I'm a new convert to the Viewranger app. It doesn't rely on a 'phone signal and can do more than Google Maps, such as route planning and tracking. The free version has ads but I'm in the UK and chose to download the OS (Ordnance Survey) 1:25000 maps for the whole of the UK as an in-app purchase at approx $30 for the year and as a bonus, no more ads. Excellent value!
I use all trails. Great app. Free version and upgraded version for $30 a year. I just purchased the upgraded version cause its on sale for this weekend for $15.00. Great tip for google maps. I didn't know I could do that. Thanks for sharing.
As a newbie to the Jeep community I am doing a lot of research to get ready to go hit the trails, appreciate the information and it was something I never knew about. Thanks keep up the good videos they have been helpful for me.
Very helpful. I thought the first three minute contained good advice. People who grew up with digital maps may not appreciate what happens when batteries die, things get wet, things get dropped, etc. Smart phones are awesome but I'm not going too far off road without a real map. Good tips.
THANK YOU! I have been struggling with my current GPS system and this will make a world of difference! Love the option of saving an area to be able to use later "off line". Very helpful!
Thanks again. I'm going to use your tips this weekend. A buddy of mine are taking our Jeeps down to Ouray and Telluride Colorado for 4 days. This will come in handy.
I realize I’m responding to an old post but thank you! I’ll try to answer my question on my own but I don’t know why the saved maps expire in 29 days? Hope there is a way to just save indefinitely. Headed for solo off-road in Los padres Forrest in a couple weeks. If anyone see vultures circling that will be me! 5:09
i know Im asking randomly but does anybody know of a method to get back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid forgot the login password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me!
Helpful, because always a pain to figure out how to do this stuff and it keeps changing too! But was enough info here to help me figure it out / remember how to do it. Thanks JB
Thank you for this. I'm always just a blue dot in a sea of gray with no reception out on the trails. Luckily signposting here is very good but this info is worth it's weight in gold.
Thank you for the tip. Very useful. I can add that it is useful when traveling overseas. The cellular data is expensive abroad, so downloading a map of a city in Europe via hotel wifi for a day trip will be handy.
Good video...For many years we have used a Garmin Etrex and it is stable and has never failed. I did try my Android phone as suggested and it was a pain. The screen keeps changing. I tried pinning it but it was not as simple as the Etrex which has been specifically made for the job. Never the less a great video and handy to know. Many thanks.
I was very happy to watch this video today. I was just trying to figure out how to do this a few days ago, but couldn't figure it out. Thanks for the info.
Just mounted my huge iPad pro 12.9 on a tack-form mount. It's AWESOME. Currently waiting for my Garmin GLO 2 so my iPad has GPS ability for positioning. Weird, I remember watching this video, and definitely liking it. Seems TH-cam is taking away my older likes?
Google maps is definitely one of my top 3 iphone apps. Offline ability is icing on cake, and the app's driving directions with voice is retained, all great when in weak or zero cell coverage areas.
You did a nice job explaining this. I love it when people can explain something simple n a different context of what I might have thought of. I am going to post your URL to a few yahoo groups I know. Bill Z
Wow, nice to have a San Diegan here. I am literally packing up the YJ for a weekend on Palomar Mountain, the exact example you gave. I just downloaded the maps on Google Maps. I'll wave if I see you up there.
I use Google maps but have figured out how to use it w out using data. Find your location in maps, click directions but don't hit start. Google will show where your at but won't give you directions but all you have to follow the blue line. You can hit start directions if you get a complicated area then cancel out of it yet continue to navigate.
Thank you for all the information I'm one of those guys who didn't know i I really like your presentation keep up the good work I remember my first I think it was a Garmin cost me $1,500 it took me 30 days to figure it out written buy Asians great job keep up the good work
I just wanted to add that when you do this the driving (directions work) "within the saved map" bring up directions and tell or type where you want to go, the directions will come up and just hit start and your route is voiced to you. I LOVE Google!
Cool info. Did not know you could do that. I am a paper and compass type and still have a flip phone if you get me. You mentioned Ramona and Black Canyon. Pretty cool to watch another local.
Very helpful video, thanks! It looks like Google My Maps has changed up a bit. Perhaps another video to describe how to now use it for off road navigation?
just purchased it today for my dads Trail Tech GPS- I hope it loads and can view the routes/tracks. I'm planning on importing it to my Gaia as well if that works.
I use topo maps on my nexus, doing the same thing downloading the maps so I can use them offline. I have a ram mount in my jeep that holds the tablet so it works awesome.
I need to buy a few cases of garbage bags around Hopkins Minnesota where do I go I need to find a store that sells cases of garbage bags for the lawn leaves
Thanks for taking the time to do this. I've been using Google Maps since they first allowed offline usage, but still have to use another program to map new trails I discover. I wish Google would add a record feature, but I suppose that would put all the paid GPS app people out of business lol.
@@Geeios1 thanks been pulling my hair out trying to get guy in phone shop to conceive that this was even possible. do you know any vids that show it in use now or in the past few years?

Thanks for that. Coincidentally we were at Mt Palomar in 2003 in an RV - very nice place to visit!
Was watching your older videos, took a minute to figure this out with the updates since this was released, good to know. Thank you.

A 4 day trips sounds amazing... have a great time!

Learning this for the first time in June 2019, thanks bud!! So easy. Video was concise and really well cut.
I didn't know about it. I'm planning to go for overnight hiking tomorrow, so this information is helpful. Thank you!!!
Thanks - we're doing some EASY wheeling this summer at Moab and this helps.
Thank you for the heads up with Google maps. I used the offline function today and loved it. Have a good weekend.
I knew it before but you have just made me MORE aware of using it! Thanks...!!!
Excellent, thanks for watching!
Great tip. Thanks.
Cheers from France.

Learned something new and important. Many thanks!
Your welcome!
No doubt! Thanks for the Tip.

Thanks for your videos it’s really helpful. But I need a good map for mountaineering!
Another well done and informative video. Thanks for showing this.
Thank you sir!

Can’t wait to try this out....I’m still learning Gaia with my iPad....so I can map a trail out then follow myself on the maps.
Never mind, I got it. Thank you very much for the great info
This vid was lovely!
I use a tablet for my navigation. It is gps enabled so I navigate and set way points and record different areas for future adventures.
Great content and thanks for the tips!!
Very helpful thanks
Hell, I learned this just now. Thank you.

I use topo maps on my nexus, doing the same thing downloading the maps so I can use them offline. I have a ram mount in my jeep that holds the tablet so it works awesome.
Right on man, thanks for the comments!
Google where can I buy garbage bags
Garbage bag?
I need to buy a few cases of garbage bags around Hopkins Minnesota where do I go I need to find a store that sells cases of garbage bags for the lawn leaves
Ram mounts are the bees knees , cats pajamas, tits on glass and slicker than hammered catshit
Brilliant - thanks mate.
Thanks I have learned something new from you. Good on you
Excellent. Thank you.
Thank you. I'm going to step it up from using sticks and shadows ;)
LOL.... sticks and shadows will never run out of battery power!
😅
Thanks Brad...very helpful!!

Um, it does have that option. Under the menu its call my contributions.
@@Geeios1 thanks been pulling my hair out trying to get guy in phone shop to conceive that this was even possible. do you know any vids that show it in use now or in the past few years?
Great tip !
Thanks! I just used this to download Big Bear valley for biking/off-roading 2N08 and Skyline trail, sure beats the outdated paper maps.
Right one! Have a good time out there!
Thanks very much for the info
