mophie Outdoor for Pc

I recently took my iPhone 4S equipped with the this app Edition battery pack and app on a weekend splitboarding adventure in bitter (subzero) conditions. As expected, the unit had trouble aquiring a GPS signal in some stormy weather and thick trees but, when I did have GPS signal, the app did a great job tracking and finding our current location. The stats feature came in handy when it came time to review elevation profiles. The real key and beauty to this app is in the downloadable offline topographic maps. Without the topographic maps pre installed on your phone, you are dependent on a cell tower/data signal to show your area in fine detail. Get a subscription and download the detailed quadrants before you head out! It's great being able to use the iPhone as another navigation tool on my backcountry adventures and not have the need for a cell tower signal. You can also use the app to import and export KML/KMZ files allowing you to plan or review your tracks on Google Earth or other navigation software. The only gripe I have is the stats feature does not allow for an elevation profile of imported preloaded tracks. Only for tracks that were completed using the unit can statistics such as elevation profile be displayed. All in all, a great app! I recommend it to those who like to get outdoors and want to trim down their gear, by combining their phone & GPS into one.

Please people, stop with all of the "I don't need my Garmin outdoor GPS anymore" comments. I have a whole bunch of iPhone outdoor apps that I love, that work pretty well and that I use for planning my trips. But when I'm out in the backcountry and I'm hiking for hours or days, I do not rely on my iPhone for everything. That's why a good Garmin outdoor GPS cost a few hundred dollars. It's for those times that you really glad you bought it. So it's great to praise this app (which, incidentally, is not nearly as good as many other mapping apps like AllTrails, Backpacker, Gaia or the National Geographic trails app, even) it's halfway decent and is nice looking. They just need to make it more readable, to me. My rant is over. Thank you.

Update...2 more weeks have passed and I still haven't received tech support and inadvertently I ordered a new subscription because their web interface is so poorly done...neotreks, the app developers are totally unrespnsive. Don't waste your money on the app or on the this app edition. Buy the cheaper case. The the app case is great, but I have yet to get the maps to work. Despite 2 weeks working through customer and technical support, still no luck. Inadvertently bought a new subscription. Arghhhhh. I am tech saavy, but the process is confusing. So disappointed. Want to recommend, but I can't.

Don't buy the set up for many reasons but mostly because it does not work. I purchased this app three years ago and it worked great but subsequent Apple operating system upgrades have left this app useless. IT DOES NOT WORK. also on my third the app battery. Two were replaced under warranty for different issues but now the one I have does not work and out of warranty by two months and they won't replace. Bad product and customer service.
