SOTA Ham ,

Ham radio use

Summits On The Air (SOTA) is a ham radio activity involving portable operation from the top of high hills and mountains. I have found this app to be a really useful tool. I enter in the lat/long of the summit and then I use the compass bearing as I hike to the top. The line of sight distance isvery helpful too.
This is a wonderful app. The developer(s) have done a great job. The various target location entry methods are very comprehensive.
Take the time to read all of the instructions and if you are after a GPS bearing indicator for your iPhone, this is the app you need.

Simple and very, very effective. Great for finding sites in woodland.
