The most accurate and reliable solution for the iPad, MotionX-GPS HD embeds the functionality of an advanced handheld GPS unit into a simple and intuitive iPad application. Use MotionX-GPS HD with your iPad during outdoor activities such as hiking, sailing, off-roading, flying, geocaching, or exploring new places. MotionX-GPS HD is exclusively designed and optimized for the iPad. While the WiFi iPad does not contain a GPS chipset, many of the features are still useful in WiFi mode.
Info: Access the in-app help file from any page.
iPod/lock: Access iPod controls from any page; the control panel slides up and down in when this button is touched. The screen lock is also found in this control panel.
Search: Perform a search to find the geocoded location, including:
•
Country name (e.g. “Italy”)
•
Landmark (e.g. “Mount Everest”)
•
Address
•
Lat / Lon
GPS signal indicator.
Touch to toggle modes.
GPS: Outdoor GPS mode (3G iPad only). Accuracy 30-300 feet.
Wifi: Approximate position using Wifi or network triangulation. Accuracy 100 feet to 3 miles.
Manual: Offline mode; not searching for signal. Manually enter your position, no real-time location information.
GPS home: Quickly access the Map screen from any page.
GPS requires a direct “line-of-sight” to communicate with satellites. Your 3G iPad must have a clear view of the sky to locate at least three satellites in order to give accurate position information. If you are indoors, in a wooded area, surrounded by buildings, or in the back seat of your car, for example, you may be unable to acquire an accurate GPS signal.
Menu: Return to the
main menu from any page.

Gradient: Current gradient (based on change in altitude).
Avg Speed: Average speed or pace; select units preference in Settings.
Ascent Descent: Total ascent / descent over the course of your track (based on changes in altitude).
Max Speed: Maximum speed achieved over the course of your track.

Track Types
A solid blue line traces your path when a GPS signal is active. When using WiFi mode, a solid blue line plots a path between WiFi access points.
A dotted blue line represents an interpolated path between two points when signal has been lost.
A solid red line represents your path while recording a track with the Track Recorder. Use the "Start Track", "Pause Track" and "Save Track" controls on the MotionX-Track Recorder page to record and save your track.
A dotted red line represents an interpolated path between two points when signal has been lost.
A dashed green line from the arrow indicates the path to the waypoint you have chosen as your destination using the Start Nav button.
A solid orange line represents a previously recorded track that is being followed. A green start flag indicates the start of the track and a checkered end flag indicates the end.

Leveraging the iPad’s built-in magnetometer, the MotionX compass shows such information as heading, SOG (speed over ground), VMG (velocity made good), distance, bearing, and time to waypoint, and ETA during active navigation. Mark waypoints and start/stop navigation with a single touch.
SOG: Speed over ground. The speed at which you are moving over the surface of the earth.
Direction: Current direction of travel; True North (T) or Magnetic (M).
Wypt Dist: Distance remaining to your waypoint.
Mark Wypt: Create a waypoint at your current position.
Time to Wypt: Estimated time remaining until you arrive at your waypoint.
VMG: Velocity made good. Effective speed at which you are approaching your waypoint.
Blue arrow: Indicates the bearing to your destination.
Nav button: Start or stop navigating to a waypoint.
ETA: Estimated time you will arrive at your destination.
For the satellite-based compass (GPS mode) to provide an accurate heading, you should be outdoors with a clear view of the sky and moving at least a few mph or km/h.
The magnetometer in the 3G iPad is susceptible to magnetic interference from electronics and ferrous metals. If an accurate direction cannot be achieved due to interference, you will be instructed to move away from the interference and re-calibrate the magnetometer by moving your iPad in a figure 8 pattern.
