NaturaPin app analytics for September 3

You find a slope full of chanterelles. Next year you remember it as "somewhere off the gravel road, past that clearing". NaturaPin exists so you do not have to. Press the plus button, pick what you found, and the place is saved. It takes a second, with gloves on, in the rain. Back home on the sofa it is all still there on the map. MARK WHERE YOU STAND The app waits for three readings that are each accurate to within ten metres and saves the median of them. However accurate it turned out to be is always written out, in metres. Nothing here pretends to be more precise than it is. PLACE PINS BY HAND Somewhere you already know goes on the map with a sight in the middle of the screen. A hand-placed pin gets a small hand symbol, so you can tell a place you measured from a place you merely pointed at. MUSHROOMS, BERRIES, FISH — AND SOMEWHERE TO STOP Around thirty kinds are ready to use, from chanterelle and porcini to perch, pike and cloudberry, along with rest areas, campsites and motorhome stops. Missing something? Add it yourself: a name, a symbol and a colour. It does not have to be a species — a swimming spot, a woodshed or a gate works just as well. WEATHER AND DIRECTION OF TRAVEL Temperature, wind and conditions are fetched automatically when you mark a find. With no signal the find is saved anyway. Mark one while moving and the direction you were heading is saved with it — most useful for rest areas, where what you need to know next time is which side of the road it is on. A PHOTO OF THE FIND Take one as you mark, or add it later. The photo stays with the find. YOUR PLACES STAY YOURS No account, no sign-in, no server. Your finds live on your own device and nobody else can reach them. The only thing that ever leaves it is the coordinate of a find, sent to the weather service at the moment the weather is fetched — and the weather can be switched off.
