[pct-l] Question about Halfmile's smartphone app

[Ron Graybill]

I find the application still very useful even if it doesn't have offline
maps. It keeps me on the trail and tells me just how far off and in what
direction I am if I wander off trail. Also very helpful in telling me what
the next landmark is and how far it is.
