Makradar Technologies / / December 19, 2019
Residents of big cities, where built more than a dozen shopping malls the size of Titanic, know how it is sometimes difficult to find in them something really useful for themselves and simply go back to the shop, which looked after a certain product. Hike in such a center for many can turn an ordinary plutaniya between dozens of boutiques with clothes in search of banal shirt. This I do not say more about the underground parking of several floors - leaving behind the car and stepping "in the town red" for two or three hours, there is a risk to spend another three after shopping in search of his vehicle. Once again, when faced with the last problem, I realized that I need to change something, and got in the AppStore in the search for a solution that would help me in the decision. Fortunately, it is found quickly. Anchor Pointer - application that allows you to put an "anchor" in the place where you plan to return.
Appendix done quite minimalist - just a few buttons and a few options, but it is enough to perform the tasks entrusted to it. On the main screen has four icons, each of which serves, in effect, one task: to search for specific GPS-coordinates.
With the "Add anchor" we put the label, which give the name and assigns the appropriate icon. The app remembers the coordinates, and we are going about their business. Later, when we want to come back to this place, you will simply select from a list of the required anchor and follow the direction of the compass that will lead us on the marked space.
Such anchors easily installed to any certain places: a useful shop in a shopping center, a beautiful sculpture in a huge park, and the like. Built-in Compass app shows not only the direction but also the height, which is convenient in hilly terrain park area or multi-storey shopping center.
To find your car in the parking lot, a separate anchor: stopped, parked the car, press on the home screen icon "Park your car" and left. Icon will change its name to "Find Your Car", so later when you need to go back to the car, you will need to click on it to get back to the car. This is quite convenient - just a single tap to put similar anchored to not add the new coordinates every time and do not spend time on it.
Another useful feature - search for friends. If your friend is set Anchor Pointer, you can easily meet each other in unfamiliar terrain. Select the corresponding icon on the main screen and follow the direction of the arrow. Both you and your friend will indicate the direction of movement and the distance to be traveled to the venue.
In general, the work application leaves a pleasant impression. It works quickly, indicating the direction right. All declared fulfills opportunities to the full. The only thing you can complain - it's accuracy. distance error can be up to 3-5 meters, but it has limitations it is GPS, but not Anchor Pointer. Nevertheless, the task of finding your car, friends, and favorite shop will be done in such conditions, yet off the display of the smartphone and look around, too, sometimes it is useful :)
