kev56 Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Hi guys, anyone know of an app for marking locations, ie when out walking by a river say i want to remember a place to try some fishing at a later date. I've looked at some of the 'where's my car ' but do they rely on street maps. Is there one that has a direction pointer thingy when your off road, or out on the moors.

huffhuff Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 What phone do you have? Can you not just 'drop a pin' into google maps? Alternatively, I bought a 'geo caching' app that does the same thing but you get an OS map overlay (so you get footpaths etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrwabbits Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 OS MapFinder .... or just drop a pin on google maps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulsl Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 If you have an iPhone take a picture and it maps the location on google maps and you can go back any time just by accessing the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaniel Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 I suppose you could use specimen hunter app in the catch section just add NEW as location and take a photo That way you have the photo and you could add comments ref location etc to it just an idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kev56 Posted March 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 I've got iphone 4s But i'm not to clever with high tech stuff unless i've got my kids around me. i'll try a couple of the above and see how i get on ( lost probably ) :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welsh1 Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 how do you do that, i dont see settings when i open a photo Make sure you have location services switched on otherwise it won't work. This is on a galaxy s3 Open a photo you took outside,then touch your settings bar on the left of the home button,a long menu of options will come up,if you had a gps lock on when the photo was taken there will be an option about 5 down stating GET DIRECTIONS,tap it and maps will open up with directions from where you are to where the photo was taken. Always handy when in a strange city going out for a drink,take pic of hotel, get drunk, map back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
