>Post stories about using map (apps), and post app recommendations.
Searched a long time for a satellite map app that works offline. There's nothing out there. I just ended up using the [google maps] app that allows you to "kinda sorta" save satellite maps offline that work with gps. The outrageous thing is that it self deletes after a couple weeks. What kind of garbage is that?
While in the woods, I used the app to make sure if I was walking in a straight line. App doesn't allow you to mark your progress, so I had to make shit a system where every now and again I used the apps "ruler" features to mark the distances between my last check ups, making a line that shows my progress. All I can say is that despite the app being not the most desirable, it helped a lot. I was zig zagging like crazy without it.
While hiking in the forest you naturally take the path of least resistance - a few feet over this way, a few yards down this natural path - and bam, you're going in circles.

GPS Kit from Garafa. Costs $10 in the app store but it's totally worth it.

This. get yourself a decent compass and a topo map of your desired area and hike away. Garmin or magelan are awesome, no doubt about that, but using a real map is a whole new experience.
