I recently did TDP O circuit. I bought the FarOut guide, but I felt it was expensive for what it provided, and not necessary. Water is available everywhere, and the trail is well marked.
Wouldn’t recommend for colorado trail. App was always putting wrong miles and distances making it very confusing. Doesn’t list campsites so people start pooling where the comments are written. Incorrect elevation in relation to the map. I would just research the few “water carry” sections and walk blindly next time. There’s many water sources and then just go how far you feel because this wasn’t much help.
I used the app for the Camino del norte in Spain and was overall great. I am currently in India and realized there were no maps in Asia. It would be such a great update!
I used FarOut (previously guthook) on the PCT in 2019 and it was excellent. Currently using it on Te Araroa and it is only somewhat helpful. Missing campsites, markers, bypasses, and just generally not up to date. Granted, Te Araroa is a newer trail than some others but the app could definitely use a yearly update here to keep things current. On the well established trails this app is all you need
The maps are very helpful. Waypoints are great. Hadn’t used a map I’d bought since they consolidated all the separate apps, support (Tyler specifically) helped make a quick transition to restore a 4 year old purchase. Wasn’t expecting a response, but they had it up and running in less than a day on a long weekend.
This was the app I used the most while doing the Camino Frances. Overall I like how you can find your location and distance to the next town. It is missing the most direct route between Tricastela and Sarria. It shows a couple of hostels on the route but not the trail. Other apps provide more info on albergues/hostels. I encountered a couple of glitches in the app and the support team was excellent. With some updates on the Camino Frances this will be a five star app.
The current number this app has for hikers to report in Canada is wrong. The correct number for hikers to call in and report is 403-317-3953. Can you please update the information as many hikers will need this number. Thank you.
Best app ever for hiking newbie to professional everyone has it on the trails. Download before leaving
Excellent, would be even greater if the campsites that have names (many) were named. Very useful app and popular on the trail! Thanks! Wendy from ictoris, BC Canada
