For those that like to use their mobile phones as a GPS in the field, PDF maps by Avenza is a pretty good solution.
You can down free USGS maps from their \'store\', import geotiff\'s, geoPDF and GE kml files.
I used it last year on two hunts. On the first, I took an atlas map with the land boundaries marked, converted it into a geotiff, and was able to keep track of my location on the ranch without any cell phone coverage.
On the second, I converted the RFW maps into a geotiff, and was again able make sure I was on the ranch at all times.
I\'ll publish a basic video on how to use it, if their is enough interest.
This is my go to mobile device map app when I know I\'m going to be offline. Pretty darned good product for free.
