If you have chosen an app which uses GPS technology to identify your location, you’ll have no doubt exactly where you are, and how close the nearest stream or shelter is.
On a trail as well marked as the Appalachian Trail, you might find that you’ve been hiking for over an hour without stopping to pinpoint your location on your map.
Even if you’re an experienced map reader, sometimes it can be a struggle to locate which stream you’re at, or waste time referencing landmarks to re-establish where you are. There’s a range of advantages to using a phone app as opposed to paper maps. Why do I need an app if I have a paper map? These apps contain a variety of features so whether you’re after a simple map or real-time weather updates there will be something to suit you.
