Yes, hold phone flat for coordinates. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jeff Samco Sent: Wednesday, March 15, 2023 10:47 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Accessible GPS apps and bread crumbs
Several years ago I tried out MyWay Light. As I recall, one can set bread crumb points and name them as one wishes. Then one can select any named point and get directions and, if I recall correctly, distance to that location. I think holding the phone flat and pointed ahead then tells you the compass direction to turn to for proper orientation. I’m probably off in some details but it seemed very useful and simple at the time. I don’t know what the “light” version has for limitations, perhaps it is the number of points one can store. Hopefully it’s still in the App Store.

He lives on a farm that is approximately 60 acres in size. He needs an app in which he can navigate between specific landmarks on his property and be given directions or indicators if he wanders astray. This would be, for example, reaching a water tower from his house or finding his way back to his house from another part of his property. If anyone can suggest a specific app that will fit the bill, please let me know. Also, if one can give pointers that I can pass along to the person, I’d appreciate that as well. Take Care John D.
