"Very helpful for getting search and rescue, helps us plan and record our sorties. well made, great features, and easy to use. Wish aerial photos were higher detail but still great! " --Austin Troth

" I am an avid outdoorsman and retired guide with 35 years of experience in the outdoors. I think that this is the best mapping app that I have. Highly recommend you check it out." --Dale Whitmore

"Great Used it as GPS backpacking and it worked great. The contour maps available were free and the phone GPS did the rest. Economical and practical solution " --Mike Walker

"To transfer use the export to gpx (my pref). This sends a gpx file to a defined location (e.g sd csrd) then transfer sd to new phone or upload to a cloud. Overall an excellent GIS app. Add-ons are worth every penny I spent" --Nate D

 " I'm very involved in K9 wilderness Search & Rescue and having such an excellent topo and aerial mapping application right on my phone is awesome! Backcountry Navigator incorporates several different map types and offers high quality topo and aerial maps, using both lat/lon and UTM grid references which is a very important feature for me. The great maps, in addition to GPS tracking and waypointing, make this a very valuable tool for my SAR toolbag."  By Theodore W. Vogel

" This program is quite powerful as a companion to a full featured gps or as a standalone. Comes in handy when in the woods for seach and rescue, hunting or for fun. Accurate and reliable even when out of cell range. Thanks! " By The Head
