android app for kayaking

Post by irldesign » Tue Jul 24, 2012 1:29 pm

Hi All,
I've been whitewater kayaking for a number of years. To help me recall the
putin/getouts, stoppers, drops, dangers etc. I've developed an app to hold all this
information.

I've gotten good feedback from other kayakers so if you would like to have a look
here's the link below or search on google play for

Outdoor Sports GPS Walk Kayak

or the link is https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... ZXNpZ24iXQ..

If you feel that there are any other features that you would like to see included please
contact the email address I put up for this app.

To view some of my kayak trips you can go to my youtube page

Extra Information:

As we all know a lot of rivers do not have cell coverage so I've developed the
app in such a way that it will display your recorded map points and using GPS to get
your current location the app will show how near you are to your recorded map point.

The app will also allow you to add new map points using your current location so
no need to have underlying maps to record trip. When you come into cell coverage
you will get the underlying map being displayed.

I think that this app would also be useful for hill walkers, biking etc

Thanks for your time

I use MotionX GPS - not bad.
Are you going to set up the app for apple/IOS as well?

I haven't developed anything on the apple platform yet, I'll have to see
how this goes first. ;)
