BackCountry Navigator has been previously available on WM devices and preloaded on the Trimble Nomad outdoor rugged device. This Android version is more flexible, featured and fun. Many have found the Android GPS in a phone or tablet to substitute for a Garmin GPS or Magellan GPS such as the Garmin Montana GPS, Garmin Etrex GPS or the Garmin Oregon GPS. Android can be your handheld GPS. Download topo maps for the US and many other countries in advance so you won't need cell coverage when navigating. Use GPS waypoints from GPX or KML files or enter your own coordinates using longitude/latitude, UTM MGRS or grid reference. Using GOTO makes a waypoint a locus for navigation. This uses many publicly available map sources as free downloads.
