Handy GPS v41.5

The perfect companion for your next outdoor adventure. Seek, find, record and return home with Handy GPS. This app is a powerful navigation tool designed for outdoors sports like hiking, bushwalking, mountain biking, kayaking, boating, and horse trail riding. Its also useful for surveying, mining, archaeology, and forestry applications.

It's simple to use and works even in the remotest back country since it doesn't require network connectivity. It allows you to work in UTM or lat/lon coordinates so you can even use it with your paper maps. Waypoints and track logs recorded in the field can be be viewed later in Google Earth.
