Very neat! This is the view through my office if I had no walls and all the trees and the houses to the north were leveled. “I think I should be able to see peak X right now, where is it?” You can select from a list of peaks that should be visible from where you are standing and the phone’s compass and screen will guide you to look at it. One especially cool feature is it can work in reverse, i.e. It can help you quickly name visible peaks at your viewpoint. This is kind of a “fun” app when exploring.

If the National Weather Service issues any storm or flood warnings for the area I am in the app alerts me with the classic annoying sound that comes over the radios & TV when alerts are issued ($1.99 in App purchase), even if the app isn’t running. So many of our cliffs, Cathedral, Whitehorse, Cannon, all face east and this app shows me incoming thunderheads before they hit. I have astonished countless clients by predicting when the rain will start to fall within 10 minutes of accuracy using this app. This is the best weather radar app I have found. If that is the case I would recommend a dedicated GPS like a Garmin Etrex.Ģ) MyRadar – Weather Radar – Forecast, Storms, and Earthquakes By Aviation Data Systems, Inc (free) Something wicked this way comes You can pre-load map data if you are heading somewhere off grid (No 3G+ service).

If I really want to get a track of a 6+ hour trip I’ll carry the Goal Zero Guide 10 Plus to recharge my phone on the go. This works great back-country skiing as I save my battery for the descent. I also tend to only record my track on the way back from somewhere.

For that I never rely on them as a sole means of navigating (still carry map & compass). ProTip: The big downside of GPS apps is how demanding they are on your cell phones battery. I just downloaded it and will update this post once I’ve had a chance to form an opinion on the new version. The new app can be found on the iTunes store here. It looks like the publisher, Augmenta, has released a large update, basically a new app, and plans to discontinue support on the original app. Track details like duration, average speed, distance, are easily captured along with GPS Altitude Graphs and Speed Graphs showing you where you were really moving and where you were really hurting.

Here’s a screen shot of both maps: Satellite or USGS 24k Topo The main draw to this app is its simplicity to record a track log and how quickly I can switch back and forth from Bing Aerial Imagery (Satellite) to USHS 24k Topo maps (with USA Trails overlay). I have now logged hundreds of trips with it and barely used all of its features. I experimented with a couple GPS apps before settling on this app about 3 years ago.
