JEEP TRAIL OFFROAD GPS: What GPS is everyone running?

[crowrb29]

FWIW I have gotten pretty accurate navigation from google maps when I type in the Lats and Longs of where I'm trying to go.

Try Maverick. I Like it better than back country. Free version allows offline maps.

I have both Trimble and Gaia GPS on my iphone and ipad. A quick look shows them both available for Android.
I like the idea that Trimble has for downloading maps by county.
But I like features of Gaia GPS where it will orient the map for which direction you are driving. I haven't used it enough to need any offline maps yet so not sure how that works, but it does have the capability.

Both cost money to download (at least last time I downloaded them) and both have some sort of "premium" access you pay extra for.

I use Gaia on our iPad - love it. Most of the people in one club we belong - more than 400. - have android tablets and use Backcounty Navigator.

I use Gaia GPS on my android. The entire app was recently updated and is working really nice. Simple to create waypoints, record tracks and even export them as *.gpx files. It even imports *.gpx files which may include tracks, routes and waypoints. My favorite part is being able to download all map data so I can be off the grid and still have a functioning GPS.

Hope this helps. The app developer also has excellent support!

I've run several different GPS units in the past but now only use an app on my iPad called Gaia. It works on an iPhone too.

Do you know if you can add coordinates to this app? I use it very little. I have looked but can't seem to find where to input the coords I would like.

Look for the magnifying glass icon.

 

[Serg5000]

I tried that and it did not work.

I tried that and it did not work.

Type in the coordinate, click search, click the pin with the plus sign, drop pin and it'll be there.

 

[Serg5000]

Here is the format I'm using and not getting any results.

 

[Serg5000]

I got it. Thanks for the help.

For you guys using Gaia, have you found any of the Moab trails available to load into Gaia?

Trail Navigation

What type of devices do you guys use for navigation on trails? I've tried using various apps on my phone but I tend to completely lose service on most of the trails we run in North GA. Any suggestions?
