pathRecorder - come back

iOS Universal

SPECIAL PRICE (for a limited time): $2.99 instead of $3.99

Do you love hiking in the mountains? You like to go sailing? Follow the mountain trails with your jeep or your mountain bike? Want to be sure to return to the starting position of your trip (also if You lost the path)? Do you want to mark Your voyage points with a special label (interest, careful, alert, sos waypoint)? Do you want to send an SOS with your current position, the recording of the path traveled and a call for help? Want to share your path recorded with its navigation data?
pathRecorded is the right application for you.
Before starting a path press the "Rec" button: pathRecorder will record for you the path using the integrated GPS receiver.
At any time, by pressing the "Come back" the application will guide you back to path's starting point, tracing back the route taken (from the current position to the starting position - come back home).
During the "Come back" you can start a new path by pressing the "Rec" button: the application will continue the path from the current position.

Other features:
- Ability to save the path recorded on a file.csv
- Archive of paths recorded
- File manager for load, rename, delete and share the paths recorded
- "iTunes File Sharing" or "Open In" or "SOS email" to share the data of the recorded route
- Record the path on a text file.csv, import it into any text editor or Excel, Numbers, OpenOffice Calc for later analysis:
* .csv recorded file format: latitude(deg);longitude(deg);course(deg);speed(m/s);altitude(m);heading(deg);timestamp(sec);waypointID(int);
* waypointID( integer number ) are the saved positions of the path:
0:NORMAL, 1:INTEREST, 2:ALERT, 3:SOS

NOTES ABOUT NAVIGATION:
This navigator / recorder of path has been designed to work in places other than the normal navigation systems for cars.
It is therefore suitable for locations where cars can not travel, but can also be used on cars, on the normal urban or rural roads or mountain trails/woods.

ZOOM (IN/OUT):
dragging two fingers on the screen (pinch gesture)

App type:
- UNIVERSAL APP (new iPad and iPhone/iTouch retina display supported)

What's new

* Added google map view: now You can display, if You need, on the pathRecorder google map window
- Your current location
- the marked "INTEREST" waypoints (with the latitude, longitude and altitude values)
- the marked "ALERT" waypoints (with the latitude, longitude and altitude values)
- the marked "SOS" waypoints (with the latitude, longitude and altitude values)
* Better app start zoom for the path recorded visualization (for the walking navigation condition)
* Better and more accurate "Come back" routine: in the calculation of the route now it is considered the error in GPS positioning (all the GPS receivers have a positioning error when receiving the navigation data from the GPS systems). It allows the system to give very accurate indication to come back to home position.
