Handy GPS 42.0

The perfect companion for your next outdoor adventure. Search, find, record and return home with handy GPS. This app is a powerful navigation tool designed for outdoor sports such as hiking, backpacking, mountain biking, kayaking, canoeing and horseback riding. It is also useful for surveying, mining, archeology and forestry applications.

This application is simple and works even in the most remote countries because it does not require a network connection. It allows you to work in UTM or latitude/longitude coordinates so you can even use it with your paper maps. You can view waypoints and track logs recorded in the field later on Google Earth.
