AlpineQuest Explorer Lite Description
No advertisements ~ No data sharing & monetization ~ No analytics ~ No third party libraries

AlpineQuest is the complete solution for all outdoor activities and sports, including hiking, running, trailing, hunting, sailing, geocaching, off-road navigation and much more.

You can access and store locally a large range of on-line topographic maps, which will remain available even while being out of cell coverage. AlpineQuest also supports many on-board file-based raster map formats.

By using the GPS and the magnetic sensor of your device (with compass display), getting lost is part of the past: you are localized in real-time on the map, which can also be oriented to match where you are looking at.

Save and retrieve unlimited placemarks, share them with your friends. Track your path, get advanced statistics and interactive graphics. You won’t have anymore questions about what you can accomplish.

By staying fully operational out of cell coverage (as often in mountain or abroad), AlpineQuest assists you in all your desires of deep wilderness exploring…

Don’t hesitate, use this Lite version right now for free!

Comments about AlpineQuest Explorer Lite Android Version
Best outdoor navigation app GAIA is pretty good and has more maps available (but that doesn't mean you can use all of them offline). But Alpine is lightweight and does everything you need. Buy the pro version and you can download maps for offline use. Pro version ships with basic maps. USGS Sattelite (meh, OK), USGS Topo, and some others. You can load GPS files onto this. TIP: Check out the windows program MOBAC for generating offline maps to use with this app. Highlyrecommend! !
This is perhaps the best app for a hiker available in the market. I only found one problem during navigation. If the screen turns off for about 10 seconds, and you turn it on again, the GPS freezes in the last position. That is rather annoying. I tried letting work in the background, auto on, remove the battery saver. I could not solve the problem. Could it be possible to adapt the program in such a way that if the GPS slider is active, the program reactivates the GPS any time the screen is on?
I found this app while looking for a replacement for Viewranger, which I've been using for many years. It is the best outdoor navigation app for Android bar none. Small, fast, and with an interface that is obviously designed by people that use it outdoors in anger on a daily basis. Highly recommended and the Pro version is well worth your money.
