About this app

Turn your phone into a powerful GPS navigator and explore with confidence—on hiking trails, backcountry roads, waterways or city streets.

GPS Waypoints Navigator combines hundreds of downloadable offline maps with easy-to-use navigation tools for hikers, boaters, off-road explorers, campers, hunters, anglers and geocachers. Navigate beyond cellular coverage using GPS and maps stored on your device or SD card.

Explore with Offline Maps

Download unlimited maps from a library of more than 300 vector maps. Choose from topographic, satellite, hiking, biking and road maps, OpenStreetMap, Mapnik, OpenSeaMap, USGS Topo, Canada Toporama, NOAA nautical charts and other raster and vector sources.

Create, Record and Share Trails

Record your journey as you travel or create a custom trail before you leave. Organize saved tracks, review trail statistics and elevation profiles, and share routes with friends.

Create waypoints and attach notes and coordinate-tagged photos, then organize locations with a searchable waypoint filing system.

Import and export trails, waypoints, notes and photos using GPX, KML and KMZ files. Import GPX files from Garmin, exchange routes with other users, view your data in Google Earth or upload tracks and waypoints to OpenStreetMap.

Easy, Flexible Navigation

Follow a waypoint compass that always points toward your destination or use GPS Reflected Pseudo-Radar for an intuitive target display. Waypoint proximity alerts, distance and bearing measurements, inter-waypoint distances and map measurement tools help you stay on course.

Search or navigate by address or coordinates in standard, UTM, MGRS or British Ordnance Survey format. GPS satellite graphs, position charts and a military coordinate finder provide added precision.

For Trails, Backcountry and Open Water

Plan hikes, record ATV and off-road routes, mark campsites and save important locations. View trail elevation profiles and waypoint altitude using GPS, SRTM or location-based USGS data where available.

For boating, use downloadable NOAA nautical charts, OpenSeaMap, marine units and a drag-anchor alert. Set a drift radius and receive a warning if your vessel moves beyond it.

Animated Doppler radar, cloud maps, sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moonset and moon-phase information help you plan around changing weather conditions and daylight.

Email a map of your position, share tracks and waypoints, and transfer navigation data between compatible apps and devices.

Everything Included—No Account Required

All features are included with your original purchase. No subscription, account setup or registration is required.

Supported languages include English, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Japanese, French, Italian, Russian, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese.

this is a navigation app. It will tell you your GPS position and speed and direction of travel in cars, walking, on bicycles, and at sea. if you sit next to the window it will work on airplanes. you can download maps and mark waypoints on your journey. You can also link photos of the waypoints. Very useful for getting back from a wilderness hike. I have found it to be reliable for years. When you pay the small amount to get the Pro version the Pro status transfers to the next phone.

Very nice for boating, hiking, etc! . . We use it to plan and draw trails from the easy chair to our favorite spots on the lake, and to navigate around submerged hazards using the nautical charts. Followimg the pre-drawn trails over the nautical charts and satellite maps, gets us there safely every time. It also has a unique "go to waypoint function" that points to your waypoint, with speed, distance, ETA, heading, waypoint coordinates, etc. Just point the boat in the direction of the arrow.

Not a good program. I thought by upgrading to the GPS Waypoint navigator from the Polaris version that it would get better. It hasn't and I'm having buyer's remorse. First of all the maps are not as detailed as similar programs, more importantly is that the GPS tracking just draws a straight line from one point to the other it does not show your course along the way in active time. You have to go back to the trail and then back out to the map to find out where you've been. Major downfall

If a map does not have the detail you need, try downloading one of the other map types. The app has 400+ vector maps to choose from and several raster maps including several Topo maps, USGS and nautical charts. The app does show tracking in real time, but it sounds like you need help with this. Email support@discipleskies.com for help.
