Lokate help
Lokate records your GPS tracks and ties them to your logs, so you can relive a training session or a search and study how it went. These guides walk through recording, your log forms and lists, moving data in and out, and keeping every assignment safe.
Recording
Logs & data
Build your own log forms and fill them in after each session.
Reports & Journal ›Quick Report, Quick Review and the Journal — read your logs back.
Predefined Lists ›Reusable lists — trail layers, evaluators, locations — behind your form fields.
Import & Export ›Bring tracks in from CalTopo or GPX, and send yours back out.
Archiving ›Every assignment kept as a zip in your own iCloud or Google Drive.
Device & setup
The map screen
Lokate’s primary job is to record and plot your position, so you can study your and your K9’s tracks later. It is also a live situational-awareness tool while you work.
Map orientation
The compass icon switches the map between three modes. These change only how the map behaves, never the GPS.

Terrain mapHeads-Up Display & 3D
The HUD shows compass direction, coordinates, speed and elevation; toggle each in Settings, and long-press a value to copy it. The vertical slider tilts the map from a flat 2D view into a 3D terrain view, so elevation changes read at a glance.
