Get Back Here 2 is designed to allow you to record a location anywhere and later to point you back to that location from anywhere else.

Get Back Here 2 does not rely on an Internet or cell phone connection to do it's work. It can provide directions from anywhere on Earth.

Before starting out the user simply needs to save their current location in Get Back Here 2. That can be accomplished by:

• Let Get Back Here 2's GPS record your location automatically.

• Choose the location using a map (an Internet connection may be required).

• Enter the latitude and longitude manually.

Later when they are lost or disoriented they can use Get Back Here to show them the exact direction and distance back to their starting point.

Get Back Here can store an unlimited number of locations for the user to get back to. The user can even enter the latitude and longitude for locations anywhere on Earth and get instant direction and distance to them.

1. From the Main screen press the Get Back to Location button.

2. You are shown a scrollable list of all the locations in your selected locations group.

   Each listing includes:

• Location group name.

• Location name.

• Distance to the location, including accuracy if available. This updates in real-time.

• Mini-compass pointing directly towards the location. This updates in real-time. The mini compass includes a built-in Magnetic North compass.

• A description window. Click the edit button to the right in order to add or edit notes about the location.

3. From the scrolling list of saved locations click on the destination you would like to get back to.

   You are shown:

• The name of the location.

• The real-time distance to the location, its elevation and, if available, the elevation difference between you and the location.

• A large compass containing a red and blue coloured needle. The red arrow indicates the exact direction to the destination.

• For more detailed information about the destination press the i nformation button at the top of the screen.

At any time you can choose from the top menubar:

• Group: Allows you to change the group whose locations are shown.

6. Press the Save button.

7. Press the OK button to confirm.

Your current location is now saved in Get Back Here 2.

Note: When in areas with no cell service it is recommended to power off your iPhone in order to save power. Cell phones use much more power searching for cellular service than when they are connected to it.

You will always get better and more accurate readings if you are outdoors and away from anything that causes magnetic interference (i.e. other electronic devices, automobiles, power lines, etc.). You will also get better results if you are in a wide open space clear of trees and/or buildings.

• Map:
  1. Click on the Add A Location button and you will see a map, centered on your current location along with blue crosshairs.

  Note: Clicking on a location pin will show the name and distance to that location along with an i nformation button. Clicking on the i nformation button will take you directly to a large compass pointing you directly to that location.

• There will be a set of blue crosshairs over your location.

• Pan and zoom the map to the new location you'd like to save. The crosshairs will remain centred on the screen.

• Keep panning until the new location is directly under the corsshairs. Zoom in or out as needed.

• When you are happy with the crosshairs' location click on Save.

• The save screen will popup allowing you to give the location a name, select a different group if necessary, and add a description.

• The coordinates of the crosshairs on the map are saved with the new location.

• Note: Since the map does not indicate altitude none will be saved.

Click Save when done.

• Group Locations Listing: The map will show each location in your group as red pins. The map will be zoomed to encompass all the pins in one view. Note: Clicking on a location pin will show the name and distance to that location along with an i nformation button. Clicking on the i nformation button will take you directly to a large compass pointing you directly to that location.

• Single Location: The map will show the pins in your current group and will be centred and zoomed into the current location you've been viewing. You can zoom out to reveal the rest of the location pins in your group.

• Clicking on the "+" in the top navigation bar allows you to add a new location at any time while viewing a map. The crosshairs will appear and a new location can be added as per the Add A Location method shown above.

• Keyboard Button: Clicking on the top keyboard button will bring up the Add A Location screen where you can add all the information yourself, including latitude and longitude.

• Units: This sets how distance measurments are displayed:
  • Metric: Distances are displayed in meters (m) and Kilometers (Km)

  • Imperial (US): Distances are displayed in feet (ft) and miles (mi)

• Coordinate Display: This sets how degrees of latitude and longitude are entered and displayed:

• Degrees: Degrees are entered and displayed in decimal degrees (i.e. 45.25). Values are entered via a keypad. North/South and East/West designations are entered using the appropriate buttons provided.

• Deg Min Sec: Degrees are entered and displayed in degree, minute and second values. Values are entered using the appropriate spinwheels provided. North/South and East/West designations are entered using the appropriate buttons provided.

• Map Type: This sets the type of map that is displayed througout the app.
  • Standard: A street map that shows the position of all roads and some road names.

  • Satellite: Satellite imagery of the area.

  • Hybrid: A satellite image of the area with road and road name information layered on top.

  • Satellite Flyover: A satellite image of the area with flyover data where available.

  • Hybrid Flyover: A hybrid satellite image with flyover data where available.

  • Muted Standard: A street map where MapKit emphasizes your data over the underlying map details.

• Distance Filter: This sets the minimum distance (in meters) the iPhone must move to register a new location reading. Larger values use less power but also provide less updates to the compass. Larger values may be appropriate when moving in a vehicle or airplane. The default is None where all movements are reported.

  Note: Higher settings will use less power.

• Desired Accuracy: The iPhone does its best to achieve this accuracy, however the actual accuracy is not guaranteed.

  Note: You should select the setting that is appropriate for your usage scenario. For example, if you only need accuracy within a kilometer then select 1 Km. Determining a location with greater accuracy uses more time and power.

  The Nav (Best for Navigation) setting should only be used when your iPhone is plugged into a power supply such as a vehicle lighter as it uses the most power. The default setting is Best.
