VHtrails

iPhone / Navigation

The VHtrails app assists you in getting directions to the trails as well as navigating on the trail. The trails are well maintained and marked but in case you get lost or find yourself in a distress situation, the app may serve as a helpful guide.

Once the app is installed, all necessary data is stored on your smartphone for offline use and there will be no need for internet or cell connection once you are in the field. No specific setting or configuration is required.

The Home Screen shows all trail systems that are available. Tap the image for more details. From the Details Screen you can either get driving directions to the trail or open the respective trails map.

The Trails Map shows the maintained trails with the main trails (or loop) highlighted. A tap on the location button will move the map center to your current location and rotate the map in the direction of the phone.

A drawer menu at the Home Screen provides additional functions such as Help information and a link to the Vinalhaven Land Trust website.

Quoi de neuf dans la dernière version ?

The chart on top of the trails map for each Preserve has been updated to support drag of a finger across the chart. Altitude data will be displayed and an icon of a person will be shown on the respective place of the map. Another tap on the chart will remove the references. The "About and Help" information has been updated accordingly.
The app now fully supports offline use. After initial checking for updates and downloading trails and map data, the app will go offline and only needs GPS satellite reception.
