This is my handpicked list of tools for amateur radio operators and adventurers — from simple logging apps and programming utilities to offline navigation and mapping solutions for your next off-grid adventure. I have personally used all of these apps and programs.
OpenAndroMaps offers downloadable vector maps for smartphones and GPS devices for free.
These maps don’t need any internet access for operation and can be changed in style by downloadable map styles.
BackCountry Navigator PRO is a great customizable mapping software.
APRS COMPATIBLE (*beta)
It enables you to save a variety of maps for offline use and use the GPS in your Android device to navigate.
Great app that shares user submitted maps,trails and points of interest. Not many people publicly upload in my area, so don't expect to see those hidden trails nobody wants you to know about.
The fastest, easiest, bestest way to log your amateur radio operations on the go.
Pre-downloaded park and summit lists, multi-operation, log organization make submitting any log easy.
N3FJP’s Amateur Radio Software offers easy-to-use logging programs for general contacts and contests, including Field Day and has rig control integration.
