To add, I don’t have the navigation app up and running very much or the time, maybe use it 5% or the time hiking.


Another thing we use the iPhone for is weather updates when cell signal is available. It shows an enhanced radar/satellite imagery with fronts, wind stream, lightning strikes, pressure zones and more. This information can affect our routes. This is only needed once in a blue moon kind of thing. The mountains can really show what the watershed phenomenon is all about. Lol creeks can go from dry to flashing in an instant. We can make other plans and keep from getting cut off by hydrology gone haywire. Been there done that.
