Hiker
The map uses Google's maps and satellite views and shows your current location, a log of your track, your saved positions, and destinations.
The satellites display shows the current GPS satellites, their azimuth and signal-to-noise ratio, and whether they have the current ephemeris data. Data fields include your current latitude, longitude, and altitude, and an estimate of the accuracy of the current GPS fix.
Preloaded with over 2,900 destinations in the western United States, Alaska, and Hawaii. Save your current position to the destinations list to use on your return and in later hikes. Send your current position to your friends by email, text, Twitter, or Facebook. Log your tracks and view them on the map.
New in 1.2, two ways to add positions with actually being there: Tap the map or enter a street address.

Much better than a fancier-looking app I tried. Maps are responsive and app does not require weird permissions.
says i am going 3.6 MPH - problem is that I am sitting in my easy chair
If that is all you need then this is a good app. No photo or way-point options. No upload/sharing abilities.
Nice app works well used a few times hikeing local trails like using hand held gps.
and I'm really intrigued by it's potential. I live in area that's basically within walking distance of three units of the Chattahoochee National Park Service and have been looking for an app to use on my hikes. Still working with the app but it's great. Hopefully, the dev hasn't hung this up as it's been almost a year without an update.
I tried several apps, and finally found this one, it works for latitude, longitude, altitude and compass. And the google maps are a nice extra bonus. Thanks!
Like the app! Agree with another poster however that the 2 lower boxes get cut off on smaller screens. Fix this and 5 stars :)
I didn't expect much but this app works fine and is very fluid.
Tried several times. Never worked. Could it just be me? Shouldnt have to think this through, most apps work out of the box.
Bottom of compass and satellite display missing on HTC Wildfire S.
A fancy compass is all it is. Nothing more and nothing less..
intermittent use of power supply only for seven days out.
I love the app but it cuts of the altitude and accuracy at the bottom off halfway. Please Fix!
I love this app for hiking in the woods. I no longer have the motorola that it was originally downloaded to. Now I have a iPhone 5s and can't get the app because the app store thinks I already have it on my razor. It say "installed". So, how do I get it onto my 5s??
Bottom of compass and satellite display missing on LG Optimus 5
I love this app but want to save maps for hiking away from cell towers
Pros: Fine Compass. Good Satellite Screen -- Con: Can't reach menu items mentioned (e.g. LG G4 does not have hardware menu button). e.g. Can not calibrate compass.
Bravo. Try it.
WOW totally doesn't help find hiking trails.
Best
It works in the field, but once you get home and review a hike there is no utility to export and save it for use on other Apps and computers. Can this be added? Nor is it clear where the data is being saved.
Te app is good. But, i just don't know how am I going to make the map into a satellite image. I hope you could teach me how.
Needs an option for using your direction of travel as UP on the GPS map. Otherwise pretty solid! Will test further on hunts/hikes. Motorola Atrix 2
Cool, functional app! Haven't tried it in the field yet. My one quibble so far is that the compass and GPS views do not scale correctly to smaller screens; on my phone the bottom two data boxes on each are cut off.
