ModernCompass app for iPhone and iPad

Do you ever explore the outdoors, but worry about no one finding you if you get lost? What happens if you get unconscious on a hike, but no one knows where to look for you?

ModernCompass is a very simple, easy to use application that intelligently tracks your location during your expedition. Developed with network connection and battery consumption issues in mind, all you have to do is simply...

• Turn ModernCompass on and set your emergency contacts
• Set your return time
• Put ModernCompass in the background of your phone and hike away

(It is recommended to open ModernCompass every 30-45 minutes to make sure iOS doesnt close it completely).

So how does ModernCompass work?

• Our app makes use of GPS and your devices accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer to make sure your location is tracked in the most battery efficient way.
• Once set, your emergency contacts will be notified via text message when you start, finish, and if youre not back in time. If youre not back in time, your emergency contacts will also receive your latest GPS coordinates so they know your whereabouts.
• Text messages are sent from our server. That means that if something happens to you and theres no network connectivity, your emergency contacts will still be notified if youre not back in time!

And best of all, its absolutely free!
