• Retirement thru-hike

  It's tough to get lost. Get the FarOut app. https://faroutguides.com/. Source: 12 months ago

• Food and water on NJ section of Trail

  If you don't have any guide book that calls out water and re-supply opportunities, allow me to recommend the "AWOL Guide". I'd argue it's the best $20 you can spend if you're new to AT hiking. Also if you have a smartphone, you don't want to be without Guthook/FarOut. Source: 12 months ago

  The good resource is Far Out Guides. Are you planning to self-shuttle or hire someone to drive you? It's best to meet your shuttle driver where you plan to finish and have them drive you to the start. That way you finish at your car. Source: over 1 year ago

• Question about section hiking New Jersey

  Far Out app - Offline GPS phone app showing similar things as the AWOL guide, but also includes up to date comments from other hikers and using GPS will tell you mileage till the next water source, shelter, etc. Source: over 1 year ago

• Show HN: I made an offline-ready hiking trail companion app

  Looks very nice! Do you know https://faroutguides.com/ (formerly GutHook)? They have offline-friendly paid maps of a lot of the largest scenic trails in America. I hiked the Appalachian Trail last year and FarOut was standard kit. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Looking for a replacement for our fleet of Blackvue dashcams

  With our current setup the vehicles get back to the garage at the end of the day. The dashcams stay powered up for a few hours. They connect to our company wifi. A script on a server queries the dashcams and downloads both LQ and HQ videos, along with the matching gps files. The gps files are uploaded to our web server that allows users to view them through gpsvisualizer.com. Source: 5 months ago

• Height Map for a Small region

  Hi everyone, I am game developer and I am recreating an Institute in a game it's roughly 750x750m, I need a source where I can get elevation data to recreate terrain in the game engine. I tried using the path in google earth pro, and convert it to .gpx etc using gpsvisualizer.com etc, but I couldn't get good results. I also tried using global mapper pro but it's still not much helpful, I spent 3 weeks... Source: about 1 year ago

• Show HN: I made an offline-ready hiking trail companion app

  I haven't tried MapLibre. I'm learning that there are lots of alternatives to Google Maps and Mapbox which I love to see. I learned of Leaflet through GPS Visualizer[1]. It's an excellent resource. They also have a tool that will augment your GPX file with elevation data[2], though I'm not sure what source they use. According to their site: > Complete copies of the SRTM3 and USGS NED databases, as well as a large... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
