I am looking for a trail navigation solution, both hardware and software. Features I would like:
1) Includes lots of trail maps. (For example, the marked/cleared stuff at Pachaug, HVD, Freetown, Big River, Arcadia, etc.)
2) GPS capability, so I can see the little dot where I am and not just flat maps
3) Ability to plan routes and then import them into the hardware device, regardless of whether or not the routes use the marked trails that are included on the maps. For example, I'd like to create and then import the Pachaug enduro loop, which probably includes some trails that are not "official," marked park trails
4) Ability to "record" my route while I am out there, so I can compare what I did vs what I expected to do
5) Ability to view maps, routes, and position offline using only GPS connection
6) Preferably all available in a mobile app
So far, I have been using a combination of things on my phone. I found an app that is good for 1 and 2 above, but I can't import routes. For the Pachaug loop, we had to use the published PDF of the loop to map it out on mapmyride, then we basically held 3 devices up side by side, one showing the route map on mapmyride, one showing our current position on google maps, and a Garmin watch showing the outline of the path we had taken. These three things allowed us to slowly figure it out. Surely there is a solution available that rolls this all into one?
