GPS Apps

[ret5hd]

7. Yes, one little section at a time...

having to “trace” your projected route one download at a time, and hope you don’t have a detour that takes you off your planned route. And you are limited in the number of maps you can store at one time.

I just like having a decent gps based (meaning no cell service needed) downloaded map for all of the lower 48…just in case. Maps.me works for me and has never failed when I needed to find the way back to a highway from a remote campsite with no cell service.

Another excellent resource is Avenza maps. Detailed MVUM (motor vehicle use maps) for almost every National Forest are free.

Another resource are apps like FreeRoam, which help locating free campsites, with complete driving directions.

I know there are other apps/services that accomplish these needs, but the combination I have listed has really NEVER let me down.
