Ever lost your tent at a festival? The traditional stumble over guy ropes as you drunkenly grope your way through thousands of identical tents is no more!
We’ve just got a new iPhone at Campr towers and browsing through the App store brought up TentFinder. It uses the iPhone’s GPS to mark the position of your tent then guides you back with the map and digital compass. TentFinder is simple and intuitive to use, and looks quite stylish. We’d love to see integration with other festival info, we could see it guiding you to some of Glastonbury’s hidden gems. But maybe that takes some of the magic away?
Of course we’ll be leaving our iPhone at home, we’re far too scared about dropping our shiny new toy in the portaloos. But TentFinder isn’t limited to festivals, or even whilst camping. TentFinder would work equally well for hiking or simply finding your car in the multi story carpark.
The app only costs £1.19 so if it saves you sleeping in the Stone Circle it’s probably worth a punt.
