Out of the three free population discovery services I could find (NASA SEDEC,etc and this), none of them could offer a Google Maps overlay. They all use OSM. I feel like the former offers more detail. In future I wish that you would consider adding a Google Maps overlay On 24th Janu...
Helicopters are not allowed to fly below the rim on the canyon – in fact they have to remain at a certain elevation about it – so that portion of our day unfortunately had to be cancelled (fortunately, it also had to be refunded, so it didn’t end up being a waste of money). We...

The developers created the app with hikers in mind. All the maps have elevation measurements and latitude and longitude coordinates for your location are provided in both degrees and UTM-WSG84. You can also load other users' routes and get an audible alarm if you stray too far away from whe...
just above a marshy area 10 feet from the water. If you look at our coordinates, Google Maps actually show us as in the water. Very cool spot and felt very safe. The nearby hotel had a security guard but he didn’t seem to mind us. It got very cold though. Elevation: 12,500 ...
A free campsite in Sawtooth National Forest in Idaho Once you’ve found a spot you want to camp using one of these apps, open up Google Maps to get directions. I like to use satellite view to zoom in to see if I can tell anything else about the campsite. For example, if there’...
