The Astronomy tool can be used to see when the sun or moon is up. It can also be used to know when astronomical events are happening, such as a meteor shower or lunar eclipse.

With the exception of the time until sunrise or sunset (always today), all information shown on the page is for the selected date. By default, today is selected, but you can change it by tapping the calendar icon at the top of the screen. Additionally, you can use the arrows to move to the next/previous date or long press the calendar to quickly jump to today's date.

You can also click the search icon to find the next occurrence of an astronomical event at your location, such as the next full moon or meteor shower.

## Time Until Sunrise/Sunset

The time until sunrise or sunset is shown at the top of the screen. This respects the 'Sunrise/sunset times' in Settings > Astronomy. For a description of each time, see the Sun section below.

## Chart
The chart shows the position of the sun and moon throughout the day. The X-axis is time, and the Y-axis is the altitude or height in the sky. You can tap on the sun or moon icon in the chart to see its current position. When you do this, a slider will appear so you can see its position at a different time of the day.

You can also choose to keep the current time centered in the chart by enabling 'Keep sun/moon centered' in Settings > Astronomy. This will keep the current time centered in the chart when you have today selected and will show 12 hours before and after the current time. If you have a different date selected, it will show the entire day instead.

## Sun
All times related to the sun respect the 'Sunrise/sunset times' in Settings > Astronomy. For a description of each time, see below.

The time until sunrise or sunset is shown at the top of the screen.

The time of sunrise, sunset, and noon is shown below the chart, as well as the length of the day. If you tap this section, you will see more details about the sun for the current day:

- **Actual**: This is the actual time of sunrise, sunset, and noon. It is the time when the sun is at the horizon.
- **Civil**: This is the time of sunrise, sunset, and noon when the sun is between 0 and 6 degrees below the horizon. There is enough light to see objects clearly.
- **Nautical**: This is the time of sunrise, sunset, and noon when the sun is between 6 and 12 degrees below the horizon. The horizon is still visible, but it is too dark to see objects clearly.
- **Astronomical**: This is the time of sunrise, sunset, and noon when the sun is between 12 and 18 degrees below the horizon. It is completely dark, but it is perfect for stargazing.
- **Peak altitude**: This is the highest point the sun reaches in the sky. It is shown in degrees above the horizon.
- **Daylight**: This is the amount of time when the sun is up.
- **Night**: This is the amount of time when the sun is down.
- **Season**: This is the astronomical season based on the Earth's position around the sun. It will be one of the following: spring, summer, fall, or winter.
- **Altitude**: This is the current angle of the sun above the horizon. It is shown in degrees.
- **Direction**: This is the current direction the sun is in. It is shown in degrees.

## Moon
The time of moonrise, moonset, and lunar noon are shown below the chart, as well as the current moon phase and illumination percentage. If you tap this section, you will see more details about the moon for the current day:

- **Times**: This is the time of moonrise, moonset, and lunar noon.
- **Moon phase**: This is the current phase of the moon as it appears in the sky.
- **Illumination**: This is the percentage of the moon that is illuminated. A full moon is 100% illuminated, and a new moon is 0% illuminated.
- **Peak altitude**: This is the highest point the moon reaches in the sky. It is shown in degrees above the horizon.
- **Supermoon**: This is when the moon is closer to the Earth than normal, making it appear larger and brighter in the sky.

## Meteor Showers
If a meteor shower peak is happening on the selected date at your location, it will show in the list. It displays the start, peak, and end times of the shower, as well as the average number of meteors per hour. You can tap on the shower to see more details:

- **Times**: This is the start, peak, and end times of the shower.
- **Name**: This is the name of the shower.
- **Rate**: This is the average number of meteors per hour.
- **Peak altitude**: This is the highest point the radiant (area where the meteors appear to come from) reaches in the sky. It is shown in degrees above the horizon.
- **Peak direction**: This is the direction the radiant is in.

## Lunar Eclipses
If a lunar eclipse is happening on the selected date at your location, it will show in the list. It displays the start, peak, and end times of the eclipse, as well as how much of the moon is eclipsed. You can tap on the eclipse to see more details:

- **Times**: This is the start, peak, and end times of the eclipse.
- **Duration**: This is the duration of the eclipse.
- **Obscuration**: This is the percentage of the moon that is eclipsed.
- **Magnitude**: This is the magnitude of the eclipse. It is the fraction of the moon's diameter that is eclipsed.

