**************************************

1. Route Planner
Simply draw your hiking route on the map or import it from Google Earth (KML or GPX) and this app will give you details about your planned hiking route. These included distances, time estimations, elevations, elevation profiles and more. Information is given for the whole route as well as for each waypoint of your planned hiking route. The distance, expected arrival time, return trip arrival time and elevation of each waypoint is shown simply by clicking it on the map.

2. Tracking Function
On the day of your hike, you can turn on the tracking function to get real time information and save it for later review.
You can compare your hiking progress with the estimations in the app. It helps you to determine whether you should speed up, slow down or should stop the hike and go home. It increases hiking safety by showing you if you are behind schedule and telling you when you can expect yourself to be at a certain landmark/waypoint.

3. Autosave and recovery
The app is designed to save and recover your tracking data automatically so you don't need to worry about data loss in case of battery running out or other device problems.

4. Hiking Log
You can keep all your hikes in the log to see how much you have hiked. You can show them on the map any time to review your hike and to see how good your estimation was.

5. Checklist
The app is pre-loaded with a day-hike checklist. You can add, remove, re-arrange categories and items in this list to customize it to your need. In the Pro version, you can even save the customized list for different hikes (CSV format). You can also prepare your own checklist from MS Excel or other spreadsheet programs and then import it into the apps.

I used it on a local bike and it crashed

Can only click to add a point and if it's too close to last point it won't be added, making it very difficult to draw precise routes.

Z70%
by Z####:

Always crashes importing map can not edit tracks. Have had it jump miles off course making your track incorrect. The app has not been updated/fixed in well over a year don't waste your money use the free version

Very good app for hiking planing. However, always errors while import the gpx file. Besides, it seems that exported altitude unit is foot instead of meter, it may casuse problem while imported by other apps

This App looks perfect for my needs, however I have a nagging problem in that a .gpx file that I am trying to import is coming up with an error. I have tried other .gpx files and the same error exists, however I have emailed the author to see if there is a problem etc. All in all, I will give this App a 3 star rating, however if the problem is resolved I will review again after I have completed my hike this weekend.
