New Cabela's mapping smartphone app
Hi guys,
I thought this looked SUPER useful for outdoorsman in general, and for trip planning. They designed it for hunters but it seems useful for other things. I like that it has maps of your choice stored localy on the phone, so you can be out of network range and still use the maps. You can mark your waypoints and such. It might make the smartphone a contender for replacing handheld GPS

Works for iphone and andriod.
Anyone know of any competing apps?

I'm going to have to try mapdroyd. Backcountry seems pretty good so far.
Anything that helps track position and destination in the back country will work for me.
There are also a few more "pure" gps apps that I haven't tried yet, but they don't seem to have the map part. They seem more appropriate for geologists or something.

MotionX lets you download maps make way points..
also you can track your run and you get a google map link like this one

ive come across a new app that is much like the motion x one... its called AccuTerra... pretty wicked... downside is that it saves the maps to your physical memory, so its a HD Hog...
ill be upgrading my phone soon, so i will keep my current 32g 3GS iPhone as strictly a music/GPS device...
