Backcountry GPS App?

[lava]

My old Garmin barebones gps guides me to alpine lakes way out in the backcountry by giving me a simple graphic w/a straight line to my destination, a superimposed direction arrow, and a distance number. I like this. So I have two questions:

- If I go "off grid" where there are no streets, will Google Maps app revert to a similar mode?

- If not, is there an app that will do this for me?

Thanks!

Doesn't that just track you? Not guide you off the road?

if it DOES guide you, I'm getting it!



Debated it for weeks.

I already have My Tracks. I don't see any guiding capability in it.

Trimble Outdoors might be a good one. They need some polish though, gotta tap each tile to get it to save the map for offline viewing. However the Droid rocks at GPS w/out cell service.

Groundspeak is also working on an official Geocaching client too btw. I'm one of their beta testers, I haven't been given the go ahead to post screenshots yet because their UI isn't finalized but the app will be fantastic.
