I decided to do a review of two navigation apps. My summits on the air activity takes me into some less traveled places to do my summits. Planning is really important on some of these trips and I was frustrated with AllTrials because it doesn't have any markers on public/private land so doing advanced planning is difficult. I've been thwarted a couple of times because my planned route took me into private land and I couldn't figure out how to re-plan or if I could walk around the property. There is a web site out there that shows some boundary info but it's a pain to use. So here goes...
I downloaded the top two apps that have have had very high ratings by others and recommended by guys that do my activity. I've been an AllTrails user for a while and really love it but it's time to look around. In order to get the level of features I need, I purchased a pro subscription for both, under $60. I need more experience in the field with GAIA and if anything substantially impacts my experience, I'll update this review. So lets' get to it.