## Units
The units can be adjusted in Settings > Units. By default, the units are set based on your device's language settings.

- **Distance**: The unit to display distance measurements.
- **Pressure**: The unit to display barometric pressure measurements.
- **Temperature**: The unit to display temperature measurements.
- **Weight**: The unit to display weight measurements.
- **Coordinate format**: The format to display geographic coordinates.
- **Location share map**: The link to use when sharing a location.
- **Use 24-hour format**: Whether to use a 24-hour clock.
- **Add leading zero to time**: Whether to add a leading zero to the time (for example, 01:00 instead of 1:00).

## Sensors > Compass
Compass settings can be found in Trail Sense Settings > Sensors > Compass. Some devices may not have a compass sensor, but you will still be able to set declination.

### Azimuth
The current compass direction (azimuth) is displayed at the top of the compass settings. As you change settings, it will update to show the new direction.

### Calibrate
The reported accuracy of the compass is shown. If it is low, you can click this option to view instructions on how to calibrate.

### Source
- **Magnetometer + Gyro**: This is the default source and should work on most devices. It uses the magnetometer and gyroscope sensors to determine the direction. When the gyroscope is added in, the reading is typically less noisy. This source is provided by your phone's manufacturer.
- **Magnetometer**: This source only uses the magnetometer sensor to determine the direction. This source is provided by your phone's manufacturer.
- **Magnetometer + Gyro (Custom)**: This source is similar to the Magnetometer + Gyro source, but the calculations are done by Trail Sense. If the Magnetometer + Gyro source is not working correctly, try this source.
- **Legacy (Trail Sense)**: This source is similar to the Magnetometer source, but the calculations are done by Trail Sense. If the Magnetometer source is not working correctly, try this source.
- **Legacy (Android)**: This source is provided by Android and is not recommended to use. It is only included for compatibility with older devices, but could potentially work well on some devices.

### Smoothing
To reduce noise in compass readings, you can increase the smoothing setting. If using a source that has a gyroscope, a value of 1 is recommended. Otherwise, experiment with increasing this value until the compass appears to be working correctly when you rotate your phone. However, if you increase the smoothing too much, Trail Sense may ignore real compass changes.

### True North
To display true north instead of magnetic north, enable the "True north" setting. This will adjust the compass reading to account for magnetic declination, and it will match most maps.

### Magnetic declination
Magnetic declination is the difference between magnetic north and true north. You should ensure this is correct regardless of whether you are using true north or magnetic north.

### Auto adjust declination
Enabling the "Auto adjust declination" setting will automatically adjust the declination based on your location.

### Declination override
If you would prefer to manually set the declination, you can disable the "Auto adjust declination" setting and use the "Declination override" setting to set the declination. You can find the declination for your location on most maps or online. You can also click the "Set override from GPS" option to set the declination based on your current location (only sets it once).

## Sensors > GPS
GPS settings can be found in Trail Sense Settings > Sensors > GPS. If your phone supports it, multiple GNSS systems will be used (such as GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou).

### Location Source
You can choose to mock your location by disabling the "Auto adjust location" setting. This will enable the "Location override" setting where you can manually set your location.

When "Auto adjust location" is enabled, the location will be determined by your device's GPS.

### Require satellite fix
To get a more accurate location, Trail Sense requires at least 4 satellites to have a fix. If you are having trouble getting a location, you can disable this setting to allow for a location with fewer satellites (or if your phone does not support satellite counts).

### Cache
Trail Sense automatically caches your last location to quickly load details in certain tools. You can clear this cache temporarily using the "Clear cache" option in the GPS settings.

## Sensors > Altimeter
The altimeter is used to measure altitude. To adjust altimeter settings, go to Trail Sense Settings > Sensors > Altimeter.

### Elevation
The current elevation is displayed at the top of the altimeter settings. As you change settings, it will update to show the new elevation.

