, by the Biber Mania Team!
App Guide
How is the app used?
The GPS to Map app replaces the web interface and the display link with a user interface developed especially for mobile devices. Before the app can be configured for your own GPS device, the GPS device has to be set up and sending data to the GPS-to-Map server. How this works is described on the main page .
Essentially the app has two views. One view to set options and another one to work with the app and to display data. Depending on the program version, standard or professional, a different number of options is available. Switching from the standard version to the professional version is done directly in the app via a GPS-to-Map Pro subscription.
1. The Main Screen
On the main screen the current GPS position is displayed as usual.
With
you get to the route view - by default, however, no data is stored.
The GPS-to-Map Route View Service is a service of its own that can only be activated with a Pro subscription. It works like a diary where you can start and stop recording at any time. Here too all data stays completely anonymous and access is only possible with the password you have set! See also under Settings.
Tapping the date display opens a dialog where the time period can be changed.
If you want to open the diary in a web view, or allow others to access it, a link with the following format can be used:
https://gps-to-map.biber-mania.eu/{devicetype}route-{serialnumber}
Just give it a try with this link:

you get back to the position view or refresh the position display.
Tapping the
opens the settings dialog.

3. POIs (Points of Interest)
If you tap the marker of the current position in the position view, a dialog opens where you can define a POI:
Image: here a suitable image can be selected.
Set Privacy: here you can define who can see the POI (private = only you, public = everyone)
Comment: free text describing the POI or providing further information.
(you can also simply pin notes here and keep a kind of diary.)

If you tap a POI symbol the information about a POI can be retrieved and this POI can also be removed here again.
Public POIs of other users can of course not be deleted here and are visualised by a text overlay.
