BackCountry Nav Is a Good - but Not Sufficient - Guide

With ubiquitous Google Maps installed as standard on smartphone OS market leader Android's devices, why anyone would need anything else? Well, the principal benefit of an app like BackCountry Navigator Pro GPS is that it provides offline access to topographic maps, which represent terrain using graphical contour lines, aiding in outdoor-activity navigation. If you couple topo mapping with an Android device's GPS, you have a handy navigation tool. If you add map download functionality, you have an offline device that can operate where there's no mobile coverage.
