This a very versatile and accurate app for tracking your hikes/runs/walks/etc. You can record your track and export it. Gives you mileage, elevation gain, time, breaks, and so on, plus different map layers. You can also import existing routes and set to follow those. It can run in airplane mode, resulting in very little battery usage, even for a full day hike.
We love Route Scout! Thanks to hikearizona.com and this app we’ve been able to explore areas of AZ that we didn’t even know existed! Love researching the areas/hikes and the download is super simple. Thanks to everyone who contributes to this fabulous resource!!
There are too many other easy apps. This app is anything but simple. Easy to record a hike but not so much if you simply want to download a hike and follow it.
Cheesy audio and 16 bit graphics. Also absolutely the most functional and useful hiking app I have ever used (been through half a dozen). Very accurate and has alerts when u get off track. Fair warning if you a want a simple clean user interface this is not your app. It is a little clunky and requires some figuring out for downloading routes etc. that said assuming it has the route I need available I would not use anything else.
GREAT!
You know when you stumble across an old Geocities-type website with auto-play embedded sound and suddenly your study session is interrupted by blasting HamsterDance? Yeah, this app auto plays loud distorted bird sound on launch. It was so disturbing and annoying I just deleted the app and never looked back. There are plenty of other apps that do this. I have no idea why the creator though that auto-play sound of screeching birds was a good idea. Was I just Rick-Rolled or something? Just move along.
Route Scout works very well for me. The interface can be a little confusing at first, but once figured out the program works well. The "follow" features are particularly useful, as it essentially turns you phone into a graphic GPS. It is handy to have a track of where you have been, and the voice messages are nice to let you know how far you have come and at what pace. Be aware that using your phone in GPS mode will drain the battery in a few hours, an auxiliary battery to recharge it is handy on longer hikes. All in all a very handy app.
Love this app!
