Try the app now
Try this app right now on your computer. You control the app with your mouse and keyboard to experience it like you would on your phone. Test drive this app before you buy.
How does this work?
Clicking the “Test drive now” button launches a copy of this app on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), a web service that provides on-demand compute capacity in the cloud for developers. When you interact with the simulated phone using your mouse and keyboard, we send those inputs over the Internet to the app running on Amazon EC2 — just like your mobile device would send a finger tap to the app. Our servers then send the video and audio output from the app back to your computer. All this happens in real time, allowing you to explore the features of the app as if it were running on your mobile device.
Follow the steps below to Test Drive this app in Chrome. These steps will disable the version of Flash included with Chrome and run Test Drive in a separate version of Flash.

Product Description
Product Description
Download free maps for offline use
Choose from a variety of map layers
Use the plus tab to add waypoints
Explore your world beyond the limits of roads and cell coverage. Plan and navigate your next outdoor adventure using Backcountry Navigator Pro and enjoy the benefits of reliable mobile mapping software. Preload different types of maps for your destination from a variety of online, public-domain map sources. Just because your mobile network is out of its comfort zone doesn't mean you have to be. Explore worry free.
Finding a Map: The Basics
Wherever you're going, Backcountry Navigator Pro offers map choices for the locations that interest you. View and download topographic maps, color aerial maps, open street maps, and more for anywhere in the U.S. and Canada.
To find a map for any location using Backcountry Navigator Pro, tap your phone's menu button and then tap the Maps option. View the available map options for each location category: Worldwide, US and Canada, Southern Europe, Western Europe, Central Europe, Oceania, and Microsoft Research Maps.
Downloading and Viewing Maps Offline
While traveling within your mobile network or with Wi-Fi access, downloading a map isn't necessary. Maps are displayed on your device from the internet as long as you have the Preview Enabled box checked. But this app isn't called Backcountry Navigator for nothing. There's a big and beautiful world out there and your cell coverage can't go everywhere you can.
Backcountry Navigator Pro allows you to download free maps and save them on your SD card, making them accessible even when your mobile signal isn't. This is ideal for backcountry activities or for travel in foreign countries where you'll disable your data or lack cell coverage.
Download only the part of the map you want. To download map tiles for offline use, toggle the sculpt button and touch and drag a box to define one or more rectangles on the screen. Choose the map layer you prefer and the max zoom, then click download. You're ready to explore.
A Full Outdoor Navigational App
Backcountry Navigator Pro provides a user-interface that makes it simple to find a location, mark waypoints, store data, record tracks, and compute trip pace. Use the small plus tag to add a waypoint to your map. Pinch to zoom and finger swipe for easy map navigation. Tap the small box in the upper right-hand corner and choose to view the compass, waypoint list, or trip stats.
Set your location and enable a track recording using the target icon in the upper left-hand corner. Trip Tracks uses GPS to record your total distance, total time, elevation gained, and elevation lost. Enter any additional notes in the description field.

This program is quite powerful as a companion to a full featured gps or as a standalone. Comes in handy when in the woods for seach and rescue, hunting or for fun. Accurate and reliable even when out of cell range. Thanks!

I'm very involved in K9 wilderness Search & Rescue and having such an excellent topo and aerial mapping application right on my phone is awesome! Backcountry Navigator incorporates several different map types and offers high quality topo and aerial maps, using both lat/lon and UTM grid references which is a very important feature for me. The great maps, in addition to GPS tracking and waypointing, make this a very valuable tool for my SAR toolbag.

Amazon Verified Purchase
I have been using BCN on my Axim/Windows 5.0 and HTC HD2 /Windows Mobile 6.5.3 for years now and it has been extremely good. I have used it extensively for hiking and backpacking. Now I am running Android 2.3.3 on my HD2, with the new version of BCN and I am just as happy. I have tried several of the other GPS softwares out there but none is as good as BCN. The developer/programmer is the most responsive of any I have ever seen. He is constantly updating the software and adding new features, driven by user feedback. This is the model by which all other software developers should compare themselves.

Didn't like it.
I think this one is my fault for purchasing. I think it is more of an app for people who go hiking and camping rather than driving on the highways.
