Smart Phones

[rik_uk3]

PDFs and apps are available for anything you'd want. I have even got the SAS survival handbook as an app.

I think thats a 'cut down' version but if you don't mind pirate downloads the worlds your oyster, pretty much anything you can think of is out there.

Battery wise its easy enough to take a couple of spare batteries with you or on a camp

I've run a ten inch tablet and two smart phones on that for four or five days and never run it flat.

so after 3 years of not owning (my own choice) a phone ive been given one (Android) to help with maps as my gps has finally died of death so does anyone have any good apps? or ebooks worth having?

I have the Devon Air Ambulance app on my iPhone but is available for android as well. Primarily I downloaded it as it takes a GPS coordinate and changes it to an OS grid reference. Not sure if the conversion is done outside of the Devon area so would be good to know.

I use komoot... online planning with OS maps, and then offline navigation and pathfinding, allows you to monitor your climb height and distance too. I find it a lot simpler than the other outdoor navigators. Any love for it on NBC?

I have started using ViewRanger but taking a while to get my head around it.

Try komoot, viewranger seems good - I just can't use it. I gather you have to pay for the best bits. Komoot, just have to buy map packs for three quid, but you get your first free (I chose Derbyshire!)
