>>1465196Oh so this wasn't the first time I have used the app. I have always had my maps loaded onto my phone, because it weighs nothing and means I have another back up. But this was the first time it was my main and sole form of navigation. I would definetly get familiar with your gps before heading out with it!
>traditional hiking GPS?yeah you'll be fine! Do make sure you can get weather updates through it though. You really need to be able to check the weather before heading into the canyons.