### Source
- **GPS + Barometer**: This is the default source and should work on most devices with a barometer. It combines the GPS and barometer to determine the altitude.
- **GPS**: This source only uses the GPS to determine the altitude. It is less accurate than the GPS + Barometer source.
- **Barometer**: This source only uses the barometer to determine the altitude. It is more accurate than the GPS source, but may drift over time and you will need to calibrate it before use.
- **Manual**: This source allows you to manually set the altitude. This is useful if you know the altitude of your location and it will not change.

### GPS + Barometer settings
- **Force calibration interval**: You can choose to force the altimeter to recalibrate using the GPS every so often. This is useful to compensate for drift in the barometer, which may be due to changes in weather or location.
- **Continuous calibration**: You can choose to continuously calibrate the altimeter using the GPS. This is useful if you are moving around a lot and want the most accurate altitude reading. When this is enabled, it prefers the barometer reading, but will slightly adjust it based on the GPS reading.
- **Reset calibration**: You can choose to reset the calibration of the altimeter. This is useful if you are in a new location and want to recalibrate the barometer.

### GPS settings
- **Samples**: The number of GPS samples to use when determining the altitude. A higher number will give a more accurate reading, but will take longer to calculate.
- **NMEA elevation correction**: The elevation provided by the GPS needs to be corrected to match the actual elevation. If this setting is enabled, it will use the correction factor provided by the GPS. If it is disabled, it will use the correction factor provided by Trail Sense, which may be more accurate.

### Barometer / manual settings
- **Elevation override**: If you are using the barometer or manual source, you can set the elevation manually. This is useful if you know the elevation of your location. If using the barometer source, this setting is used to calibrate the barometer and will change as you move.
- **Set override from GPS**: You can choose to set the elevation override using the GPS if you don't know your current elevation (only sets it once).
- **Set override from barometer**: If you know the current sea level pressure for your location, you can set the elevation override using the barometer (only sets it once). Only available on devices with a barometer.

## Sensors > Barometer
The barometer is used to measure air pressure. It can be used to predict the weather or determine your altitude. To adjust barometer settings, go to Trail Sense Settings > Sensors > Barometer.

If you have the Weather Monitor (see the Weather tool) enabled, you will see a chart of the barometric pressure history as recorded by your device. The colored line represents the calibrated pressure while the gray line represents the raw pressure. When you adjust the settings, the chart will update to show the new calibrated pressure. The goal is to have the colored line smoothly follow the gray line.

### Sea level pressure
Barometric pressure changes with altitude, which makes it difficult to compare pressure readings from different locations. To make pressure readings more consistent, enable the "Sea level pressure" setting. This will adjust the pressure reading to what it would be at sea level. Using this setting will increase the accuracy of weather predictions.

### Smoothing
To reduce noise in pressure readings, increase the smoothing setting. A value of around 15% is recommended. However, if you increase the smoothing too much, Trail Sense may ignore real pressure changes.

### Factor in temperature
To get a more accurate pressure reading, you can factor in the temperature. This will make the reading more prone to noise from your phone's thermometer, but it will also give you a more accurate reading of the actual air pressure.

## Sensors > Thermometer
Thermometer settings can be found in Trail Sense Settings > Sensors > Thermometer.

### Source
On most phones, you should use the historic temperature source as it will be more accurate.

- **Historic** temperature is estimated from 30 years of historical data. It's usually accurate, but not during extreme weather. You can calibrate it if it's wrong for your location.
- **Sensor** temperature is read from the phone's built-in thermometer. It's often inaccurate because it's affected by the phone's CPU and battery. You can calibrate it to improve its accuracy. If you power off your phone for a while, you will get a more accurate reading from the sensor.

### Smoothing
To reduce noise in temperature readings, you can increase the smoothing setting. If using the historic temperature source, this is normally not needed.

If the Weather Monitor (see the Weather tool) is enabled, you will see a chart of the temperature history as recorded by your device. The colored line represents the calibrated temperature while the gray line represents the raw temperature. When you adjust the settings, the chart will update to show the new calibrated temperature. The goal is to have the colored line smoothly follow the gray line.

#### Updating recorded temperatures

If you change the temperature source to "Historic", you can choose to update all previously recorded temperatures. This will replace the old temperatures with the estimated temperature from the historic data. This is useful if you previously recorded temperatures with the sensor and then switched to historic temperatures.

