Waypoint vs WayPointMaster

Waypoint is an offline GPS compass for outdoor navigation. Drop a pin anywhere — your car, your campsite, a trailhead, a fishing spot — and a big arrow points the way back with live distance. No maps to download, no cell service, no account. It works in airplane mode, deep in the backcountry, and in the garage where your maps app gives up. WORKS WITH NO SIGNAL The arrow runs on your phone's GPS and magnetometer — local sensors, local math. No data connection, no map tiles, nothing phoning home. It also shows how accurate your GPS fix is — when you save a pin and while you navigate — so you never have to guess whether your position is trustworthy. UNLIMITED PINS, FREE There is no limit and no paywall on capacity. Save every fishing hole, trailhead and campsite you want, for free. Name them, choose from dozens of icons, attach a photo, and see each one's elevation. Drop a pin where you stand in one tap, or mark a spot anywhere on the map. RECORD A TRAIL, THEN WALK IT BACK Start recording and Waypoint lays down breadcrumbs along your route. When you turn around, follow your own track back on the map — the way you actually came, not a straight line through a ravine. Made for unmarked trails, fresh snow, dense forest, and anywhere the way in was easier than the way out. RALLY — FIND YOUR PEOPLE Start a Rally, share the code, and everyone sees each other live on one map, with a roster showing how far away each person is. Point the same arrow at a person instead of a pin. Built for festivals, theme parks and campgrounds. Rallies are temporary — they expire on their own, and nothing is shared before or after. Starting a Rally needs Pro; joining one is always free, so only one person in the group needs it. THE COMPASS, UPGRADED Waypoint Pro puts every saved pin around the dial at its true bearing — turn toward any one and navigate. Add bearing lock to hold a heading, a live heading strip above the arrow, high-detail markings, and the position of the sun and moon so you never miss golden hour. WEATHER WHERE YOU'RE ACTUALLY STANDING Pro also brings weather for your coordinates, not the nearest city: current conditions with an hour-by-hour timeline, UV index and risk band, humidity and dew point, wind speed, direction and gusts, and sunrise and sunset with exactly how much daylight you have left. MAKE IT YOURS Fifteen themes, including Blizzard, Ember, Nature, Sunny and a carbon-fibre finish. Night Mode goes red-on-black to protect your dark adaptation, and AMOLED mode uses true black to save battery. Plus alternate app icons and haptic profiles. WHAT PEOPLE USE IT FOR • Finding the car in a huge lot, a garage, or a trailhead • Marking a campsite, a tree stand, a mushroom patch • Getting back to the boat or the anchorage • Finding one tent in a sea of identical tents FREE — NO ACCOUNT, NO CATCH • Unlimited pins, with photos and elevation • Full arrow navigation, completely offline • Trail recording and retracing • Join any Rally — no Pro needed • Map view and mark-on-map • Game Mode — guess a pin's bearing and get scored • Imperial or metric units • No ads.

WayPointMaster is an offline GPS instrument for the helm. It shows live course and speed, stores waypoints, records tracks, and steers you to a mark or along a saved route — with no account and without sending your location to a server. Built for small-craft and coastal work: large monospaced readouts, day and night screens, and everything stored on the iPhone. THE BRIDGE (FREE) • Course over ground (COG) and speed over ground (SOG), with compass heading when the GPS course is stale • Bearing (BRG), distance (DST), time to go, and ETA while navigating • Coordinates in decimal degrees, degrees–decimal minutes (DDM), or degrees–minutes–seconds (DMS) • GPS status you can trust: OK, weak, poor, lost, plus horizontal accuracy and a warning when the fix is old • If Location is denied, a clear screen explains why GPS is needed and opens iOS Settings • Mark a waypoint from a live, accurate fix — not from a dead last-known position • Waypoints listed as WP (name), with categories (anchorage, fishing, pier, hazard, other), notes, search, and sort • Navigate to a waypoint: steering arrow, arrival alarm (default 50 m, adjustable) • Follow a saved track along its recorded points • Record tracks with time and distance intervals; average speed ignores time spent stopped • Export waypoints and tracks as GPX via the system Share sheet • Day / night display, optional auto day–night, optional keep-screen-on • GPS modes: Precise (navigation accuracy) or Economy (saves battery) • Speed in km/h or knots; distance in kilometres or nautical miles • Languages: English, Ukrainian, German, French, Italian, Greek, Spanish, Hindi, Simplified Chinese, or follow the iPhone LIFETIME (ONE-TIME IN-APP PURCHASE) • Import GPX: waypoints (wpt), tracks (trk), and routes (rte) • Optional background GPS so the live fix and an open track can continue when the app is not in front A 7-day trial of the extra features starts on first launch. After it ends, the bridge, your waypoints, and your tracks stay fully usable. Restore Purchases is in Settings and on the paywall. PRIVACY AND LOCATION WayPointMaster has no developer backend, no ads, and no tracking. Precise location is used only on the device for course, speed, marks, navigation, and logs. Background / Always access is off until you turn on Settings → GPS → Background GPS. While it is on, iOS shows the system location indicator. Coordinates stay on the phone unless you yourself export or share a GPX file. Support and the privacy policy are in Settings 1. WayPointMaster is an instrument, not a chartplotter: it does not include nautical charts or official notices to mariners. Use it with your own paper or electronic charts and good seamanship.
