year-end holidays? Perfect day for a walk, biking, camping, exploring and sightseeing. These experiences may be better if you use applications, which offer plenty of options.
For example, compasses. There are many applications in stores, but the 2D Level Android is perfect in its simplicity and because it does not overwhelm with advertising. In fact, shows no advertising at all.
sometimes go camping or to a more or less extensive hike carries some risks, and requires a number of skills. The First Aid application of the Red Cross is an example, as it offers instructions for almost any emergency that may arise. It is available for iOS and Android.
Meanwhile, the SAS Survival Guide application of Trellisys explains in detail how to light a fire, navigating by the stars, finding water, signs, codes and more. Significantly which comes in versions lite (free) and commercial. Also, e t is available for Android, iPhone and Windows Phone 7, but only in English. Spanish is an option on the Survival Manual Restart.
A key maps will always help. Those of Google now also allow downloading sectors to access them offline (it is rare that we have good connectivity during our outdoor activities).
Other two good options are offline maps apps Here and popular Maps.Me. Here is present in all platforms, and Maps.Me for iOS, Android and BlackBerry.
One of the best advantages of walking, running or biking with the smartphone is that, thanks to the GPS, we can register our travels, keeping statistics and create tours. This is the case of My Tracks and My Route, which also allows to associate pictures to the tours.
For cyclists are Urban and Road Bike Biker. Both serve the same purpose: to record our bike tours (including maps) and provide statistics. But each one is better in one respect. Urban Biker (Android) is perfect as board real-time information. Reports from the speed and duration of the ride to the distance, energy consumption, altitude and a long list of other values.
It stops when we stop moving and detects when the courses are too short to worth saving. Besides this app does not ask personal information or require registration on a site; important because it could reveal any our routines.
Road Bike, Android and iPhone, meanwhile, although asked us to register, makes this a must (as many other applications of this type in stores), and shines not only in the statistics showing abundant but also clear and very visual way to display them.
