Trail Buddy is a GPS location tracking application designed for walking, hiking or biking. It is also suitable for geocaching and other activities that benefit from GPS and mapping. Trail Buddy supports setting and locating waypoints, which you can pre-set or mark with the current location along a trail. Photos are now a first-class feature of waypoints.

Trail Buddy is now completely FREE – no trial mode and no advertising!

KEY FEATURES
•	Start, stop, pause tracking and view current information on one easy-to-read Home page
•	View summary Stats at any time for the whole track or for individual segments
•	Change run options, unit formats and map options from Settings pages 
•	Pre-define and display Waypoints (a.k.a. points of interest) or capture your current position along a trail or directly off a map
•	Take pictures from the Waypoints page using the fast built-in camera support
•	View the Map page to view your track and waypoints on a map (road, aerial or hybrid)
•	Find your way to any waypoint setting the special marker as your target destination

    Works great.

    Great app when it works.
  • by Jeff 1/31/2013
    We are using the app for hiking and have found it is very accurate, even in areas far off major roads. It's good.
  • by Sandy 1/25/2013
    Not very accurate.
  • by User 1/7/2013
    Would not actively show my position. Was about 1-2 city blocks off. Not very good. Walked for 2 miles and the app indicated 293 yards.

    Easy to use, simple, yet does all the basic things I want from a trail tracking app.

    Great application to track trails. Decent integrations with GPS and maps. Overall very useful.

    Sucks. Couldn't find me on a trail. What good is a trail app that cannot use the phone's GPS for location?

    Handy application for hikes or walking around the neighborhood. Waypoints are useful as is lat/long/altitude and elapsed time/distance traveled. I like the map view!
