【實用旅遊app】Pointer|最夯免費app-綠色工廠好玩App

Press the button in the Pointer application to remember your current location and it will show you how to get back to that location later. This application can work without an internet connection, which allows for use in areas where mobile data connections are not available. Pointer will help you not get lost somewhere in the forest or a foreign town. Just look at the arrow showing the direction and make sure you are walking in that direction. This application can identify possible errors that you’ve made as well, helping to orientate you correctly.

It uses algorithm, which helps to save battery energy by shutting down GPS and using only location gotten from network provider if accuracy is acceptable.

In the full version of Pointer, you can also store more than one location and check desired points on the map. This really helps in situations when you’re travelling and want to mark points of interest on the map. Usually, this is done in hotels or other places where wireless connections are available. You will always know your way to checked points of interest and back to your hotel without any additional costs (pointing direction works in offline mode).
