Camper. How to use the iPhone 4 as a GPS mapping device for backpacking. Back to Adventure Alan’s Ultralight Backpacking Home Page: This contains a wealth of information on backpacking with gear lists, trip reports, backpacking techniques for various weather and environments (cold rainy weather, alipine hiking, desert hiking), etc. While focused on lightweight backpacking, much of the content applies to all styles of backpacking. The iPhone is a viable tool to use as a GPS and mapping device for backpacking trips worldwide. In many ways it is superior to traditional mapping GPS units like the Garmin Oregon. This post will tell you how to get the most of your iPhone as a backpacking GPS. The method for using the iPhone for backpacking is to use apps that let you preload the appropriate maps and data files over WiFi. When you are out on the trail without WIFI or cell service, you can use the preloaded maps along with the iPhone’s GPS. If you already own an iPhone, then the cost of using it as a GPS/Mapping device for backpacking is very reasonable.
