Planning aid — not a guide or rescue service. GPX lines, checklists, forecasts, and altitude readouts support your judgment. Trails, weather, permits, and illness can change faster than any app. Download offline map packs before signal ends; fresh weather and Streets/Satellite tiles need network. SMS SOS sharing needs cellular texting — not satellite.
