Nice studio you fixed up there. The monitor behind you on the right kept distracting me from what you was talking about though. It actually made me miss some of what you were showing on the apps and I had to rewind a couple of times. Do what you want and the monitor may not even be there anymore but I would at least not put it on a slide show. Thank you for the upload and app suggestions, they look pretty cool 🙃

[@davetaylor812]

Your results with run keeper same as mine, I grided a 50yd by 3yd strip and walked it across the narrow dimension, plot is all over the place. It is not accurate or fast enough to cope with rapid change of direction. By the time you have changed from e-w to w-e, you have changed back to w-e again so it draws a line from last known pint to current one , hence a mess. btw my android version of your 1st choice is "save location" you can save gps position with notes , then recall one or more and pull up a satellite view of the tags, ie if you notes say hammered you could just show all the hammered you found in that field

[@Sifinds]

Cool vid mate. Might use that first one for my Hovercraft trips

[@richardtarr2745]

Good choices Stephen although I have an android phone. I couldn't get the same geolocation app and runkeeper seemed to be the same sort of thing as Tect o Trak without the ability to record finds. Not that it matters, we all have our preferences. As a result I've got the St Johns app, the tide tables and what 3 words apps installed so a worthwhile informative video. Thank you for sharing 😀😀

Although I'm seeing plenty of magnifying glass apps available. I could tell that the one with the highest one (4.8) was reviews by either their own workers or people they know. Too many of the reviews were worded the same 😂 I'll keep looking because I really need that exact kind of app. 👍

Stephen some nice Aps there mate, I like the Geo location and the Runkeeper. I will be downloading those two. Thanks very much #coinhatgiveaway

[@delmarvalousdigging8235]

Hey Stephen , hoping you are well. I enjoyed the apps the Magnifier and RunKeeper are excellent tools foe shur. I want to recommend one of my favorite apps for importing old maps and using them to find old home sites that have been long since lost. It is MAPRIKA, originally designed for ski resorts, but easily adaptable to our hobby. You can take a picture of a Map in an atlas and bring that image into the app. Then using 2 or more anchor points then you can use your GPS to walk the Map of 1877 or the Map of 1942. Really useful App for finding old roads that have been abandoned in modern times or other landmarks, home sites , etc etc . Have a great weekend my friend and remember to smell the clovers! Take care and Happy hunting! #coinhatgiveaway

[@TheManWithTheHat]

I did look at Maprika and maybe I will do another video later. Would you mind helping me to share this video around please?

[@marydegenkolb9603]

Im going to try to see if any of these work on my MOTO phone. I don't usually have my data open all the time. But some of these will be good for when I find a spot to hunt, I can save it and then get the spot back at a later date. I like the walking one. I cycle and this will help me see my route and know where I am. I will pass this on to others that detect that I know. #coinringhatgiveaway
