Frequently Asked Questions

What is Waypoint and who is it designed for?

Waypoint is an all-in-one GPS, navigation, and environmental tracking app designed for hikers, photographers, surveyors, and engineers. It combines tools like satellite status, a compass, an altimeter, and golden hour metrics into a single application.

How does the Backtrack Navigation feature work?

Once activated, the path recording feature tracks your movement in the background. You can then reload any saved route on the radar to retrace your steps and walk back step-by-step.

What photography features does Waypoint offer?

Waypoint includes a Golden Hour tracker and blue hour metrics to provide precise lighting calculations for your location. It also sends proactive notifications so you do not miss the opportunity for a perfect shot.

How does the altimeter measure my altitude?

Waypoint combines GPS data with your device's built-in barometric pressure sensor for highly stable and precise elevation readings. It also includes a Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI) to show your real-time ascent and descent rate in meters per second or feet per minute.

Can Waypoint record my route while the app is running in the background?

Yes. Once activated, the path recording feature stays active in the background to continuously track your movements as you walk.

What tools does Waypoint provide for GNSS auditing and GPS testing?

Waypoint provides high-precision GPS data, live satellite status, and a compass. These tools are designed to help professionals, such as surveyors and engineers, audit GNSS hardware and view precise coordinates.
