Get ready for some fantastic updates to your HiiKER app! Say hello to Points of Interest (POIs) and super handy Quick Actions!
First things first, we’ve tidied up the map view by moving all map functions to the Options button. This means a cleaner screen and easier viewing of all your favorite HiiKER maps. But what about quickly adding Waypoints, you ask? That’s where our brilliant new Quick Actions come in! Check it out later in this article.
Explore the World with Global Points of Interest (POIs): Now, on any HiiKER map, you can unlock a world of useful points tailored just for hikers and outdoor adventures. We’ve pinpointed essential locations in key hiking areas globally, focusing on three key needs:
- Need a Break? Find Rest: Discover campsites, shelters, cozy hostels, and even hotels/B&Bs for that well-deserved comfort after a long trek.
- Time to Refuel? Find Refill: Easily locate shops, grocery stores, pharmacies, and healthcare to keep your energy levels up! Plus, find known water refill spots in more remote areas (always purify and check for drought conditions!).
- Ready for Adventure? Find Recreation: Enhance your hikes with historical landmarks, peaks waiting to be conquered, inviting coffee shops, convenient transport links, and breathtaking viewpoints perfect for sharing those epic moments!
Your HiiKER, Your Way with Quick Actions: We know everyone uses HiiKER differently. That’s why we’ve introduced Quick Actions! Now you can assign your go-to features to a dedicated button for lightning-fast access. Imagine instantly adding waypoints with a single tap, seamlessly switching between your favorite maps, or toggling 3D view on and off – it’s all possible with Quick Actions!
