LandNav (old version, datafield)

(see the new app called "G-Punch Orienteering / LandNav 2", link in "What's New" section below) CREATE AND RUN YOUR OWN LAND NAVIGATION COURSE! - Upload the boundaries of a nearby park - Prompts you to locate random points in the park - Use a map or practice dead reckoning with a compass - Beeps when you've found the point, press lap to begin the next leg - Saves GPS tracks (and heart rate if capable) to a FIT file - Datafield runs with any standard activity OPTIONAL SETTINGS: - Shows degrees bearing and distance to the next point - Updates distance, bearing, and position as you move - Set your magnetic declination to see magnetic bearing, or 0.0 to see grid bearing - Chirps every 100m so you learn pace count - Shows position in Lat/Lon or MGRS coordinates - Saves 10 points of your course so a friend can re-run it later on - Saves points, time and distance stats to a TXT file This app is to improve your Land Navigation skills. Therefore, there is no 'arrow' and you cannot simply 'punch in' MGRS coordinates on the fly. REQUIREMENTS To configure this app, you must have an active internet connection, and sync your device with Garmin Connect or Garmin Connect Mobile app. To access the TXT file, you need a computer with a USB connection.
