This latest release has stripped out all useful features and left us with just the maps. Old version: you could tap out a route and have a good estimation of how long your hike would be. New version: "Tap on starting point; tap on destination; heres the route to take!". When Google/Apple maps make you do that they at least tell you how far it is. I have to get a new phone, which means I will be losing the version I liked and will be back to planning hikes in the SNP with a paper map and a pair of dividers.

This WAS a very helpful app...
A hikers companion
Perhaps the best app to supplement your day hike or a weekend backpacking trip through SNP.
Excellent
I couldnt be more excited to have this app. Im looking forward to using the GPS feature while out bushwacking this winter.
Must have for SNP
Been waiting for this capability for some time. Not only having the PATC maps in digital form but being able to know precisely where you are on the trail is quite a benefit. Even with an expensive Garmin Unit you cant tell where you located on a specific trail because Garmin only has topo maps which do not have the trails. Thanks PATC, hope to see more of your maps digitized soon. I use this app with my iPod touch and the Bad Elf GPS accessory and it works great.
Great update
The update brought custom navigation to this already awesome app. Very helpful and fun to use... If youre spending a day or more in the Park area would highly recommend this app.
File Size is too Large
It seems to work fine, however the App itself takes way too much space. Not sure if its just the maps or all the photos ( I sure dont need to waste memory space storing PATC photos - Im out hiking to see my own photos) Would be nice to see them refine the app down to a more minimized amount of info - until then Ive removed the app. Would also like to use the app on my desktop computer to set routes that could be relayed to the phone app
Great
For those who use the PATC maps regularly or hike the SNP regularly, this is a must have. If you use this app as your only guide for a multi day hike (and I have), finding a way to conserve battery power can be an issue, but it can be done and performs wonderfully. Advice: learn how to use all the features and you will be much better off.
