The complete guide to the Dig Here mobile app for iOS and Android.
My Pins is the home screen - a distance-sorted list of your saved pins and routes. Open the menu (top right) to move between screens.

Open the menu and tap Sign in, then enter a 6-digit app code from dighere.com.au > My Profile > Get app code. Linking pulls your pins and routes onto the phone and keeps them in sync. You can use the app without linking, but syncing to the website needs a linked account.

Open the menu and go to Account & about > *On launch, start on* > choose My Pins or Map. The app opens on your choice.
Open the map from the menu. The map is the core of the app - everything you need to explore, plan and navigate.

Tapping a marker opens a detail popup with the name, type, coordinates and key facts. From there you can tap Navigate here for compass guidance, or Full details for the full record (notes and photos on your own pins).

Open a pin from My Pins or by tapping it on the map. You can add typed notes and photos to your own pins. Notes use last-write-wins; photos are merged across devices. Everything you add is stored locally and syncs to your website account.

Open Track from the menu. Records your walk as a GPS trail and lets you drop typed pins as you go. Recording continues with the screen locked, so nothing is missed.

Open 3D terrain from the menu. See the ground in 3D before you head out.

Open Save map offline from the menu (or use the download control on the map). This downloads the base map, terrain and data layers for the current map view so everything keeps working when the signal drops. Saved areas appear under the Offline areas layer.

Open Sync from the menu. This pushes any pins you created offline, then pulls the latest pins and routes (and reconciles notes and photos) from your website account. Sync runs automatically when you open the app and after you sign in.
