I packed my phone for the first time this year and I can see how it would be handy, but due to the cold, I had a hard time keeping it on. I would have full battery in the morning but after just a few minutes it would show low battery and power down until I got it warmed back up. Temps around 25-35 degrees. Very annoying. Does anybody else have that problem or is it just my Iphone 5S? If so, what do you do to fix it?

I bought a five pack of them and keep them stashed in my gear and truck. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.utahsweetsavings.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/portable-external-cell-phone-charger-300x154.jpg) I like the round ones because they fit perfectly in a shotshell loop in a hunting jacket. Just don't try and feed it in your 12 gauge.

Also, were you on airplane mode? Yes, airplane mode is only way to go when you don't have cell service otherwise battery really drains trying to find signal. Those battery packs look like a good idea whackem, I'll try that. If I keep the phone next to my body it helps but that's not always ideal. I don't like a bunch of stuff in my pants pockets.

Can the iPhone mark waypoints, show the direction back to waypoints, and track your route and then do trackback?
Casey Yes. Yes as in it will mark waypoints, show the direction and perform the trackback feature? Casey

I tried it a couple of years ago with the Iphone 4, but every time I got where I could use the map or to map a waypoint it wouldn't work right due to no signal. If I had a signal I was usually close enough to the road/entrance that I didnt' really need a map

Iphone 4 does not have the capability of the gps tracking function to work in an area of no signal or while on airplane mode. I believe the 5s is the oldest iPhone with that feature.
