TRUXterra Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Another great resource is the local ATV & Snowmobile clubs. Many of them have apps available to show the trails and most of these trails are passable for us (bridges not included ;) ). This is what we have been doing locally for the expolration of new trails!

Bad Dog Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 A bit of an update on the La Poile Trip : The "Dry Run" went well, no mechanicals. Yes, I did get stuck. Ferry is booked, roof rack is finished: More feedback from folks in the area advising that it is impossible to drive there. Not fussed by this. We'll give it a shot and if it doesn't work out we'll fish & drink! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackPrintz Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 I know that there was a discussion not too long ago about GPS apps. I went for a little exploration on Sunday and used MotionX-GPS on my iPhone. Incredible app, I did a loop of almost 50 miles and when I got back home I could share it to my Facebook page or with friends who also have the app. It graphed out my speed, elevation, and overlaid the trek on BingMaps. You can even add photos along your route which are linked to the coordinates. Be aware though that it's not a FREE app, it sells for $0.99 :king: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It worked excellent, very accurate B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackPrintz Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 It was kind of strange because I had no cell signal so there was no map on my screen while exploring but once I got back to an area with coverage, the map info filled in. The GPS functions fine without the cell coverage. Next time I do this, I'll try using my Canada Topo Maps and let the MotionX track my route.

autumnwalker Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Yup, I have been using Motion-X for about a year now - excellent app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
