Use offline topo maps and GPS on hiking trails without cell service. The GPS in your Android phone can get its position from GPS satellites, and you don't have to rely on your data plan to get maps. Have more fun and safe GPS navigation in the backcountry.
Use as a geocaching navigator by getting a pocket query as GPX.
Besides geocaching, use GPS for recording tracks and GPS waypoints on your trip, all the while tracking your GPS quest on topographic maps. It may replace your Garmin handheld GPS.
Here are some of the outdoor GPS activities BackCountry Navigator has been used for:
As a hiking GPS both on hiking trails and off trail.
Camping trips to find that perfect camping site or the way back to camp with GPS.
Hunting trips for hunting wild game in rugged areas.
Doing recon for a hunt or as your hunting GPS
Fishing: make it your fishing GPS.
Search and Rescue (SAR).
Trekking the Pacific Crest trail or other long term hiking.
Kayak and canoe treks on inland lakes and streams or marine, coastal waters.
Backpacker trips: using topo maps of wilderness areas and national forests for navigation on trails with the GPS in your rucksack or backpack.
Snow sports including snowmobiling, skiing and snowshoeing.
Find your own ways to have fun in the outdoors. Be a maverick by venturing beyond cell service boundaries with your GPS. Become a pro at navigation with GPS for the outdoors.
BackCountry Navigator has been on WM devices and preloaded on the Trimble Nomad outdoor rugged device. This Android version is more flexible, featured, and fun. Create a memory with maps.
For a one time fee, this a great addition to the outdoor gear you bought at Cabelas, REI, or another outdoor store. Many have found the Android GPS in a phone or tablet to substitute for a Garmin GPS or Magellan GPS, such as the Garmin GPS units Montana, Etrex, or Oregon. Android can be your handheld GPS.

HAVE AN IDEA FOR A FEATURE? send us an email at firstname.lastname@example.com
This app is built for you and we will strive to put all the features you request into the app.
Internet is required for the maps portion of the app.
Your device MUST have GPS capabilities in order to get grids within 5 meters. If you do not have GPS in your device (iPad "wifi-only" and iPod Touch) then your location will be based on wifi signal alone which will not be as accurate as GPS.

GPS Status & Toolbox
Tools included: compass with magnetic and true north, leveling tool, mark or share your location and navigate back later using the Radar.
Keep your GPS fast: reset it or download A-GPS data regularly for faster fixes.
Visit the FAQ at: http://mobiwia.com/gpsstatus
GPS Status is 100% space proof. Try to spot the program in the promo video :)
PRO features:
- show/store/edit/export multiple waypoints and use them on the Radar for navigation.
- pressure, rotation, temperature, humidity values (if supported by the device)
- removed ads
- Location: We need this to display your location and allows the program to re-download AGPS data or reset the GPS.
- External storage: required by the PRO version to be able to export the stored waypoints to an external file.
- Internet: Used by the advertisement component. The PRO version does not use the internet connection at all.
KNOWN FIRMWARE ISSUES (please do not report them):
- Galaxy S4 on Verizon: Because of a firmware bug, the notification item in GPS Status can't be removed. You need to disable the notification feature in Settings if this annoys you.
- Droid 3: The initial Droid 3 firmware does not implement the satellite status API so you will not see the satellites and the signal strength bars. The rest of the features should work properly.
- Motorola phones: On some phones, turning your phone to airplane mode will turn off the GPS receiver, too. This is a hardware limitation.
- Droid Charge: Reports 0 altitude.
- LG Optimus: The phone cannot report the satellite SNR values correctly (all signal bars will be maxed out).
- Samsung phones: Because of a firmware bug, they may report extreme battery consumption for GPS Status even if it is not running at all (other programs using sensors are affected too). This is harmless and no power is consumed! Just ignore it and let's hope that a future firmware upgrade will fix this on your phone.
- Nexus One/S: With Andoid 2.3 it cannot report NMEA sentences. This means that the DOP/HDOP/VDOP values are not available.

