Looking for outdoor navigation. Google Maps is plenty fine for streets, but it’s too limited and business focused.
Need something simple that:
- Makes it stupid easy to mark and label a spot. Really easy.
- Makes it simple to see, or at least guestimate, distances.
- Has Satellite/terrain coverage like Google Maps.
- Hopefully has accurate geographical features like creeks and ponds.
- A compass overlay would be the bomb.
What’s good?
Organic Maps fits sort of fits that description. It’s powered by OpenStreetMaps. Easy to mark and save locations and tells you the distance between two or more.
Have you considered something like Avenza? I believe they have live basemaps now. There’s also Fulcrum (premium $) and Esri Field Maps.
These require some work up front but these are what we researchers use to navigate and collect data in the field.
Osmand + trail sense
It’s great.
I’ve been using Backcountry navigator for a few years now. works great, uses forest service maps and others. selectable downloadable areas and and a few more useful features including compass on map.
Which one exactly? Seeing a few.
