Garmin Montana Multi-purpose GPS

The Garmin Montana GPS is an "advanced Garmin handheld featuring a ruggedized design with multiple mounting and battery options, dual-orientation screen layout options and support for a wide range of Garmin cartography," states Garmin. Highlights include the option of using the unit's built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery, or three AA batteries; a built-in 5-megapixel camera, additional memory and map-loading with a microSD card, 3.5mm audio jack, and a waterproof rating.


The idea behind the Montana is to be a device that can get you to your destination like a regular dedicated car GPS using Garmin's tried and true City Navigator spoken turn-by-turn directions, then unclipping the device and taking it with you on the next leg of your trip, whether by boat, ATV, mountain biking, hiking, hunting, fishing, and more. If you need local topographic maps or lake or ocean charts, these may be purchased form Garmin and downloaded or plugged in as a microSD card.
Overall, this is an impressive new entry into an adventurous outdoor market segment that's been hankering for just this device. Backcountry and boating trips are usually bracketed by road trips, and the Montana, with its powered mount options, is the way to go.

Google Earth

The first thing to know about the Google Earth app, is that it is not Google Maps. Google earth is a global exploration and visualization tool, and is not intended for turn-by-turn navigation. As Google states, the Google Earth app lets you "fly around the planet" with a swipe of the finger.


Google is constantly increasing its inventory of 3D imagery and aerial photography, so you are able to view most major global landmarks in 3D, pan-and-sweep glory. A tour guide feature takes you through a pre-programmed virtual tour of locations and trips. Great for the armchair explorer and for trip planning.

Tripit - Travel Organizer

Frequent travelers know what a juggling act flight, hotel, rental and other bookings can be to track and organize. The Tripit app for iPad consolidates your travel plans, and automatically organizes them for you. Tripit combines your trip details to create a single, set-format itinerary on your iPhone or iPad that gets synced across your i-devices, as well as the Tripit.com website.


To build your Tripit itinerary, simply forward confirmation e-mails from flight, hotel, rental car, rail, event, and other types of travel confirmations to a Tripit e-mail address, and it will build your schedule and even keep friends, family, or co-workers informed, if you wish. Tripit also includes a built-in turn-by-turn-directions navigation app to help you reach your destinations, right from your itinerary.
A Tripit Pro version will update you on flight status, consolidate your frequent flyer information, and monitor your travel plans for any unexpected changes or delays.

Backpacker Map Maker

The Backpacker Map Maker fulfills the incredible potential of iPad to make detailed topographic map use and planning easy and effective. Backpacker Map Maker by Trimble Navigation (a long-established GPS and mapping firm) provides access to 68,000 downloadable topographic maps in the U.S. and Canada.


Once you have downloaded the maps for your destination, you may mark waypoints by touch drag-and-drop, use a virtual ruler to measure distances, overlay a digital compass, and display and copy exact coordinates. Once you have planned a trip, you may sync it to Backpacker Trip Cloud and access it from any Internet-connected device. You may also print maps, or export them in GPX mode. A dual-map mode lets you overlay maps (such as a Bing aerial view map over a topo).

Detailed street maps of an entire country or region are stored on your phone, so you can plan routes and get driving or walking directions without a mobile internet connection.
