Description
Superior Trail Guide is the all-in-one app for the Superior Hiking Trail in northeastern Minnesota.
Thru-hikers, day hikers, volunteers, friends and family, future hikers, or arm-chair hikers and trail enthusiasts will all find something useful.
For Hikers: • Most up-to-date trail and town data crowdsourced by thousands of hikers. See water reports, snow conditions, stream crossing water levels, bus schedules, restaurant and lodging reviews, and more. • Any user can add waypoints, photos, comments, update descriptions, and edit any content in the app, in real time. Think Wikipedia! • Download topo maps, road maps, and satellite images for offline use. • Navigate using GPS while in Airplane mode. Everything in the app works while offline after the initial data download. • View elevation profiles and compute distances to locations along the trail. • Share your location (optional) and see where others are on the trail. • See a real-time feed of contributions other hikers are making. • Search the map by name or point type, search the activity feed by hiker name, location, or type of edit.
For Friends and Family: • Track the location of your hiker on the trail.
For Trail Maintenance Crews and Land Management Agencies: • See real-time hikers reports of trail damage, blowdowns, and infrastructure maintenance needs (e.g., washed out bridges).

★★★★★
This was a great app to use for actually hiking the Superior Hiking Trail,
a foot path on the North Shore of Lake Superior in Minnesota. Plan ahead,
get the app and download the maps that you need ahead of time. Then when
you get to the trail, you're going to have the maps available offline. I
recommend bringing a battery pack since running the GPS and the screen on
your phone will drain the battery something fierce. I used the app only to
check progress every few hours and confirm trail junctions. As always, make
sure you are familiar with the trail and navigation prior to embarking.
★★★★★
Unable to download off line maps. Never get past 48%. Tried for 2 days and now giving up. 10/2- revising my review. Awesome app. Downloads not necessary. On the trail now for 7 days and use this frequently. Kudos to the developer. 20 days to go!
★★☆☆☆
I would love for this app to knock it out of the park as a secondary navigation aid, but the map packs end up causing a real problem. After a few attempts at downloading the offline maps, only to be timed out, I turned off my screen's standby and watched the whole topographic map download. Imagine my horror when I saw the meter tick down to "Downloading: 8841/8841," only to reset back to 0/8841. Again, if this gets fixed, this review is jumping straight to 5 stars.
★★☆☆☆
Cannot add points or plan your trip without signing into Google. The app NEVER connects it, always says Unable to Contact Server. Unresolved through support.
