I've been wanting to try out just taking my phone (Galaxy S5) only on backpacking trips. I've been lazy and never picked a Map/Navigation app.
Do you guys know which mapping apps have free maps to download to your phone? Or do they all cost money? I'm ok with buying an app for $10-$25 if it includes free maps, but I hate getting nickled and dimed and having to pay a monthly / yearly fee...or having to pay for the app AND the maps.
The ones I was specifically looking at are:
Gaia
Backcountry Navigator Pro - I just started reading here this about this app.
Trimble Outdoors Navigator - actually installed this last night but LOOKS like it's $2.99/month to be Elite and be able to download maps.
