  • Yeah, accidentally got the alarm too. I think it started a countdown to actually dialing 911, but didnt make it to 0 before i cancelled it. Well, I hope thats what it was anyways. Freaked me out.

    Then I started thinking about if it did that when I was actually in trouble. I mean, if i was being held at gunpoint, I don’t think I want a giant alarm going off. I worry that would be a great way to get myself shot.

    But, then I was ultimately thankful for it, in the circumstance at least, cause then it definitely would have dialed 911 and wouldn’t have known…

    I still wish there was a way to call silently though. Or, maybe there is, but im not gonna purposefully get to the point where I could find out.





  • I would maybe check out Hiking project if your in North America. It looks really similar to all trails, except you have to download particular areas. The drawback is that the user input is almost nonexistent on smaller, local trails. More popular trails have some good info though. This definitely seems like it has promise.

    Then theres Farout (formerly guthook) - I’ve heard this app mentioned alot as the preferred way to navigate trails like the AP or CDT. It costs money, and it’s not cheap, but you can download the app and continue as a guest and check put some of the free maps they provide.
