When it's time to turn around


I always want to walk to the next bend in the trail, or top of the next hill, to see what I didn’t hike to. Know what? There’s an app for that!

With the My Tracks app, I can see without going there. There is a map of where I am and where I’ve been.


There are stats for how far I’ve walked and how long I’ve been out.


There is even a plot of speed versus altitude.


Of course, I still hike to the top of the next hill before I turn around, but sometimes I get to pick out things on the map that I didn’t know were there and adjust my hike. If there is ever a question about which way to go to get back to where I started(not that that would ever happen), it’s right there. I love this app!
