Got lost once where i thought i couldn't. Chased a buck into a swamp & you guessed it. Took my iphone out & typed in the name of a little store 3 miles away & hit get driving directions. First leg was from where i was in the goods to the road. Followed it out either no problem. Just got an android & just learning how it works.

I have the Iphone 4 and I just bought the Cabelas recon app.  I use a map and compass, but I got the app because I thought it would be neat to play around with.  I was out scouting in an area with no cell phone reception (Talladega Nat. Forest, Alabama).  I pulled out the phone to see if it was working and all I got was a blank screen.  At the bottom of the app it said it was getting satellite signal.  

When I got back home and had cell phone signal, I opened the app and up popped the map of were I was.  Does the app work in areas with no cell phone signal?  Most of the areas I hunt have no signal.   :confused:   any thoughts?

Droid X2 / Cabelas Recon Hunter app update..... Been using it a lot lately and this puppy is pretty awesome. I think Garmin and others in the handheld GPS market are in trouble ??? I also tried the demo version of another app that is $10 and I think it might be even better than the $5 Cabelas app. Seems like the compass and waypoint pointer was much faster than the Cabelas. However, I am not using the compass page, instead using the live map which shows your location as a blue triangle and walking to my stands.
