Before you hike

Park Otter Hike records your walk from the phone's GPS. It is a log, not a navigation aid. Carry a paper map and know your route.

• The screen must stay on. A web page gets no positions while the phone is locked or another app is in front. This page keeps the screen awake while it is open; a stretch it missed is drawn dashed and counted as not recorded.
• Distance, pace and ascent are the phone's own readings. GPS wanders under trees and in canyons, and its altitude is rough; the numbers are a guide, not a survey.
• No signal, no base map beyond the tiles you have already looked at. The track and the stats keep working without one.
• Weather alerts are the National Weather Service's, refreshed every few minutes, US only. Watch the sky.
• Your hikes stay on this phone unless you export them. Nothing is shared. A photo or clip you put on a waypoint goes to your Park Otter account's own store, private to you, and comes down when you delete it.
