guru maps can never go wrong.Light, precise and so easy
You mentioned one phone having a map in Gaia and the other not due to data service. In case you weren't aware, you can download maps onto the phone within Gaia. So if you know where you will be going you can save the area to the phone ahead of time, then you have full map use even offline.
You make a very good point and I wish I had downloaded the maps on several occasions due to lack of service. I'm not sure if I mentioned it in the video or not but I'm using the free version and it won't let me download and maps. Great tip tho 👌
@@JasonOutdoors Ah, yes! that is a paid option. If you use the app much, it is definitely worth the cost though. You get some really good map options. 👍
What a great video. Makes me feel less crazy when the mileage I hike doesn't match a map or guidebook. Thanks for doing the leg work!
Thanks! I know what you mean, even measuring distance on Google Earth comes up different than what the GPS says. Leg work....yea pretty sore today after hiking in new shoes.
Jason Outdoors My actual miles NEVER match GPS or Guthooks!!
Even the trail markers were a little bit off. A couple were almost right on but a couple were a couple tenths off. Going by trail markers i went 12 miles but gps had me at 12.8 miles.
Nice video, I appreciate the comparison work. I too have the Oregon but I generally get two to three days out of a set of batteries on my backpacking trips and I am tracking, were they old rechargeables or something? I'm considering whether to drop the GPS or the phone from my gear, currently a giai gps and a Garmin basecamp subscriber.
Thank you. It's the rechargable batteries that came with it. It's always been power hungry from the start. Maybe I should try some other brands. I hardly use the Garmin anymore. I've had good luck using the hiking project app.
Nice... looks like a solid unit.
Great comparison! My ❤️ Activity on my iPhone is soooo different from Guthooks. But I noticed Guthooks now states linear miles. I think the activity app acts as a pedometer and not GPS miles?
Thank you! Personally I trust my Garmin's accuracy over my phone for the reason that I always track myself to my hunting location and its almost exactly the same every time. Even my track when loaded into google Earth matches almost perfectly to the trail. However battery life is the issue and for the slight difference in accuracy I would be satisfied with trusting my phone.
