hi all i would like to know any apps you think are essential if one was into a techy android hike or camp, what apps do you use to navigate or general hike or camp with thankyou
absolutely, spare batteries, extended batteries, turn off cell reception unless YOU need it, maybe a solar charger/hand crank get a gps app where you can download maps in advance, you might need to pay, google navigation/maps wont be sufficient (unless they're released their advance area download stuff recently) because cell reception in the middle of nowhere is understandably crap.
Google Goggles, so you can take a picture of a blade of grass, and google will be able to scan the composition and colour and geo locate you to the nearest mm, and give you an in depth analysis of your surroundings............... but really as mentioned, ... spare batteries, a decent case, gps with mappacks, compass app....... and maybe a mushroom dictionary etc so you can safely forage for food....
hi all. well so far i have a bike charger to charge my phone while im traveling to locations which should keep battery topped up, and the cell reception is a must i feel also, i never thought about a solar/crank charger so im going to look into these as for maps i have a app called BackCountry Navigator PRO GPS https://play.google.com/store/apps/...tYXAuYmFja2NvdW50cnluYXZpZ2F0b3IubGljZW5zZSJd which i used to download os maps of the local area im going so no Internet is required
omg im packing my camping back back for tomorrow and im good at tetris but this is hard to fit everything one needs into one bag for a week of hiking :/ and ive not even sorted food yet
hi just got back from what turned out a 8day trip, i got a real map nd compass but after finding the os map a little time consuming i reverted to a app call back county navigator this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.crittermap.backcountrynavigator.license&hl=en simply as it used gps and told me the direction and location with a simple click without having to get the HUGE os map out in 25+ mph winds and it acting like a large kite i took a few good images and will upload them once i get them to the pc, but ive not long got back today to im gona rest up
