Halfmile’s PCT iPhone App
A companion app to Halfmile's Paciļ¬c Crest Trail printed maps to aid navigation on the PCT. The app determines your location and, if on the PCT or one of its side trails, it calculates trail distances to 1,700 PCT landmarks and displays relevant trail notes for the location. Should a hiker stray off-trail, the app calculates distance and compass bearing back to the trail.
Other features of the app include:
- Calculates which printed map pages contain your location
- Powerful search function for features like water sources, campsites, and resupply locations
- Simulation mode for hike planning
- Calculates UTM coordinates
- Displays bearing in true or magnetic north
- Displays distances in miles or kilometers
- Works without cell phone service
This app does not include maps of the PCT. It assumes hikers are using a printed set of Halfmile's maps.
