[pct-l] Android phones and Maps and Hammocking

[Ed Jarrett]

I have been using a Droid phone with Backcountry Navigator, loading the halfmile waypoints into the app.  This has worked out well so far.  I also carry the appropriate section of a FS map to have a high level view of where I am.
I have also used a hammock from Seiad Valley north and plan on doing so down to Sierra City this year.  No problems so far.
