BackCountry Navigator allows you to download topographic maps for offline use on your outdoor adventures. This popular Android app lets you utilize your phone or tablet as a handheld GPS with off-road topo mapping capabilities. It enables you to explore areas beyond cellular coverage, making it ideal for hiking and other recreational activities.

You can download topographic maps for the US and various other countries in advance, eliminating the need for cell coverage during your navigation. The app allows you to store maps on your device's memory for easy access.

A new feature includes support for Android Wear, providing convenient navigation information at a glance on your wrist. You can utilize GPS waypoints from GPX or KML files, or input your coordinates using different formats such as longitude/latitude, UTM, MGRS, or grid reference. The 'GOTO' function turns waypoints into actionable loci for navigation.

The app offers numerous publicly available map sources as free downloads. Additionally, users have the option to purchase extra content within the app:

  • Accuterra Topo Map Source for $19.99/year
  • Thunderforest Map Sources worldwide for $11.99 per year
  • Boundary maps for 12 western states from the Bureau of Land Management(BLM)
  • GMU boundaries in some states
  • Lake Contours in several states
  • ATV, Whitewater, and Equestrian Trail Maps from US TrailMaps

More add-ons are available in the 'Purchasing AddOns' section under the More menu, which can be displayed on top of topo maps. Users can try out the DEMO version to ensure compatibility with maps in their region.

The app provides topographic maps that showcase terrain features through color and contours, making them valuable for off-road navigation purposes. These maps, coupled with GPS functionality, cater to activities like hiking, hunting, kayaking, snowshoeing, and backpacking trails.

BackCountry Navigator supports various map sources including OpenStreetMaps from MapQuest, OpenCycleMaps for global terrain information, US Topo Maps from Caltopo and the USGS, Canada Topo Maps from Toporama, NOAA RNC Nautical Charts for marine navigation, and more.

Users can make use of offline topo maps and GPS even in areas with no cell service, enhancing their backcountry navigation experience. With GPS satellite positioning and offline maps, users do not need to rely on data connectivity for map access.

The app can serve as a geocaching navigator by importing pocket queries as GPX files. Aside from geocaching, it enables users to record tracks and waypoints during trips while tracking their progress on topographic maps.

BackCountry Navigator has been widely used for various outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, hunting, fishing, SAR operations, long-term trekking like the Pacific Crest Trail, kayaking, canoeing, and backpacking trips through wilderness areas and national forests.

It encourages users to explore the outdoors beyond cellular boundaries with confidence in their GPS navigation skills. BackCountry Navigator offers a feature-rich and flexible Android version that has garnered positive feedback from users who have used it as a substitute for handheld GPS devices like Garmin units.

For a one-time fee, this app serves as a valuable addition to your outdoor gear collection purchased from reputable outdoor stores like Cabelas or REI. Many users have found that an Android device equipped with BackCountry Navigator can effectively replace dedicated GPS units such as those from Garmin or Magellan.
