Back Country GPS app

[GaryO]

Hi all
Just wondering if anyone has used this app , it basically allows you to use you mobile device has a gps/ mapping system solely via satellite without the need for mobile coverage.
I have downloaded some free maps onto my tablet already but would like to know if there are third party ones available out there.
The app costs $12 and is good value compared to hundreds in buying a sole purpose unit.

I use GPSMotionX it saves maps for offline use and uses google and bing satellite images, which you can choose between.
It also tracks your movement and gives info such as speed over ground, altitude etc.
can drop weighpoints and measure distances.

It is a great free app and I use it on my ipad.

Memory map is also good and also free.
