Probably the best you can do price/value wise is a copy of Delorme Topo. There are a lot of apps out there, but for US/Canada coverage, decent backroad coverage and not horrible on price, that would be my recommendation. Right now Topo is going for $99, but I frequently see it on sale for $70...

I currently use a Targus auto power adapter...

Hope CM7 works well for you...I'm due for an upgrade soon and will likely retire my Atrix to be my work phone and get the S2 (I'm on ATT, we'll see how 2.3.4 works out of the box)...Post up an update here after you've used CM7 for awhile, might drive me to move over to it. Have you messed much...

I'll be at the Hollister event, and the Trasheroo is at the top of my list of stuff to get...hopefully someone brings at least one I can buy :)

I have basically what you are talking about, except mounted to my trailer and designed to be rolled around camp: As was said already, the weight is a major factor. The setup itself works perfect and depending on your deep cycle, you can power your fridge for days. IF you have someone to...

You officially suck :) I haven't tested lately, but my Atrix 4G (yeah right) down here in Vancouver usually gets 1.5mbs...I can't wait for AT&T to start turning on their LTE here!

You can also use Mobile Atlas Creator to download maps on your computer, save to your phone and not have to deal w/the slow downloads directly in the program.

Am gonna try and make the trek up from Vancouver (well, it's only a couple hrs, but still)...really up in the air as I have a late-Friday even I'm hosting at my house and may not be able to make it up by 11am.

I've seen TN but not used it myself. I've heard that it totally rocks, though! If I had it, I'd probably use it in place of my NatGeo TOPO maps (my understanding is it uses updated and higher-res USGS Quads). I'd likely still use Delorme Topo and Microsoft Mappoint (S&T), as I flip between...

Backcountry Navigator is generally the best-reviewed of the GPS/tracking/hiking app. The Samsung GPS units were notorious for being horrible, I think the Droid has a much better GPS unit, give it a try before you buy an external unit.

I think thinking that the most important tool you can have in the backcountry is a great mapping package is showing questionable judgement :) Brain > Map & compass (& know how to use) > Great mapping package > crappy mapping package > nothing

My Nook Color has the same problem - hypothetically, you can only sync/charge using their 'special' cable...and for some people their normal USB cables don't work. But for others, they've found cables that work - I was lucky and found that 2 of the 3 cables I got from Monoprice worked fine for...

This is funny, not because of the pain for you, but I'm sitting here watching the Seahawks and the new Droid commercial is all about how you don't need any wires to 'instantly transfer from your computer to your phone over 4G LTE' or something like that...that must be a good thing if it requires...

This is what I did with my Yakima box, with a 1" x1/8" flat bar inside to distribute the load. The bolts run through the flat bar, then the spacebooster, then the crossbar, and I use nylon wingnuts to secure it. I can have the box on/off in about a minute or two just by loosing the...

I have the Magma set (in 10pc) and I'm almost tempted to move it into the house and use it for my home stuff. Amazing quality and the finish is excellent. I think I paid $140 for my Magma set online at iMarine...looks like you can get the 7 piece set for $105 now...

Nice finds! I'm in the same boat (new license, looking for gear)...how did you confirm the units worked? Did you have the person you were buying them from hook them up and verify power on? How about Tx and Rx check? Just curious as I don't want to buy from CL and get home only to find out...

Hi Corey- Good app find! Here's another that I found in prep for my Technician's test last weekend, it has all the questions and randomly goes through the list. It will also give you a 'how many you've answered right' https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tango11.hamstudy I like it...

This should be great for charging a trailer battery no problemo. You should also run a separate 8ga ground wire as well, and fuse that. The trailer hitch itself doesn't act as a good ground conductor. The fuse on the ground is probably overkill, but it's only a couple bucks and the extra...

Yeah this seems like a pretty good idea...$25 to 'downgrade' might make it a pain if you are off/on...but if you need the extra plan features for one season, it's well worth it.

Delorme finally released prices for their different tiers of service for the InReach... http://blog.delorme.com/2011/09/19/delorme-inreach-details-and-test-run/ When I read that I thought 'Ouch!' then I did the math for my SPOT Connect: SPOT $99 annual $50 for the tracking/messages So...
