Before you leave

There are a few things you need to prepare before heading out on a profiling trip. We have created a handy Field Guide for you to take with you when profiling.

The best adventures take a little planning.

Before you go Checklist

2. Pack extra clothes, water & snacks
3. Bring a tape measure or measuring stick (800mm)
4. Print & pack location / track maps
5. Check phone is 100% charged (bring a power bank if needed)
6. Open & test App
7. Message supervisor that you’re going
8. Pack the Field Guide!

On Arrival

Review your Map

Double check the proposed track or tracks. Are there any specific areas that you need to cover? Are there any alternative entry / exits you should allow time for?

Test GPS & connectivity

Start a test track on the App, stop and save. Review the GPS accuracy. If you’re outside mobile data coverage, switch wifi and mobile data off in your phone settings.

Focus your attention

The start of a track is often the most complex. Take your time to record the carpark, entry and exit, signage and other facilities.
