A physical iPhone gives the best compass experience. Simulators and some devices may not provide reliable heading data.
iCloud Drive Backup
Open Settings to enable optional iCloud Drive backup. Backups remain off until you turn them on. You can keep the default private iCloud Drive location or choose another folder available through the iOS Files picker.
When enabled, Mooring Finder automatically backs up saved moorings after changes. You can restore a backup from the same Settings screen.
Troubleshooting
The app is waiting for location or heading.
Make sure Location Services are enabled for Mooring Finder in iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services. For heading, use a physical iPhone and move away from magnetic interference when possible.
Coordinates are not accepted.
Check that latitude and longitude are both present and use a supported format. Direction letters such as N, S, E, and W can help clarify the coordinate.
The backup location is unavailable.
Open Settings in Mooring Finder and choose the backup location again. The Files provider may require sign-in or reconnection.
I still need help.
Email [email protected] and include the app version, iOS version, device model, and a description of what happened. Please do not email private mooring locations unless they are necessary for troubleshooting.
