Get Back Here is perfect for hikers and other outdoor enthusiasts to record their starting point before heading out and then be guided back to it later should they get lost. This is done without the need for any Internet or cell phone connection. Get Back Here uses the iPhones built-in GPS receiver and compass.

Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Simply press a button to save your location when you head out and put your iPhone away. You can even turn it off to save power. Later when you need to know the way back just choose your starting point and Get Back Here shows you a real-time compass that points directly back to where you started. It even shows the distance.

You can give your locations descriptive names such as "Campsite", "Cabin" or "Boat Dock" or whatever you want. Even enter locations you havent been to if you know the latitude and longitude.

Perfect for hikers, boaters, adventurers or anyone who needs to get back to where they started without needing an Internet connection.
