ヤマレコ　山登りがもっと楽しくなる登山アプリ 7.28

YamaReco is a notable application designed for mountaineering and outdoor GPS navigation. By pre-downloading maps, routes, and geographical names of the planned climbing areas, users can utilize GPS functionality to pinpoint their location even in remote mountains where mobile signals are absent. This service enhances the safety and enjoyment of your climbing experience.

Features:

1. Offline Use of Climbing Maps: Users can save maps from the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan on their smartphones. This allows for GPS location tracking and map display in areas without internet connectivity. Furthermore, YamaReco overlays 'Everyone's Footprints,' making it easy to see the most frequented trails.
2. Route and Map Downloads: In addition to downloading climbing maps for specific areas, users can download both routes and maps together. Planned routes can be downloaded freely from personal climbing plans, others' records, or GPX files.
3. Climbing Plan Creation: Users can easily create climbing plans by tapping waypoints on the map. There is an option for manual entry, allowing for non-traditional routes like river climbing.
4. Tracking Climbing Trails: The application allows users to record their GPS trails during climbs. It operates effectively in airplane mode or outside mobile coverage as long as there is a clear view of the sky.
5. Location Sharing with Family: Users can periodically share their location through GPS logging, which can be accessed by family members via the “Ima Koko” app, ensuring loved ones are aware of their whereabouts.
6. Voice Notifications for Route Deviations: If users stray from their planned route, the app will notify them via voice alerts. Additionally, users can opt into a feature that announces current time and elevation periodically during climbs.
7. Easy Creation of Climb Records: Users can create climbing records using GPS logs and photos taken during their trips. There are options to export these logs or post directly to YamaReco.
8. Current Mountain Conditions: Accessing other climbers' records allows users to verify current conditions on selected mountains, and maps can be downloaded ahead of time for future expeditions.
9. Apple Watch Compatibility: The app provides offline map access for Apple Watch users, displaying footprints and planned routes similar to the iOS app. Integration with Health app enables monitoring of vital statistics like heart rate during climbs.
10. Mountain Weather Forecasts: Users can check weather forecasts from "YamaTen," a mountain-specific weather service. Information remains accessible offline after initial retrieval; however, this requires a membership or plan purchase.

Cautionary Notes:

• The GPS functionality may drain battery life more rapidly than other applications due to continued background operation.
• Always carry a physical map and compass, as well as spare batteries and power cables when hiking.
• The limit on downloadable maps is one for guests and two when logged in, with no monthly download limits. Clearing unnecessary cached data post-expedition allows for fresh downloads.
• The 'Everyone's Footprints' feature displays actual trails but may include variations that could be impassable depending on the season or trail conditions. Always gather updated information through YamaReco's website or local authorities when planning hikes.
• In areas with no coverage, there may be delays in sending location data to YamaReco's servers until internet access is regained.

A user registration with YamaReco is required for utilizing this application, which also tracks distances and calories burnt during hikes and syncs heart rate data via Apple’s Health app.
