Backpacker brings the outdoors straight to the reader's doorstep, inspiring and enabling them to go more places and enjoy nature more often. The authority on active adventure, Backpacker is the world's first GPS-enabled magazine and website, and the only outdoor media whose editors and network of map contributors personally map the hiking trails they publish.
Backpacker’s GPS Trails iPhone app doubles as a portable trip database and personal navigation device for your outdoor lifestyle: hiking, backpacking, mountain biking, trail running, mountaineering, or for just basic trail navigation.
Note: Backpacker GPS Trails is designed and optimized for the iPhone 3GS and 3G. The 1st generation models lack a GPS chip required to run the application. It also does not work on the iPod touch or iPad.
