Offline use

GPS needs no cell signal or internet. Position, grid, compass, waypoints, routes, track recording, alarms and tools all work in airplane mode. For maps, download the area beforehand.

Example: the vector map, terrain data and peaks for a mountain area of about 19 × 8.5 km take roughly 9 MB in total. Apple does not make offline Apple Maps downloads available to third-party apps, so Highcamp uses its own vector packs and MBTiles files for offline maps.
