We just launched an updated iOS app version (v1.3.0) that incorporates all of the new Natural Atlas features described here and improves the overall experience. You can
read a full list of updates and download the latest version here
.
Android User? We’re working on an Android version for late Fall release.
Place Overlays
Spotting your selected feature on the map is now much easier with highlighted place overlays. Click a named trail, river, lake, park, or other features to see its highlight or boundary.
Trail Associations
Trails typically guide you to or near a specific feature and connect to one another. We’ve brought this reality to life on our platform by leveraging its spatial foundation, connecting trails to one another and linking features to relevant trails.
For an example, start by opening the
Devils Postpile Trailhead
. Scroll to
Trails From Trailhead
and click the
Devils Postpile Boundary Trail
. Once on that trail’s page, scroll to see
Connects To
for its connecting trails.
These associations also power new search capabilities, like
"campsites on the pct"
.
Other Associations
While trail associations are automatic, remember that anyone can edit Natural Atlas Place Pages. If you know of another relevant association type – an overlook for a specific place, for example – you can reference other features from a page too! An example:
Sun Point Overlook
in Mesa Verde.
Elevation Profiles
You can now view trip elevation profiles under the app’s Stats section or on its page after completion. In the app, tap the graph for more context about time and speed as well. Trips with multiple activity types are colored to match the various traces on the map.
Pause Trip Recordings
Need to stop recording for any reason, but want to resume the same trip later? We’ve now got you covered! Click the pause button on the trip recording screen and resume anytime. Gaps may show between traces, but it will be saved as a single trip.
Changing Activity Type
This isn’t a new feature, but did you know you can also simply change activity type in the middle of a recording? This can be an alternative to pausing. Tap the circular, animated button showing your current activity type to choose a new one.
External Links
While anyone can edit Natural Atlas Place Pages and utilize
Heading
or
Text
as they see fit, we’ve also added the
External Links
section to make linking to additional content easy.
Any link can be pasted here, but note that anything not on the supported domain list below will be counted as its
only Official Website.
These domains are parsed automatically:
Wikipedia, Instagram, Twitter, Flickr, Facebook, YouTube, Vimeo, and National Register of Historic Places
