How to use

This app uses standard navigation features familiar across smart phone apps, other features that may not be immediately obvious include:

1. Topo downloads can be stopped and resumed as often as you wish by tapping the 'Check for Updates' section at the bottom of the Home Screen, so no need to worry if your Wi-Fi connection drops mid-download you can just wait until you are back online and restart the process until they are all downloaded. Once this is complete the app will operate fully offline (except Google Maps) and does not need an internet connection at all.
2. From the Crag detail page, the sector overview will show a paged set of sectors with a thumbnail of the topo and a sector description, tapping the thumbnail image will load that sector.
3. From within a sector, tapping the sector picker button in the bottom left toolbar will show the Sector Overview screen that can be used as above, or dismissed by tapping the Done button.
4. When viewing a sector, you can switch between the topo and routes listing using the buttons in the right of the bottom toolbar; from the routes listing page, tapping a route will switch back to the topo with the route and description shown. Selecting a route from the topo page will scroll the route listing to centre in the selected route.
5. From the topo page, you can view a description of a route by tapping the route badge, or if the route description is already open you can navigate across the routes in that sector by swiping the description left or right.
6. To get directions to a crag's parking area, you can tap the parking pin in a map which will allow you to load the Maps App with the parking GPS coordinates as your destination and your current location^* as the start.

* The app will only use location data to to indicate your current position on the map, it is not stored or transmitted externally.
