HuntFix, the lost-shot waypoint
An iPhone tool that turns a visible animal, a compass bearing, an elevation angle, and a rangefinder reading into a navigable GPS waypoint.
Field notes
HuntFix combines the phone’s position, heading, and elevation angle with a manually entered laser-rangefinder distance to estimate a target point. The interface is organized around Point → Lock → Range → Mark → Go, with a custom keypad and metres-or-yards input. Its stated operating conditions are unusually concrete: no reception, no account, and a phone carried through valleys, creeks, and steep faces. The maker frames the product around South Island hunting terrain and lists several animals found on public land.
