Non Cell Network Map App
Anyone have a good recommendation for a map app that doesn't use the cell network. Ya know, when you're out in BFN and can still use your cell phone as a GPS. I liked Orux maps, but they're not supported anymore and want something along those lines.

Iphone has "you need a map", which is OK. Download maps to your phone, no connection needed after that.
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/you-...415545903?mt=8 There's also Topo Maps US - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/topo...033846196?mt=8 - but I don't have that. ETA - bought Topo Maps US last night; the base version is free, but to get high resolution maps costs $. I spent $11.99 for 3 months of high-res access, spent about half an hour downloading the center and east county maps for Contra Costa.

But you can also download geo-referenced quad maps from USGS for camping and backpacking. |

Having tried a half dozen apps, my preference is STILL paper! Batteries don't go dead on paper. If you insist on digital, I perfer a stand-alone GPS for navigation. Even in airplane mode and relying on just the internal gps, my phone goes dead way too soon to be a reliable nav source.
As laurelpark said, AAA maps; I have a county map in each car and one in my pack ... excellent reference. |

You can use the USGS too maps, National Forest maps, among others paid or free. Just remember if you go with BCN the developer is coming with a new app that's supposed to be better.
