North Shore Rescue brings in helicopter to assist injured teen
An injured hiker needed some help from above after hurting her leg on a steep trail in the West Vancouver backcountry Sunday afternoon. North Shore Rescue received a call just before noon Sunday from B.C. Ambulance reporting a 15-year-old teenager sprained her left ankle after a slip on a large rock hiking up to St. Mark's Summit along the Howe Sound Crest Trail in Cypress Provincial Park. Volunteers used a Talon helicopter to find the teen on the trail, where she was stranded with her mother and relatives. 'It was sore enough that she wasn't able to walk on it, so it's best not to aggravate it,' said search manager Don Jardine. 'If you're feeling that much pain, it's better to call for help.' After rescue crews found the injured hiker, two volunteers hoisted down to place her into the aircraft. From there, crews flew to the search and rescue team's Capilano Gate station so an ambulance could take her to Lions Gate Hospital. St. Mark's Summit is one of the viewpoints along the Howe Sound Trail, a 26-kilometre hike spanning from Cypress Bowl to Porteau Cove above the Sea to Sky Highway. 'It's easy to have a slip, it's fairly steep,' Jardine said. 'There's still a little bit of snow in places, and because it's melting, there's a bit of mud. There's lots of slippery roots and rocks.' In a social media post , the search and rescue team said Sunday's call highlights how quickly plans can change in the backcountry. Jardine urged people to be careful with their footing while hiking, going with a group and bringing equipment like hiking poles. 'I find hiking poles are really advantageous because you're getting four points of contact rather than just two, and if you do slip, they can stop you from twisting your ankle,' he said. 'It's a popular hike, there are a lot of people going there and it can get quite hot in the summer,' Jardine added. 'So go early and bring lots of water.' North Shore Rescue also shared in the post other recent calls they have responded to, including a tourist stuck near Eagle Bluffs after running out of water and trying to navigate steep terrain with a phone map, a solo hiker who slipped along the BCMC Trail on Grouse Mountain , a helicopter hoist operation for four teenagers on Mount Fromme who become stranded in steep terrain after leaving the trail trying to descend to Mountain Highway, and a fatal motor vehicle crash near Norrish Creek with an overnight helicopter search . After the recent calls, the search and rescue team offered a number of safety tips such as using backcountry specific apps like Gaia or AllTrails and downloading the map ahead of time, as Google Maps is not always reliable in remote terrain. Also if a hiker leaves the trail, do not keep heading downhill, but return to known ground if safe. Abby Luciano is the Indigenous and civic affairs reporter for the North Shore News.

Apple iOS 26 Maps: What's new in Apple Maps with the iOS 26 update
Apple Maps in iOS 26: Apple Maps gets a solid upgrade with iOS 26, offering features that make outdoor navigation easier and more reliable. If you enjoy hiking or travelling through remote areas, the new offline maps, topographic layers, and trail routes could be a game-changer. Available in both the iOS 26 developer and public betas, these features help you access key navigation tools without needing a constant internet connection. You can now download specific areas, view topography with contour lines, and follow marked trails in supported national parks. These updates put Apple Maps closer to apps like AllTrails and Gaia GPS, aiming to make iPhones more useful in nature. Whether you're planning a trek or simply heading somewhere with a patchy signal, iOS 26 Maps ensures you won't get lost. Here's what's new and how to use it. 1. Preferred Routes Apple Maps uses on-device intelligence to determine the best routes to destinations you visit often, including work, home, and school, and it records the times you usually see those locations. The Maps app can notify you of any traffic or road closures that will affect your commute and provide you with an alternate route so you can arrive on time. If there are any route problems, the same information is displayed in a Maps Suggestions Home Screen widget. Since this is an under-the-hood feature that only activates when necessary, it may not activate if your commute is short and does not involve highways that see a lot of traffic. By selecting Settings > Maps > Location and turning off the "Preferred Routes and Predicted Destinations" option, you can turn it on or off. 2. Voice Controls In the Maps app, the Voice Volume section is now called Voice Controls. Toggles for Muted, Alerts Only, and Unmuted have been introduced to make it easier to change how turn-by-turn directions are sent. In iOS 18, these controls were there, but just as toggles with no explanation on the right side of the screen when turn-by-turn instructions were being given. 3. Liquid Glass Redesign Apple's Liquid Glass revamp, which includes some minor interface adjustments, has been incorporated into the Maps app. Place icons have been enlarged, and the search bar and navigation menu are translucent, allowing you to see some of the Maps background behind them. The numerous menus, cards, and buttons are more rounded than before, and the icons give the appearance of layered glass. The Share Sheet is transparent and features a popover layout. Places is the new name for the Library tab that was available when you tapped your profile photo. It features a new Visited Places section and better spacing. Time of arrival, distance, and travel time are displayed more clearly, and turn-by-turn directions are in a smaller pop-up bar instead of taking up the top of the Maps display. 4. Place Information The Maps app now displays the Call, Menu, and Website buttons at the top of the screen, along with the business's hours and, if available, the order option, when you tap into or type in a location. To get directions to a location, there is now a floating button at the bottom right of the app that is constantly accessible. 5. Visited Place Whether you're traveling or in your neighborhood, Apple Maps may record the locations you've been to. It can keep track of the eateries, stores, parks, and places you visit, allowing you to look back and recall your past whereabouts. Google has long provided a timeline that records visits to locations automatically, and Apple's recently added Visited Places feature is equivalent to the Google Maps Timeline's capabilities. The Maps app notifies you of the new functionality when you update to iOS 26 and gives you the option to opt in or out. By launching the Maps app, touching on your profile image, tapping on Places, and then tapping on Visited Places, you may view your visited places. This interface includes a search function in addition to a list of the places you have visited by month. You can choose to delete your existing history and modify the duration of visits (three months, a year, or forever). Additionally, you can report inaccurate location readings and remove locations one at a time simply by tapping on them. An option to erase all or to clear everything and disable Visited Places completely appears when you clear your history in Apple Maps. By selecting Settings > Apps > Maps > Location, you can opt to disable Visited Places or enable it later. Turn off Visited Places after that. By selecting Privacy and Security > Location Services > Maps, you may also reach the toggle. For Visited Places to function, you must toggle on Precise Location. The locations you have visited are saved on your smartphone. Apple does not upload the data to its servers. 6. Improved Incident Report More incident types have been added, and a new incident button on the right side of the iPhone makes it simpler to report an incident like a wreck when receiving turn-by-turn directions. A crash, speeding violation, traffic, road construction, hazard, or road closure can all be reported. The only options available in iOS 18 are crash, speed check, and danger.
