Hiking Maps
Read full descriptionHide full description
Hiking Maps was developed with guidance from hardcore hiking clubs that require rich and detailed maps, offline functionality, as well as easy planning right from their phones. These hiking groups continue to guide us in our development of what we hope to one day be the best offline map app for the iPhone. INTUITIVE ROUTE PLANNING Intuitive planning is supported by three key features to make it a breeze to plan your journey entirely on your phone or prepare a route for sharing with larger groups. Finger Route Tracing - Simply drag your finger along the approximate path you want to take, Hiking Maps will adjust your trace to match the closest navigable path. You can then review the distance, the difficulty based on elevation gain and try different alternatives. Save the route once satisfied and you’ll be able to follow it once you hit the trail. Detailed Route Recording - When exploring new trails for group hikes or your own future returns, you can turn on recording and automatically track time, distance, altitude and elevation gain. You can also add a vast amount of helpful info such as images, videos, and audio notes along important waypoints. Import Popular Hikes - Hiking Maps supports all major navigation tracking files such as GPX, KML, and KMZ. CONFIDENT EXPLORING When it comes to exploring, helping you feel safe and confident was our biggest goal when designing Hiking Maps. We’ve added the following features to make that a reality: Detailed Offline Maps – download maps before your journey and explore wilderness without having to waste your battery or having to rely on internet connection. You can use your maps much longer while in airplane mode and you can reach trails where internet connectivity is not available. Off-Route Notification – adjustable text size lets you easily read the maps as you follow a pre-loaded track or explore new trails. Turn on off-route notifications and you’ll get an audio notification when you stray off the path. SOS Alerts – preset who you want to notify as your emergency contacts and quickly send them an update with your location and condition if you face a challenge where you need a helping hand. EASY ROUTE SHARING Whether it’s sending your previous hike to a select group of hikers or sharing your adventure to a wider public, we make it easy to help spread the joy of hiking: One Tap Sharing – after planning and creating a route in detail you can share it in any popular navigation file format with a friend or group of friends, or upload it to our public database of hikes enriched with all your waypoint information. Create Professional Relief Maps – our advanced features let you create advanced navigation tools such as digital elevation models (DEM) relief maps. Print-Ready Maps – create images of maps with waypoints and detailed topography information. Print the maps out or post them on your hiking group website or social media page and let fellow hikers get a good idea about your trail with a single glance. Please note: You have 90 days to try out all features and settings of Hiking Maps after first installation. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

山盒地圖把走過的路、沿途的照片和備註,記在同一張紀錄頁裡。 到了山屋,留一句「今晚住這裡」,或拍張照片。你和隊友在山上留下的故事,有訊號時就能傳回家。 ■ 沿路記錄,傳給家人看 開啟追蹤後,App 會持續記錄行進軌跡。鎖定螢幕、把手機放進背包,或切去拍照,都能繼續記錄。 家人免安裝、免註冊,點開分享連結後,新傳回的位置會自動更新在頁面上。 收不到訊號的路段,位置先存在手機裡,恢復收訊後自動補傳。家人看到的時間,是最後傳出去的時間,不代表你此刻就在那個位置。 也可以只在山屋、營地等地方單次打卡,附上一句話或一張照片。 紀錄頁從建立起 40 天後自動過期,觀看不會延長期限。 ■ 隊友的位置和備註,都在同一頁 把紀錄頁的代碼給隊友,大家就能記在同一頁。隊友傳回的備註,例如「水源乾了」,會帶著代號與回報時間出現在你的畫面上。 在探索地圖裡,也能對照每個人最後回報的位置。 登山口沒有訊號,也能先建立紀錄頁,把代碼告訴隊友。恢復收訊後會用原來的代碼上線,分享連結不用換。 ■ 全台地圖,出發前一鍵下載 全台圖資約 500 MB,一鍵下載到手機,山上沒訊號也能看等高線和地形。圖上標有 925 條路線的名稱,包括聖稜線、能高越嶺、淡蘭古道。 行前規劃路線時,找路功能會沿著步道計算。算好的路線可以存起來,上山時拿來對照。 立體地形圖把坡度與地形凹凸用顏色呈現,離線也能查看稜線、溪溝和山坡的起伏。 訊號地圖收錄林業署通訊點標示牌,還有山友實測網路訊號田野調查圖,在山上找網咖更方便。 也支援魯地圖(Rudy Map):可以在 App 裡下載魯地圖官方圖資,切換後離線一樣能用。 地圖相關功能全面免費,未來也維持免費。 ■ 看看這條路在舊地圖上的樣子 時光機把 19 層歷史地圖排成時間軸。走古道或看舊聚落時,可以按住比對同一處,看看百年前的路和聚落畫在哪裡。 ■ 其他登山工具 ・座標提供 WGS84、TWD97、TWD67 三種格式。 ・地圖可匯出 PDF 供列印,產生檔案時不必連網。 ・後方交會可用兩個辨認得出的山頭方位,估算自己所在的位置。 ・手機有氣壓計時,可查看在山屋或營地休息期間的氣壓趨勢。 ・日出日落與月相,可依地點、日期查詢。 — 【關於追蹤功能】 追蹤回報是「多一層保險」,不是救難服務。 它不能取代 119、112、衛星通訊裝置,也不能取代正式的登山計畫申報。 山區訊號、手機電量與作業系統的背景限制,都可能讓位置無法即時送出。 請把它當成備援,而不是唯一的依靠。 【關於背景定位】 只有在你主動開啟追蹤後,App 才會在背景記錄位置,隨時可以停止。 詳細的資料處理方式見隱私權政策。 — 山盒 PeaKit 是台灣的登山工具平台,除了離線地圖,還有行程規劃與山區天氣分析。 https://peakit.tw
