OMN Help
Platform Specific

iOS

OMN4 on iPhone and iPad is aimed at taking your maps and routes into the field.

What Stands Out On iOS

  • The app stays focused on a single main map workflow rather than lots of separate windows.
  • GPS, live position, and tracklogs are central mobile features.
  • Data usage controls for streaming and downloads live under Settings > Data.

iOS Tips

  • Allow location access when you first turn GPS on, otherwise OMN4 cannot show your position.
  • If you are downloading a large amount of mapping, keep OMN4 open until the downloads are clearly settled.
  • If you rely on offline use, test your maps before leaving signal behind.

When iOS Feels Different From Desktop

  • Printing is not the main workflow on iOS.
  • Some tasks that use extra windows on desktop are presented as pages on mobile.
  • Downloads and background behavior are more tightly controlled by the operating system.
