Map the approach. Document the destination.
Most caving apps start at the entrance. SpeleoMap starts at the car: the trail in, the entrance fix, the cave and the trail out, all in one project and fully offline.
Your day
The trail and the maps
The trail, recorded.
Start a hiking workout and a Hike Line, and your path draws live on the map with distance, climb and pace. Under trees or in a canyon, the motion sensors and compass carry the line until GPS comes back.
Maps for the backcountry.
Standard, Hybrid, Satellite or Topo. Topo lays OpenTopoMap contours and trails over Apple's map where the backcountry goes blank. Coordinates read in decimal degrees, DMS, UTM or MGRS.
Pins, Go and old tracks
Pins and Go, with no signal.
Drop a pin at the car, a junction or the entrance. Type coordinates in any format, or press and hold the map. Tap Go and the compass needle turns to it; on a line shown on the map, the route follows the trail.
Follow an old track.
Import GPX or KML from Gaia GPS, CalTopo or a friend and follow it. The ON ROUTE / OFF ROUTE chip buzzes when you leave the track and again when you are back on it.
Review the climb
Open a hike line on Apple Maps, or in Plan, Profile and 3D. Measure distance and true bearing between two points, the distance along the trail, how much you climbed and dropped, and the area of an outline.
Into Apple Health, out to GPX
The hike saves to Apple Health as a hiking workout, with the route on its map if you want it. Export the trail and pins as GPX or KML for Gaia GPS, CalTopo and Garmin.
