Find My Way Back Pro APPLICATION description

Find My Way Back Pro is an app to store locations and help you return to them. Your device needs to have both a GPS and a compass for this app to work.

The app provides a floating window containing a direction arrow and the distance to the destination, this window floats above other apps and the homescreen allowing your device to still be used for other things while finding your way back.

You can use it to remember where you parked your car, where your hotel is in a foreign town, where a shop or attraction is, whenever you need to find your way back to a location in an unfamiliar area. You can attach photographs taken using your device's camera to a location to help you find your way back.

There is an ad-supported free version of this app called Find My Way Back that is available from the Play Store, you can use it to verify that this app works well on your device prior to purchase.

Main Application Features:
* Floating direction window.
* Auto-rotating map (this can be disabled to reduce power consumption).
* Auto-following map (this can be disabled to reduce power consumption).
* Map can be turned off to reduce data and power consumption.
* Photographs can be saved with locations.
* Built in help can be viewed with no data connection.
* Metric or Imperial Unit selection.
* GPS fix accuracy clearly displayed when saving location and finding your way back.
* Configurable update frequency to change balance between GPS accuracy and power consumption.
* Share a google maps link to a saved location using SMS, email, etc.
* Google Navigation can be launched to navigate your way back to the saved location (Google Navigation does not work everywhere).
* This app can be moved to SD Card on devices that support it.
* Supports Samsung multiview on Samsung devices that have multiview (a reboot might be needed after installation to get the icon to appear in the multiview app list).

This app uses ActionBarSherlock by Jake Wharton to provide a holo-like UI on pre-honeycomb devices, many thanks Jake.

Find My Way Back is only as accurate as your device's compass and GPS. The device compass accuracy will be affected by nearby metallic objects. Accurate GPS fixes require a clear view of the sky.
