« on: August 01, 2012, 05:07:05 PM »
Anybody have a recommendation for an Android GPS app?
Looking at Trimble but would like to hear from users.
Thanks!

Just use your GPS in the vehicle.

No and yes.  It has to have internet to look up the caches.  You can then save them for off line use.  I will often save some caches before I lose service then put the coordinates into another GPS.

I also use c:geo on my droid phone; it is very useful for geocaching.  I also use gpsstatus for basic GPS functions.  For navigation I use the built in Google maps function, but I still rely mostly on my Garmin Nuvi for turn by turn directions.

I used CoPilot GPS on my recent trip to upper Michigan.  It does not require cell service.  I did pay for an inexpensive upgrade to allow me to do trip routing but the free version still works well as a GPS.  It had all of the unpaved forest service roads in the national forest I was in on it.
