NaturaPin

Imagine finding a wooded hillside full of chanterelles.
The following year, you might only have a vague memory that it was
somewhere along the gravel road. NaturaPin exists so you don't have to guess.

Press the plus button, pick what you found, and the place is saved. It takes a
second, with gloves on, in the rain. Back home on the sofa it is all still
there on the map.

MARK WHERE YOU STAND
The app waits for three readings that are each accurate to within ten metres
and saves the median of them. However accurate it turned out to be is always
written out, in metres. Nothing here pretends to be more precise than it is.

PLACE PINS BY HAND
Somewhere you already know goes on the map with a sight in the middle of the
screen. A hand-placed pin gets a small hand symbol, so you can tell a place you
measured from a place you merely pointed at.

MUSHROOMS, BERRIES, FISH — AND SOMEWHERE TO STOP
Around thirty kinds are ready to use, from chanterelle and porcini to perch,
pike and cloudberry, along with rest areas, campsites and motorhome stops.
Missing something? Add it yourself: a name, a symbol and a colour. It does not
have to be a species — a swimming spot, a woodshed or a gate works just as
well.

WEATHER AND DIRECTION OF TRAVEL
Temperature, wind and conditions are fetched automatically when you mark a
find. With no signal the find is saved anyway. Mark one while moving and the
direction you were heading is saved with it — most useful for rest areas, where
what you need to know next time is which side of the road it is on.

FINDING YOUR WAY BACK TO THE CAR
Mark Parking at the car door before you walk in. When you want to get back,
tap the pin and then Directions. The kind is in the plus menu from the start.

A PHOTO OF THE FIND
Take one as you mark, or add it later — from the camera, or one already in
Photos. The photo stays with the find.

BACK IT UP
One file holds everything — finds, photos, weather, time, position and
direction — and goes wherever you choose to keep it. Finds can also be shared
as GPX, the format other outdoor apps read.

YOUR PLACES STAY YOURS
No account, no sign-in, no server. Your finds live on your own device and
nobody else can reach them. The only thing that ever leaves it is the
coordinate of a find, sent to the weather service at the moment the weather is
fetched — and the weather can be switched off.
