Features & Capabilities

Handy GPS is an outdoor navigation app for hiking, bushwalking, tramping, mountain biking, kayaking, boating, horse riding, geocaching, surveying, mining, archaeology, and forestry. It works without network connectivity, making it suitable for remote areas, and requires an annual subscription for full functionality.

Track your route, save unlimited waypoints, navigate to destinations with distance and direction guidance, and view coordinates, altitude, speed, compass readings, and satellite data. The app supports UTM, MGRS, latitude/longitude, WGS84, and numerous international datums and grid systems. Import and export GPX, KML, and CSV files, use offline maps, calculate distances, areas, elevation changes, and sunrise or sunset times, and share locations by message or web link. You can also attach geotagged photos and voice memos to your outdoor activities.

I've had the app for a while. I got a new phone and transferred my apps. Handy gps wouldn't continue to record when the phone was turned off so I un-installed the re-installed now I can't get my account back. How do I get my account back?
