I've just upgraded from an 8-year old flip top phone to a flash Samsung smart phone..... Aside from being a big step up in technology, it's been a reasonably intuitive process thank goodness.
I'm wanting to start using the NZ Topo 50 offline app for hunting. I just think it'll be really handy here in Taranaki where private and DOC land access can be a bit of a mine field. I think I've sussed out that it uses satellites/gps instead of the usual server. Soooooo...... Can I use it to track my path in case some irate cocky accused me of poaching/trespassing on their land.
Also; it can be a bit tricky on some public roads here trying to decipher where DOC and private land sits along the public roads. It can be a bit tricky just using the (paper) topo map.
I thought if you could show your path you could diffuse any (potential) arguments.... I haven't got a GPS but thought for the type of lowland goat/fallow hunting I do the phone would suffice.
Sorry for the Luddite question. I have read the different posts on here and just want to clarify things..... Thanks in advance.....
