This list is populated with questions that we think you will have. Over time, we will add to the list based on questions that we receive. One note before we get started. This application is all about having fun. Don't take it too seriously!
Why is the number of miles different from [Your App Here]?
If you have never written a GPS-based application, it is not as easy as it sounds. There is an error value returned with the longitude and latitude values. We worked hard to handle these errors and generate an accurate measurement of distance. We compared it to All Trails. We think it is good enough.

Why is the elevation gained different from [Your App Here]?
If you have never written a GPS-based application, it is not as easy as it sounds. This is true for distance. It is even more true for elevation. The accuracy of GPS for elevation is poor. Other applications will download maps and use the longitude and latitude to find the location on the map, where they can get the elevation. We do not load maps. As a result, we use the barometer to help determine elevation gain and loss. We compared our results to All Trails. We think it is good enough.

My Favorite Beer Is Missing From The Beer List
We created a good list of available beers as part of the BeerHiker. We update it frequently. If your favorite beer is missing, go ahead and add it using the "Add Beer" feature in the beer selection list. When you do, it will always show up for you on your list. We review these additions and, at times, make some available to everyone.
Have fun with this feature. You can add a real beer or one that you make up. Select a real color or one just for fun. Remember, this application is all about having fun!
Who Is Make Life Great, And What Do They Have To Do With BeerHiker?
Make Life Great, Inc. is a small company focused on making your work and personal life better. In order to make BeerHiker available, it is easiest to have it be a part of Make Life Great.
How Do I Get Support For BeerHiker?
BeerHiker is built and supported by a few people in their spare time. They do this for fun and because they love both hiking and beer. It has taken a couple of years to deliver the first version. The backlog of features is long. They will trickle out as time permits. Support is important to us, but it too will take time.
Please be patient!
