About Ham Fox Hunt Helper
Find the fox faster. This field-ready toolkit for amateur radio fox hunting (T-hunting/ARDF) lets you take quick bearings with a compass, plot them on a live map, and see where lines converge—so you can zero in with confidence, even off-grid. Why you’ll love it Map + Compass, together: Take a bearing and drop it at your current location in one tap. Save & color-code bearings: Organize multiple readings and visualize likely intersections at a glance. Switch map sources: Instantly toggle between USGS Topo, OpenStreetMap, and Apple Maps to match the terrain. Offline capable: Enable map caching before you head out, then keep navigating when signal fades. Made for night ops: Dark Mode preserves night vision and reduces glare. How it works Aim your directional antenna, use the compass to set a bearing, and add it to the map. Repeat from new locations; color-code readings to keep track of legs. Use the map layer that best fits your area (topo, OSM, or Apple Maps) and follow the convergence. Perfect for club hunts, training, and weekend T-hunting adventures—whether you’re sweeping city streets or hiking in the hills. Note: Always follow local laws and event rules. Continued use of GPS can impact battery life.
