Bucephalas Ephemeral vs Geographica | offline map

+ Limitation of this App 'Ephemeral' This app is a limited-functionality version of 'Bucephalas'. (1) Your journey to go around Knots is recorded in the same manner as the full version, but only those unknotted within 24 hours are shown on the map. (2) Travel Logs in the Dispelling Mode are recorded only for the first nine fog clusters. (3) You can chase a Mirage until its grows to Level 10. (4) A geoglyph draft mode of the rectangular footprints is not available. Bucephalas Tabula rasa is a free version of this app. You can experience the features of the full version in a real ride using Tabula rasa. + Features as a Cycle Computer App 　Bucephalas Ephemeral is designed on an assumption that a user's primary transportation device is a bicycle. Therefore, this app has basic features as a cycle computer app. • A quasi-realtime slope meter using a barometer. • Auto recording of local minima of slopes. • Elevation gain, max elevation gain, cumulative elevation gain by using a GPS altimeter or a barometer. • Heading estimation thad does not use magnetic compass whenever possible. • Voice navigation to a destination. • Indicates the direction of a destination by using 3D sounds (stereo sounds). • Adaptive control of GPS activity depending on the battery level (full-blast mode, high-accuracy mode, power-saving mode, starvation mode, and nirvana mode). • Effective speed; an original speed statistic based on a medial speed instead of a mean. • Location bookmark. • Realtime speed meter. • Max speed indicator. • Travel distance since the launch of the app. • Odometer. • The altitude and barometer. • Auto-recording of a travel path. + Purpose of Unknotting Imagine that someone has drawn a large number of latitudinal and longitudinal lines on the earth. These lines are separated by 1/60 degrees, or 1 minute. The intersections of these lines are called KNOTs. Your mission is to unknot as many knots as possible. + How do you unknot a Knot? You can unknot a knot by simply approaching within a radius of 50 m of a knot. + Gordian Knots Most knots have fractions in their coordinates. For example, the latitude and longitude of the knot close to Apple Inc. are (+37.33333, -122.03333). However, the coordinates of some knots do not have fractions. Such knots are called Gordian Knots. The Gordian Knot closest to Apple Inc. lies at (+37.00000, -122.00000). Gordian Knots are unknotted in the same manner as ordinary knots. + Play Carefully How many knots can you unknot? However, it should be noted that approaching some knots could be dangerous. So, play this game carefully at your own risk. + IMPORTANT This App uses GPS in the background. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. + Health Management This App estimates the magnitude of your physical activity and shows it as METs•Hour (a product of Metabolic Equivalents of tasks and activity duration in hour). The estimated physical activity magnitude can be converted into calories burned. In doing so, this app needs your body mass data and has to communicate with Health App to obtain the data. Also, this app can export the physical activity recorded in this app to Health app.

A GPS navigation app for hiking and mountaineering that works offline, even in airplane mode or out of cell range. With Geographica on your iPhone, you can help prevent getting lost or stranded. Your current location is displayed accurately on topographic maps even deep in the mountains, and you can record the route you walked. ■ How to Use Search "Geographica how to use" on YouTube for tutorial videos. ■ Quick Tips ・Slide the coordinate bar at the top of the screen to reveal the search bar. Search by mountain or place name. ・The third button from the top on the right shows your current location. Long-press to turn it green and lock your location to the center. Tap again to turn it yellow for free scrolling. ・The third button from the bottom registers a marker at the screen center. ・The second button from the bottom starts GPS log recording. ・The menu button in the upper left gives access to all functions. ・If you're unsure how to operate something, long-press the menu button for context-relevant functions. ■ Main Features ・Nearly all features are free to use. ・Cache-based offline GPS app. Maps you view are automatically saved and can be accessed without cell coverage. Older maps are automatically deleted based on capacity and age, so your storage won't fill up. ・Supports various maps including detailed topographic maps from the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan and OpenStreetMap. Usable worldwide for city walks and overseas trekking. ・Distance and elevation units support meters, miles, nautical miles, and feet. ・Coordinate displays include latitude/longitude (DD, DDMM, DDMMSS), UTM, and MGRS. ・Equipped with essential mountaineering features: GPS logging, marker registration and display, and route guidance. ・Voice route guidance and shake-to-speak features let you get information without screen operation—useful in snowy mountains or other situations where screen use is difficult. ・Save maps via Wi-Fi to use the app on devices without a data plan. ・Popular as teaching material for map-reading courses. ■ Compatible Devices iPhone and iPad running iOS 16 or later. Apple Watch supported. ■ FAQ Q. My current location isn't displayed. A. Location can't be determined if GPS is off. Turn on "Location Services" in Settings. Accuracy may suffer indoors, underground, in urban canyons, or in valleys. Try somewhere with a wide view of the sky. Q. Map cache disappears automatically. A. Display cache is deleted after a certain time or capacity threshold. Cleaner apps may also delete it—please exclude Geographica from them. For maps you absolutely need to keep, use the bulk cache function. We recommend saving both detailed and wide-area maps. ■ Notes and Disclaimer ・The developer assumes no responsibility for any damage caused by using this app. ・Take care against water and cold if your device has limited durability. If it powers off from cold, warm it in your pocket and relaunch—log recording will resume. ・Allow location services on first launch, or enable them later in Settings > Privacy > Location Services. ・Free to install with some features unlocked via in-app purchase. Please test before purchasing; refunds are not available. ・Using the app while walking is dangerous. Stop in a safe place first. ・Background GPS drains battery.
