Description

NOTE: The free version of HandyGPSWear is nowincluded with the free version of the HandyGPS app. Future updateswill only go into HandyGPS. This Wear-only version is no longerbeing updated.

This is a limited free version of HandyGPSWear. If you like theapp, please upgrade to the paid version of HandyGPS for unlimitedwaypoints, tracklogs, and more features including the ability totransfer waypoints to/from your phone, and MGRS grid refs.

This app was specifically designed to take advantage of AndroidWear watches that include their own GPS receivers, like the SonySmartwatch 3, but will work on other smartwatches too such as theMoto 360.

With this app you can record how far you've walked on bushwalks andhikes. If you find anything interesting along the way you canrecord its location as a waypoint. The app can even guide you backto a waypoint.

The app has four pages that you can swipe between:

* The first page shows your location information including theUTM easting/northing and zone or lat/lon coordinates, altitude, GPSaccuracy and speed/direction or odometer.
* The second page lists your recorded waypoints and allows you tomark a new waypoint. (This free version of the app will only storeone waypoint)
* The third page allows you to open the Goto and Map pages.
* The fourth page allows you to change the settings such ascoordinate type and units (metres and kilometres per hour, or feetand miles per hour). You can scroll this page down for moreoptions.

To mark a waypoint, press the "+" button on the waypoints page andenter a name. To view a previously recorded waypoint, swipe to thewaypoints page and press on the waypoint name.

You can press the brightness button on the main page to reducethe screen brightness when you're not looking at it to conservebattery power. It is recommended that you leave the maincoordinates page visible when you're using the odometer.

All coordinates use the global standard datum, WGS84. Lat/Loncoords can be shown in decimal degrees, Deg-Min-Sec or Deg-Minformats.

Before installing the app, make sure that your phone is pairedto your smartwatch using Bluetooth and Google's Android Wear app isrunning. After installation, HandyGPSWear will run either when yoursmart watch is paired to an Android phone via BlueTooth, orstand-alone if the watch has its own GPS receiver.

NOTE: If your watch does not have magnetic and accelerometersensors, do not turn on the "Use mag sensor on goto page" option,otherwise the goto page will not work.

IMPORTANT: When you're finished using the app swipe to close itrather than pressing the physical home button since otherwise theapp will continue running and waste battery power.
