If the Track Timer & Odometer are visible on the My Location screen   3:41 11.89 km   then track recording is on. When Record Track is Off, they can still be viewed on the Track screen.

The Track Timer shows hours:minutes since you turned on track recording. The Odometer shows the distance travelled during that time. If for some reason (such as you went through a tunnel) a track was not actually recorded for the whole time, the straight line distance between the two track points on either side of the recording gap is used.

When the accuracy text for Location, Elevation or Course turns red with a yellow background, the GPS satellite signals are not being received properly. Therefore your indicated position may be off.

 Heading 056 ±37° 

When the Heading Accuracy text is red or the heading seems incorrect, recalibrate the internal compass to improve the heading accuracy. Imagine arrows sticking out of all 4 sides and the front and back of your device. Rotate the device in several different ways so that each of the 6 arrows will at some time be aimed at every area on an imaginary sphere surrounding you. If this does not improve the accuracy, then move farther away from all electrical devices or metal, and repeat. The actual heading error will be greater than the displayed accuracy if near magnetic material such as steel.

In the Map Area

The Course Indicator shows the direction you are moving. The length of the Course Indicator is proportional to the square root of your speed. At speeds less than 14 km/hr, a gray Compass Heading Indicator is shown instead of the blue Course Indicator, because GPS Course measurements are not accurate at these slower speeds.

Use the Settings App to show or hide these direction vectors.

If the Compass Heading Indicator turns red or seems to be pointing in the wrong direction, recalibrate the internal compass to improve the heading accuracy. Go through the normal compass calibration movements even if you don’t see the prompt to do so. Imagine arrows sticking out of all 4 sides and the front and back of your device. Rotate the device in several different ways so that each of the 6 arrows will at some time be aimed at every area on an imaginary sphere surrounding you. If this does not change the Compass Heading Indicator to gray, then move farther away from all other electrical devices and metal, and repeat. The Compass Heading Indicator will have a large error if near magnetic material such as steel even if the Compass Heading Indicator is gray.

Stitching Maps

The option to stitch adjacent maps together is selected using the Settings App. Map stitching is ON by default.

Maps for adjacent areas may be downloaded by double-tapping in a white space or by going to the Map List screen.

Stitch Maps OFF	Stitch Maps ON
Only one map is shown.	Multiple maps are shown.
Fastest map display.	Slower when multiple maps are on screen. Zoom in to speed up.
Zoom out to show the entire length of very long tracks and routes.	Zoom out is limited to less than the size of one map. If you can’t zoom out far enough on a 50K topo map, switch to a 250K topo map.
Tab Bar Icon	Tab Bar Icon

When two adjacent maps partially overlap, as for example along the Porangahau 50K map - Blackhead 50K map border, to bring the back map to the front, double-tap the back map on the My Location screen to select it, or tap its name on the Map List screen.

Map Stitching Limitations

Map Stitching works even for New Zealand maps of different scales. A 50K map and a 250K map can stitch together. When maps for both scales are available to stitch, iHikeGPS NZ will pick the available map which has the same scale as the main selected map. If you are viewing a selected 250K map, no 50K maps will be shown. So if you want to see a mix of maps with different scales stitched together, select a map with the 50K scale and let the app stitch in the appropriate 250K maps for areas where no 50K map is available.

Navigating to Go To Waypoints:

A Go To waypoint is a waypoint indicating your planned destination. It can be either the final destination of your hike or some important place along the way.

Clear a Go To waypoint	Tap the Go To waypoint name (shown in green text). Tap  Cancel Go To  .             or, for a shortcut Press and hold the Go To waypoint name.

While navigating to a Go To waypoint, the Waypoints tab looks like this

and the top bar of the My Location screen shows this navigation information:

The Estimated Time of Arrival is recalculated every few seconds, based on the trail just traveled since the Go To waypoint was set, and assuming that the trail ahead is similar in twistiness, steepness, and general direction. The ETA will not appear until you have hiked a couple of minutes with track recording turned on, so your average speed can be more accurately determined.

The elevation difference will be shown only if the Go To waypoint has an elevation entry.

If your speed exceeds 14 kilometres per hour, then the Course (the direction you are moving) will be shown in black text instead of the compass reading in gray text.

HOW TO	DO THIS
Set a Go To Waypoint from the My Location screen	Tap   , then tap  Anywhere on the Map  . Center the desired waypoint under the red crosshairs. Tap   , then tap   Edit or Go To:     . Press and hold   Go To  .

* When any waypoint is repeated in the route waypoints list hence forming a loop, then you must pass within 160 meters of any waypoint in order to automatically switch Go To to the next waypoint. Manually tap the appropriate new Go To waypoint if necessary.

After Tapping  Edit :

TAP	RESULT
Name text	Edit the route name.

a waypoint name	Edit the waypoint name, note, location and elevation, or delete the waypoint from the route.
Cancel	Keep the route as it was with no changes.
Done	Save changes to the route.

Route waypoint names are shown in Italics  to distinguish them from regular waypoints.

Each waypoint entry in the table shows the great circle distance and bearing from the previous waypoint and the total distance along the route. When the distance is long enough that the bearing changes along the path, the “at” bearing is the bearing leaving the previous waypoint, and the “to” bearing is the bearing arriving at the new waypoint.

The route screen shows newly added or edited waypoints in red.

If a route waypoint is identical to a regular waypoint, then they are linked so that only one of them shows on the map. To break the link:

• Edit the route waypoint      or
  
• Edit the regular waypoint when the route containing the route waypoint IS NOT selected on the Routes screen.

To edit a waypoint without breaking the link:

• Edit the regular waypoint when the route containing the route waypoint IS selected on the Routes screen.

Deleting one of the linked waypoints will not delete the other.

Import:

GPX files are the preferred file type for exchanging waypoints, routes and tracks with other applications and other users, and for storing iHikeGPS NZ data outside the app. Geocaching GPX files are recognized as such and imported intelligently.

KML files can contain many things besides waypoints, paths, and tracks. When importing a KML file, all of these other things are completely ignored. The waypoints are imported as waypoints. The paths and tracks are imported as routes.

TCX files are Training Center files. Read-only support is provided for single route import from fitness apps. The .tcx file name is used as the route name.

LOC files are simplified waypoint files from Geocaching.com. Read-only support is provided mostly for users with old LOC files. If you are doing a new download from a geocaching web site, get the GPX file instead of the LOC file whenever possible, as it contains more information.

Safety:

This iOS App must not be relied on as any part of a primary means of navigation. It must not be used in a way that safety or property depends on its successful operation. Always carry a compass and a paper map as a backup. Don’t run your battery down so far that you can’t make an emergency call if needed. James Associates Inc. accepts no liability, including incidental or consequential damages, for any injury or damages that may occur from the use of iHikeGPS NZ.

Just because a track is shown on a map in iHikeGPS NZ does not mean that track is accessible to the public. The track could be on private land, and it could be both dangerous and illegal to walk on it. In New Zealand please check with the New Zealand Walking Access Commission before attempting to use a track. You are responsible for searching out and obeying all applicable restrictions and regulations.
