I second this. Gutthook and Halfmile apps are great for navigating but eTrails provides something different. Like Susan, I really enjoyed reading about the geology, plants and history. In some senses it is different than any other guidebook. With the GPS and PCT mileage, David can point to specific trees or landmarks. With normal guidebooks you can get a sense of the botany but eTrails can let you know exactly where on the trail that unique conifer is or something else of interest. Now that it covers the rest of the PCT it is even better. Thanks, Rover
