Questions? Please click on CONTACT US on our support web site. We respond to all customer inquiries promptly. Make My Trail turns your iPhone or GPS-equipped iPad into a powerful tool for recording your outdoor activities and converting them into interactive trails that you can share, analyze, and follow again. Interactive trails are more than lines on a map. They change color as you traverse them, and trigger alerts if you wander too far off the trail. Tap interactive trails to select them and access trails features. Make My Trail also lets you create waypoints: providing you with distance-and-direction navigation assistance, or with a few taps you can access Maps turn-by-turn navigation to any waypoint you create. Make My Trail will notify you upon arrival at any waypoint you set - even if the app is minimized while recording your track. With Make My Trail you're not just a blue dot on the map: the app literally points the way along the trails and toward the waypoints that you create. Track recording continues when the app is minimized, which is much easier on the battery than recording with the app in the foreground. But... PLEASE NOTE: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
