[pct-l] galaxy s3

[William Canavan]

Robin,
I also have a Galaxy S3. I use the Backcountry Navigator Pro app (costs
$10).  I have Halfmiles maps and waypoints installed and they work great.
 On Halfmiles webpage the waypoints are in zip files.  To get them to your
phone you must download them to a computer, unzip the files, transfer the
files to the phones SD card, and then import the .gpx files into
Backcountry Navigator.  It works pretty slick.  Email me if you have
questions about the map app.

I have a new, fancy Android phone (Galaxy S3) and a couple of questions to
go with it.

1. Are there any versions of Halfmile's or Guthook's apps for Android, or
are they only for iPhone? Anyone know if these might be available for the
2013 thru-hiking season?

2. Anyone out there successfully blog from the trail using Blogger or
Wordpress along with an Android phone?

I've been trying some things out with both blog hosts - posting using their
apps, using email, etc... and none of them seem really easy to use. I
wonder if I'm doing something wrong. I like the blog via email option, but
it doesn't let me put photos in where I want them. They always just show up
at the top - and no way to caption them.

Is my only option to write up my blog text on trail, then publish with
photos when I get to a computer in towns? That's okay if it's the way to go
- I'll stop messing around with my phone and focus on other things... like
buying food. :)

Thanks!
