Hiking project is the best hiking app I've used so far GPS me wherever I'm at on the trail must haves for all hikers
Tad heavy on battery life, but great beta on trails
Loving this app so far. Great for checking in and logging which trails I been to. Looking forward to helping add photo soon .
Works great. Tons of data and information about any hike.
Very accurate. Better than other trail apps we have used. Love that it downloads to be used when you dont have service which is the case in many hiking instances.
