MAPS (online/offline)
Scout makes use of the so called Open Street Map. This worldwide map shows major information for streets, paths and towns. Via touch screen it is easy to move and zoom the digital map.
In addition you can download detailed topographic maps in our Map Store with scale 1:50.000. These maps are perfect for activities in the outback, because they show even small field paths. You get everything digital, handy and low priced. These special maps can be used on all devices connected with your iTunes Account
SPEEDOMETER
You can choose which information you see in six defined fields. While on tour you get reliable information on:

SETTINGS
Here you find all settings for your Scout iPhone app, like downloads of topographic, detailed maps (Wi-Fi connection recommended) to be independent from an online connection later when in nature. Likewise you can define a favored measure (metric or US) or the setting how you record tours (optimized, time and distance interval). The Online-Help gives you an easy introduction to all functions.
Please note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
