I’m new to the Mini 2 and Explore App, but I’ve been using Delorme and Garmin handhelds since the PN-20, so I have been pretty comfortable with the technology and software. Until now! I’m switching over from the Inreach Explorer+ and the Earthmate App, and I’m having some challenges adapting to the Explore App. I have searched elsewhere for answers, but realized that I should have started here on this forum.
1) On a recent backcountry XC day trip, the track line showed up on my iPhone 12, but the location arrow stayed way back near my starting point. I don’t send tracking points because I’m on the safety plan, but I assume that shouldn’t affect the location arrow. I have location set to “while using.” The location arrow did show up on Gaia GPS which I usually run at the same time for comparison. And it always showed up on The Earthmate App. Any suggestions?
2) I was having trouble saving my track at the end of the day until I discovered that The Explore App had recorded the wrong date and time for the trip. My phone is set to automatically display time, date, and time zone. My Mini 2 displays the correct time and is set to automatic time zones, but I don’t see a date display. I’m confused as to why the time and date stamps were incorrect.
I hope someone can help solve my confusion! Thanks in advance.
