Title: Android GPS App?
Post by: Khodabear 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!

Thanks. I never would have thought of that.

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 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.
