Sometimes you’re trying to find a campsite, sometimes you’re just looking for your car in a parking lot. Whatever it is, countless navigation apps are fruitless if you’re not parked on a road. Aiming to change that is iArrow, the iPhone app for navigating terrain that goes off the beaten path.

 

Similar to your phone’s map app, users simply pick a destination or their current location to drop a pin. The GPS coordinates are saved to your phone, which gives you direction and distance to get there. Furthermore, the app has a database of more than 2 million points of interest all built into the phone so an Internet connection is not required and little battery is wasted, perfect for travelers in a remote location with no service.

 

While using the app in an urban environment has little use (it will tell you to walk through city blocks), it can be invaluable for outdoorsman, hunters, backpackers and fisherman, whether you want to remember a fishing spot or just want to map out the day’s hiking trail. The app can even measure your walking speed and send coordinates via text message.
