The iPhone\/iPad<\/strong> Trilobite app runs on Macbooks released in 2020 and beyond<\/strong> – Macbook pro, air & neo, the latter being a newly released $899-$1,099 model. The Macbook does not have GPS<\/strong> hardware or an internal compass<\/strong>, so is not a field device<\/span><\/strong>, but you can use it in the home, office or base camp, if you like the bigger screen and a physical<\/strong> keyboard<\/strong>. If you have an iPhone or iPad, and use the same Apple ID<\/strong> on your Macbook, the app will use the App Store subscriptions that you have already bought. The Macbook interacts fine<\/strong> with Android devices<\/strong>, but if this is your hardware mix, you need to purchase a separate App <\/strong>subscription ($11.99\/year) from the App Store, for the Macbook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Install the Trilobite app from the iPhone\/iPad App Store<\/strong> – https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/au\/app\/australian-geology-travel-maps\/id1361470455<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Use ‘Manage downloads<\/strong>‘ in exactly the same way as you do on your phone or tablet, when you have a good internet connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can do similarly with .kml, spatialite<\/strong> (.sqlite), .geojson and .mbtiles<\/strong> files<\/p>\n\n\n\n The simplest way to do this is to backup your locations or trails<\/strong> to a USB stick – from an Android<\/strong> or Apple<\/strong> device – (see backups<\/a>), then insert the USB stick into the MacBook and import<\/strong> the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You cannot record trails because there is no GPS, but you can create locations and backup these up from within the app’s menu (icon with 3 horizontal bars).<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" General information The iPhone\/iPad Trilobite app runs on Macbooks released in 2020 and beyond – Macbook pro, air & neo, the latter being a newly released $899-$1,099 model.
