So I will use the phone for tracker and take the separate camera for photos. My guess is that I could get 2 days out of 1 charge by stopping everything but tracker.<br />I am well impressed with OS.AlanRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180571503542781921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439013386414903935.post-59043063111142960082016-09-19T20:52:33.355+01:002016-09-19T20:52:33.355+01:00Interesting.

I'm finding that the S5 battery lasts for 12 hours with the Anquet mapping software tracking turned on. ViewRanger (used in Italy) seemed similar (we never walked for long enough to properly test it) though it drained Cary's iPhone battery very quickly, so he couldn't leave the tracker on.Phreerunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08551842487502221703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439013386414903935.post-23020918947185913552016-09-17T19:37:46.404+01:002016-09-17T19:37:46.404+01:00£20 is good value.

I must try the route maker on all day and see what happens. Nice outing. afootinthehillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06670636358354420373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439013386414903935.post-61544231527903867072016-09-17T18:45:11.086+01:002016-09-17T18:45:11.086+01:00I'm glad I don't have to use public transp...I'm glad I don't have to use public transport any more except for "pleasure".<br />With OS it also locates you instantly, far superior to Satmap which I find very odd and frustrating. <br />As all other mapping software companies use OS I think £20 a year is very good value.<br />I had the route maker on all day on the walk and when I got back home I still had 65% battery life left on iPhone 6. That too is impressive.AlanRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180571503542781921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439013386414903935.post-84934775132253013062016-09-17T18:07:26.532+01:002016-09-17T18:07:26.532+01:00Public transport eh?

Checking position on the iPhone was instant today whereas from cold, it took SatMap 2 minutes 12 seconds. I know the iPhone battery would drain rapidly I'f used seriously for long but for checking a position in poor weather, which I guess is what most of use GPS for, the mapping on the phone is far superior. afootinthehillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06670636358354420373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439013386414903935.post-51658410140239987002016-09-17T12:45:19.405+01:002016-09-17T12:45:19.405+01:00Cheers Dawn.
