Quick shoutout for Trail Sense for Android. Designed to function offline, lots of cool navigation/basic tools I haven’t used outside of the GPS and compass, reasonable permissions, etc. One of those “You don’t know how useful it is until you don’t have connectivity” things.
Excellent! I tried a couple trail apps for iPhone without any luck - they didn’t have local trails or cost too much for how occasionally I’d use it. Lately I have been doing short local hikes on well marked trails, so it’s not really a need
Worst case scenario, download a compass app for your phone, but watch out for scams that will require heavy network traffic
iPhone/appleWatch may have one already, but I don’t know about android
iOS has a built in compass app.
So does Android. This phone is old and it’s on the edge menu (Samsung).