### Calibrating

1. Reset the thermometer calibration in Trail Sense.
2. Put your phone in a cold place for 10 minutes.
3. Note the temperature shown in Trail Sense as the minimum phone temperature.
4. Note the actual temperature of the cold place using an actual thermometer.
5. Put your phone in a warm place for 10 minutes.
6. Note the temperature shown in Trail Sense as the maximum phone temperature.
7. Note the actual temperature of the warm place using an actual thermometer.
8. Go to the Thermometer sensor settings in Trail Sense and enter the minimum and maximum temperatures you recorded, along with the actual temperatures you recorded.

**Caution:** Refer to your phone's manual to identify the designed operating temperatures, do not exceed these when performing calibration.

## Sensors > Camera
Camera settings can be found in Trail Sense Settings > Sensors > Camera.

### Augmented reality projection
The projection method determines how points get displayed onto the camera view. If you are experiencing issues with the points not aligning with the real world, try changing the projection method.

- **Estimated Intrinsics**: This is the default method and should work on most devices. It uses the camera's properties to estimate the projection.
- **Manual Intrinsics**: This is similar to the estimated intrinsics method, except that the calculations are done by the manufacturer. On some devices this does not work correctly.
- **Perspective**: This is a simple projection method that factors in the distance of the point from the camera. It is similar to intrinsics, but may be less accurate in some cases.
- **Linear**: This is the simplest projection method (also the fastest). It does not factor in distances.

## Sensors > Cell signal
Cell signal settings can be found in Trail Sense Settings > Sensors > Cell signal.

### Refresh signal cache
Your phone reports the current cell signal strength, but it may be outdated. You can choose to forcefully refresh the cell signal cache to get the current signal strength. This feature is only used by the Paths tool (Backtrack) when Settings > Paths > Record cell signal is enabled.

## Privacy
Privacy settings can be adjusted in Settings > Privacy.

- **Location**: Clicking this will take you to the GPS settings, where you can choose to use a mocked location.
- **Prevent screenshots**: Prevents screenshots from being taken while the app is open.

**Note**: Trail Sense does not use the Internet and all data is stored locally on your device.

## Errors
Some tools such as Navigation and Astronomy display error banners at the top of the screen. These banners can be disabled in Settings > Errors.

- **Compass unavailable**: The compass is not available on your device.
- **GPS unavailable**: The GPS is not available on your device.
- **Location not set**: The location is mocked but has not been set (uses 0, 0).
- **Compass accuracy**: The compass accuracy is low.
- **GPS timeouts**: The GPS has timed out and was unable to determine your location.

## Experimental
Experimental features can be enabled in Settings > Experimental. These features are not ready for general use and may not work as expected.

## Backup / Restore
When switching to a new device or reinstalling the app, it may be helpful to backup your data and settings. This can be done in Settings > Backup / Restore.

- **Backup**: Creates a backup of your data and settings. This will save as a zip file which is unencrypted and contains location data, so only send it to people you trust.
- **Restore**: Restores a backup of your data and settings. This will permanently overwrite your current data and settings. You can restore from an older version of the app, but cannot restore from a newer version.

## Tools
Settings for each tool can be adjusted in the Settings > Tools section. For more information, see the guide for each tool.

The Metal Detector tool allows you to detect magnetic metals like iron. It's useful for finding dropped keys or knives. It cannot detect coins or jewelry.

## Calibration
Calibrating the metal detector improves the accuracy of readings. To calibrate:

1. Hold your phone 2-3 inches (5-8 cm) above the ground with the screen facing up.
2. Press 'Calibrate'.
3. Recalibrate occasionally for accuracy.

The detector automatically calibrates when started.

## Detecting Metal
The detector only finds magnetic metals like iron. To detect metal:

1. After calibrating, hold your phone 2-3 inches (5-8 cm) above the area to scan with the screen facing up.
2. Slowly move your phone, keeping the distance and orientation consistent.
3. When metal is detected, the phone will vibrate and indicate detection.

## Understanding Readings
The graph shows magnetic field strength over time. Metal causes spikes up or down. If spikes occur that don't trigger the metal detector, lower the threshold to increase sensitivity.

Readings at the top of the screen show field strength in microteslas (uT).

## Threshold
Lower threshold values increase sensitivity. Higher values decrease it. Adjust with the on-screen slider.

## High Sensitivity Mode
This removes noise filtering for maximum sensitivity. The graph becomes noisier and false positives occur more frequently. Enable with the 'High sensitivity' switch.

