AlpineQuest turns your Android device into an off-road GPS using offline topo maps. It is a complete solution for all outdoor activities and sports, including hiking, running, trailing, hunting, sailing, geocaching and much more.
The app allows you to access and store locally a large range of online topographic maps, which will remain available even while being out of cell coverage. AlpineQuest also supports on-board file based maps, like MemoryMap maps.
By using the GPS and the magnetic sensor of your Android device (with compass display), you will never get lost. You are localized in real-time on the map, which can also be oriented to match where you are looking at.
You can save and retrieve landmarks, and share them with friends. Track your path, get advanced statistics and interactive graphics.
