About European Hiking Compass APK
Table Of Contents
Description
This is the app for everyone who likes hiking in Europe. Whether it's the Alps, the Carpathian Mountains, the Pyrenees or somewhere else. The app will show you name and distance (and sometimes altitude) for the most important hill and mountain tops in the terrain around you.When your device is flat you see a compass with arrows pointing towards the tops, and when it's held upright you see an augmented reality camera view. In camera view you can take photos, and the names of the tops and other places will be printed on the picture. The app can also display a map, where tops whitin a radius of approximately 60 km are marked. Swipe over the screen to swap between compass and map.
You can choose if you want arrows/markers for all available hills and mountains, or if you prefer mountains only. You can also choose to see other terrain formations like valleys and capes, waters and lakes, or other names like populated places.
The app uses offline data, which means that it will also work without an Internet connection. But there are a few exceptions: You need Internet connection if you want to download new maps. These will be temporary stored on your device, and consequently work partly offline later. You also need Internet connection the first time you are starting the app, so it can do a piracy check. A new check on this will be done at least every third month.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
