Hiker is designed for walking, hiking or scrambling outdoors. The app captures the hike data using the standard Garmin activities which can be uploaded via Garmin Connect. The activity is classed as a hike. 

There is one main screen showing clock, timer, and four customisable data fields; distance, steps, ascent, current heading, heart rate, altitude and pace. If a compass is present in the watch then the heading will display the current heading, otherwise it will display the direction of travel from the GPS trace.

Following this there are a number of graph screens logging elevation, pressure, temperature (Using the Garmin Tempe temperature sensor) and heart rate. These screens give a history over the last 4 hours. The heart rate and elevation graphs are updated every 2 minutes and the pressure and temperature graphs are updated every 4 minutes. Various statistics are shown below each graph.

The last screen displays a trail as representation of the path walked. A data point is logged every 2 minutes when there's a good GPS signal. The start is represented by a green square and the current position is a red cross. Below the trail is the last known good position in degrees, minutes and seconds.

On starting the app it will wait for a good GPS signal which can be bypassed. Use left and right swipes or the up and down buttons to move through the screens. Activities can be paused using the start/stop button. If you forget to resume the activity after a number of steps you will be asked if you wish to resume the hike. 

DISCLAIMER: While Hiker provides a number of navigation aids, these should not be used as your primary source of navigation. I cannot be held responsible for incorrect readings that affect your navigation during your hike. I hope you enjoy using Hiker but please use it at your own risk.