## Audio Feedback
Tapping the speaker icon in the top-right corner enables audio feedback. A tone will play when metal is detected, and the volume increases with field strength.

## Metal Direction (Experimental)
This experimental feature attempts to indicate metal direction with two on-screen dots. One points towards the metal and the other away from it. Unfortunately, it's uncertain which is which. Move your phone towards one dot; if the number in the center increases, you are getting closer. If the dots swap, it likely means you just passed over the metal. This requires a gyroscope sensor.

Enable it on Settings > Experimental > Show metal direction.

The Augmented Reality tool lets you see beacons and the paths of the sun and moon overlaid onto the real world.

## Camera
If you have camera permission granted, you will see a live camera feed in the background. If you do not have camera permission granted, you will see a black background instead.

You can toggle the camera on and off by tapping the camera icon in the top-right corner of the screen.

Additionally, while the camera is active, you can adjust the zoom level using two fingers to pinch or the slider at the bottom of the screen.

## Reticle
A circular reticle is displayed in the center of your screen. You can use this to see more details about the marker you are looking at by centering it in the reticle.

## Beacons
Nearby beacons are displayed as markers on the screen. You can tap on a beacon to start navigation (See the Navigation section below). The view distance can be adjusted in Settings > Augmented Reality > Beacons > "View distance".

## Paths
Nearby paths are displayed below your feet. Due to GPS inaccuracy, the paths may not be perfectly aligned with the real world. The view distance can be adjusted in Settings > Augmented Reality > Paths > "View distance"

You can choose to adjust paths using their recorded elevation by enabling Settings > Augmented Reality > "Use path elevation". This should make the paths line up better with hills and valleys, but is dependent on the accuracy of the elevation data.

## Sun / Moon
The paths that the sun and moon will take today are displayed as markers on the screen. The sun's path is displayed in yellow and the moon's path is displayed in white. A larger marker is displayed at the current time, and will also show the moon phase. Times in the past are lighter.

If you bring the sun or moon into the reticle, you will see more details about the marker such as the time.

If you tapped the "View in 3D" button on the Astronomy tool, you can use the guide to see where the sun or moon currently is and change the previewed date in the bottom panel.

## Grid / Compass
A grid is displayed on the screen to help orient you. The grid is aligned with the cardinal directions and is spaced at 30 degrees. The grid line for North is highlighted in orange. The cardinal directions are displayed over the grid.

## Orientation
The orientation of your device is displayed at the top of the screen. This includes the compass bearing and the tilt angle. The Augmented Reality tool respects the True North setting found on Settings > Sensors > Compass > True North.

## Navigation
Tap on a beacon to navigate to it.

While navigating, you will see an arrow around the reticle pointing in the direction of the beacon. Move your phone toward the arrow to bring the beacon into view. When the beacon is in the reticle, the arrow will disappear.

## Calibration
If the Augmented Reality tool is not aligned with the real world, you can calibrate it by tapping the compass icon in the top-left corner of the screen. This will prompt you to center either the sun or moon in the reticle and click "Calibrate".

Always check the accuracy against the sun, moon, or known landmarks before using this tool. Depending on the quality of your phone's sensors, you may need to repeat calibration frequently.

You will not be able to calibration on a moonless night.

If your device has a gyroscope, calibrating will switch the tool to use the gyroscope for orientation. You can disable this in Settings > Augmented Reality > "Use gyroscope after calibration".

To reset the calibration, long press the compass icon or close and reopen the tool.

### Accuracy
The accuracy of the compass and GPS are shown in the bottom-left of the screen. You can tap the status icons to see more details about the accuracy and for further instructions on calibrating your compass.

## Sensors
The Augmented Reality tool respects the compass source in Settings > Sensors > Compass > Source. If your device does not have a gyroscope, the tool will still work but will not be as accurate and may jitter.

## Layers
You can toggle the visibility of the Beacons, Paths, Astronomy, and Grid layers by clicking the layer icon in the top-left corner of the screen or by changing the "Visible" setting in Settings > Augmented Reality.

The preview date for the Astronomy layer can be adjusted in the layers menu on the Augmented Reality tool.
