10月1日的Te Araroa - The Trail App应用程序分析

The official Te Araroa app, from the Te Araroa Trust. Free. Every topographic map, hut, campsite and trail note for the whole 3,000 km between Cape Reinga and Bluff is stored on your phone before you leave. No signal. No data. No subscription. Te Araroa is New Zealand's national trail, and this is the app for walking it — whether you are thru-hiking the length of the country or out for a weekend section. WHAT YOU GET OFFLINE TOPO MAPS OF THE WHOLE TRAIL The full New Zealand topographic map set downloads into the app. Pan and zoom the Richmonds or the Ureweras with your phone in aeroplane mode. Contours, huts, rivers and backcountry routes, with no connection anywhere. THE RIDGELINE The elevation profile of the entire trail, not just the section you are standing on. Scrub forward to see the climb that is waiting for you, with huts and campsites drawn on the profile where they actually fall. OFFICIAL TRAIL NOTES, IN YOUR DIRECTION Turn-by-turn notes from the Te Araroa Trust, reordered and every arrow flipped the moment you tell the app you are walking northbound or southbound. EVERY HUT AND CAMPSITE DOC huts and campsites, private campsites, holiday parks, hostels and water sources, with bunk counts, facilities, photos and comments from other trampers. ALERTS THAT REACH YOU Closures, hazards, flooded rivers and seasonal access changes, pushed to your phone and drawn on the map. WEATHER AND TIDES 24-hour and 7-day forecasts at huts and sections. Tide tables for the coastal crossings, stored offline a year ahead. YOUR PROGRESS Every section and every kilometre you have walked, filling in region by region. TRACK YOUR WALK Log your route as you go with GPS, and keep the history. TA LOCALS AND VOLUNTEERING Trail-supporting businesses along the way, and the working bees that keep the trail open. BUILT FOR THE BACKCOUNTRY GPS navigation that does not need a phone signal, because most of Te Araroa does not have one. Fixes are flagged when they go stale, so you always know whether the app knows where you are. ABOUT THE DOWNLOAD SIZE The maps are large because the whole country is in them. That is the point. Once they are downloaded, nothing about navigation needs a connection. SAFETY This app is not a safety tool. It does not replace proper safety equipment, including notes, maps and a personal locator beacon, and it is not a substitute for preparing properly for Te Araroa. Being prepared is your responsibility. Te Araroa Trust: https://www.teararoa.org.nz Questions, requests or problems: Apps@ellped.com
