Best AT app for android
I am looking for a GPS trail app for the AT. Ideas?
There are so many miles and so many mountains between here and there that it is hardly worth thinking about
Guthook's is the only one I own, so can't comment on others. So far, I think it's great.

Guthook's works great for me (I'm a section hiker only). Well worth the $6.99.
Just remember, that's per section, not the whole trail.Originally Posted by Just Tom

another +1 for Guthooks. I got the whole thing at once, have used it in VA and GA so far. Definitely helps cover the gap of inexperience with backpacking - shows where water points are, shelters, elevations, etc. For me, it was money well spent.
another item to carry on your phone is the AWOL guide in PDF - I think it was around $8. exactly like the book, without the weight. Depending on your screen size, you may have to zoom in - but on an iPhone6 (so I imagine Galaxy S6 or some similar size) I have no issues.
about the only other app I use (besides texting the wife) while on the trail is the weather app - but that's more just for awareness than anything else.
