[pct-l] Android GPS Question

[Lindsey Sommer]

Hi Steven,

You might have seen this already, but shutterbug and his wife, Anna made a
nice post on their blog about this very subject. I think they use an
iphone, but gps kit and topomaps might also be available on android. I've
used them myself and find them to be great.
