iphone app that works in the bush

i got this iphone app for sleding it has some neat features that ppl might make some use out of. it works off a satalite so u dont need service and it tracks top speed,and your location thoughout the day. you can check it out and maybe show us your trail for the day it is called ski tracks and is free shawn

Shawn that's alright be neat to know real speed an to track where ya been

That is pretty cool I have been looking for a app like that. I was wanting to do away with having a iPod and GPS Wich I'm not very good at using the iPhone apps seem clearer and easier to use this way I could combine the iPod for music and GPS all together.

GPS mounted in your dash gives you all that info, plus more. LOL!

That is a cool app, I would like to have it for when I'm not in the Rhino.

Thanks for sharing Shawn.

My garmin must be old im not sure it tracks top speed i also like u can take a screenshot and send a good route to other riders.

I had an app like that once but the only problem was is it ran all the time. It would suck the life out of your battery on your phone. Later I figured out you could turn the app off to save your battery. Never installed it again. Went and bought off road garmin

Do You guys have any luck getting satellite signal in the woods on Your phone ? I tried a different app like this and could not get enough signal to track. Would love to have have , if it works !

i guess i never noticed it being sparatic we only have sask bush here tho no 100 foot trees where i ride the battery drain is the shits i use my phone for music too so its mostly pluged in anyway Whats the model of your off road garmin i could use a new one?

I downloaded the app ! Will try it this weekend under the trees !

I have a Garmin Etrex 20 that has good reception in the forest and excellent battery life. Garmin even claims good reception under tree canopies. I use it for Geocaching, you can load maps and all the cache info into it from a computer. It also gives you a lot of cool info like the above mentioned app.

Lol on the goecashing. I live close to a military base and found one of those sticking out the side of a hill inside a waterproof ammo box tied to a wire, i guess to keep it in place. We were drinking quite abit and i thought it was a bomb. Took us nearly an hour to get the courage to open it. Stupid mushrooms never helped

Good find.

I use Every Trail on my Droid. It keeps up with info like speed and elevation as you go and uploads it to their webpage when you finish riding and overlays it on Google Earth.
