>>2778722google maps doesn't give you any sort of terrain mode on your phone
you can save areas for use without coverage but that's for driving TO the trail and back, unless the trail is already in the google maps system as a dotted line I don't think it just lets you add that to google maps
sometimes it is, for more popular stuff, or sometimes its just like a dot marking where a waterfall is and you just kinda point and walk towards the dot
but alltrails is a lot fucking better because you get a dedicated hiking map layer, they took away topo maps, which is shitty, I assume cuz the feds wanted more money for them to use them
>regular paper mapthe advantage to digital is being able to see your place and whete you want to go, instantly, as well as to be able to change your mind and go somewhere else without having to print out a new map
