    Default Guthooks: Why can't you search for a specific shelter/peak/waypoint?

    Am I blind? It seems like a great feature to have but I don't see it anywhere.

    I have been in touch with Ryan about another issue. I'll ping him and see if he's able to pop into this thread and answer the question.

    Works well. Tells you how far you have to go.

    I've got the android app for PCT and TRT. Both work the same; You can click the button in the middle at the top, called GUIDE, to get to the waypoints. A problem I've found is that it doesn't show all the waypoints. But, it works great for those that it does have. it shows how far you are from the waypoint, and you can show the waypoint on the map or profile. Also, there are pics and additional information about many of these waypoints.

    I have the AT Android version. At the top there are three menu options, Map, Guild & Elevation. Pick Guide and there's the Search option that will find all entries that meet the search criteria (Shelters, Peaks, Waypoints, etc).

    If your trail map has sections make sure you have the correct section selected for the corresponding Shelter/Peak/etc

    I am here! Joe, how did you try to reach us before?

    As a few folks have mentioned here already, yes, the search bar in the iPhone app is at the top of any waypoint list (in the "List" tab). In Android, it's the "Search" button at the top of the "Guide" tab.

    I didn't, because I couldn't find any contact info anywhere. I love the app BTW and anyone would be NUTS to not have it loaded on their device. Put your phone in airplane mode, and its all you need.

    Actually, I do recall discussing with support asking if the route is kept up to date with reroutes, etc since I am section hiking and wondering if I needed to repurchase it yearly. I bought the whole AT package after being told it was a one time purchase that would be kept up to date with updates to the app. I only need it for about the next 25 years.

    Me either. Unless you pull down, it stays hidden. Glad to know the feature is (has always been) there!

    support [at] atlasguides.com

    It's listed under "Contact" on their website.

    I've used their support before and was pleased with how fast my issue was resolved.
    Remote for detachment, narrow for chosen company, winding for leisure, lonely for contemplation, the Trail beckons not merely north and south, but upward to the body, mind, and soul of man.

    I sure hope the app will still be around in 25 years, even if I'm not the one taking care of it then ;-) You heard right, though. It's a one time purchase and all updates come with that purchase. They update automatically. I will say that we have toyed with the idea of switching to an annual subscription, but there's no timeline for that yet, and the only solid details we've settled on are that if we DO end up switching to that, we'd grant lifetime subscriptions to everyone who had already bought the apps with the one-time purchases previously.

    You know, I did that because it's part of Apple's "best practices and guidelines" to keep the search bar initially hidden-- it's the same with their standard apps like Mail, Podcasts, Pages, Numbers, Notes, and a bunch of others. But I guess it's not something that is entirely required. Maybe, as with my socks, it's time for a change?
