Notes
When keeping a GPS log, the GPS function is used continuously in the background, which may drain the battery faster than apps that do not use GPS.
Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
Please be sure to bring a paper map, compass, spare batteries, and power cable with you when climbing mountains.
To use some of the functions of this application, you will need to register as a user with YamaReco.