Sunlight Watch Face and Widget
You can see at a glance how much daylight you have left and when to expect the next solar or lunar event.
Sunlight Watch Face is meant for an Android wear smartwatch such as Asus ZenWatch, LG G, Sony Smartwatch 3, Moto 360, Samsung Gear Live.
To choose one of the two new Watch Faces, choose it in the Wear app on your phone, or Long Click on the watch face on the watch. You should see "Sunlight" and "Sunlight 12 hr" as some of the choices.
It is not intended for those that are not Android Wear watches, such as Gear 2 or Gear S or Pebble.
This can also work on a Android device without a watch,
New in version 2.0, you can add it as a clock widget to your homescreen. Also possible to place it on the lockscreen, if your device allows.
The daylight clock shown is calculated based on your rough location, current time, and a great deal of math. No need for constant retrieval from the internet or sunset calendar. Think of it as a sunrise and sunset calculator in graphical form.
The following information is shown on the watch:
-Sunrise time - yellow dot
-Sunset time - red dot.
-Moonrise and Moonset and moonphase.
-Twilight times: times of varying degrees of sunlight before sunrise or after sunset.
There are three common subcategories of twilight, represented on the sunlight clock (summarized from Wikipedia):
Civil Twilight is a time when the sun is below the horizon, but there is generally enough light to carry out outdoor activities without artificial light. The brightest stars become visible as this ends.
In Nautical Twilight, the horizon is indistinct, and general outlines of land features can be seen, It is considered to end when navigation by the horizon at sea is no longer possible.
Astronomical Twilight may appear to be fully dark. Point sources of light such as stars are easily observable at its beginning, but dimmer sources, like distant galaxies, are only visible as it ends.
Now that your Android Wear watch tells you sunlight times, you can use that information to support your outdoor activities.
Use it to determine hunting times, fishing times, hiking times, or photography times. Any activity which relies on a certain amount of sunlight should be enhanced.
Recommended for Landscape photography.
Use to find the time of a great sunset or the time of a great sunrise. Take pictures or simply enjoy the rising or setting of the sun. Watch the sunset or sunrise.
The watch face has an alternate face for dim/ambient mode to save battery life.
The most commonly used watch face is the 24 hour sunlight clock, showing the full day, and both sunrise and sunset. For your convenience, a 12 hour sunlight clock face is also available, where you can see half of the day's sunlight at a time. Before noon, it will be a sunrise calculator, and after noon, a sunset calculator.

Red Lava Analog Watchface
From the Pacific Ring of Fire, comes a simple watch face with a warm, soft glow that reminds you of dark summer nights gathered around an active lava flow to keep warm.
Once installed, check Android Wear app on your phone to choose "Red Lava" as the watch face. Or long click on your watch to choose it from there. No configuration needed.
So simple to use, you may not need this description. You probably know all this information from looking at the picture already. Get it today!
*Round Watch Face for watches like the Moto 360 or LG G Watch R
*Square Watchface for those like the Gear Live, LG G, Sony Smartwatch 3, Asus Zenwatch
*Warm, soft red glow of lava on the perimeter.
*Day of Week
*Day of Month
*Battery charge as a percentage
*Low power, Ambient mode for extended battery life
This watch face for Android Wear does what you've come to expect your watch to do: tell time. This is does with an analog clock like those you have seen on the wall and may have learned to read in grade school. It has an hour, a minute hand, and when in active mode, shows a second hand that ticks.
This watch face gives you the day of the month. Not just the day of the month, but also the day of the week in convenient three letter format. Not stopping there, it tells you which day just ended and which one is coming next.
Want to know how the battery of your Android Wear Watch is holding up without additional clicks? See the battery gauge right on the watch face, including both a percentage and a circle for emphasis.
More important than knowing your battery life is conserving your battery life. For this reason, the watch face shows a simpler view in ambient mode, which your watch is in most of the time you are not looking at it. This gives you the greatest chance of getting a full day or more of battery life from your Android Wear smartwatch.
When looking for an analog watch face with a red accent color, look no further.
If you don't have an Android Wear Watch, move along. Otherwise, get this watch face and bask in its glow today.
GPS Airtime
Up to 20% of Android phones in the US struggle to get a GPS location fix in Airplane mode, even when most of these phones are capable of getting a GPS location outside of cell coverage range. This was not an intentional design decision, it is the result of a firmware/hardware bug in these phones. If you have never had this problem, you probably don't need this app.
This app was created by Daniel Butler, a National Java programming champion. We are fortunate to have him contributing to the Android community.
This app is an on demand service that works in conjunction with any app that requests GPS location. For offline, backcountry navigation, you are welcome to try BackCountry Navigator.
When Airplane mode is on, and a GPS location is requested, the app passively monitors satellite status. If no satellite signal is received after a certain number of seconds, the app temporarily turns off Airplane mode until the GPS starts properly. This would be tedious to do manually, which is why we are offering this app to do it automatically.
It is still considered experimental because we don't know what devices it will be helpful for.
This app has been tested on:
*Motorola Droid
It is expected to be helpful on
*Motorola Droid X
*Motorola Droid II
*Samsung Intercept
And possibly others.
It is not expected to be needed on:
Motorola Droid 3
Motorola Droid X2
Motorola Droid Bionic
Most HTC devices.
For that reason, the app shows up in the market only for a limited set of devices at this time. We can add to that as people identify other devices with an airplane mode bug.
To discover if your phone is a candidate:
Go outside.
Turn Airplane mode on.
Request location in an app such as BackCountry Navigator that uses GPS location (not network location).
Wait up to five minutes for the GPS location to arrive.
If it does, you probably don't need this app.
If not turn airplane mode off and wait a few minutes.
If you then get a GPS location, you probably need this app.
If you still don't get a location, well, this ap doesn't promise to fix every possible GPS problem - try rebooting.
This app does require some permissions to do its job:
*Write System Settings is required to switch Airplane mode on and off. It is the only setting we alter.
*Internet access is not used during operation, but it is used so you can anonymously send a report of whether it worked on your device.
*Access Fine Location is necessary so that we can check whether you receive GPS Satellite data. We don't actually check the location, only whether you are getting data or not.
Dragon Hockey:Age of Air&Fire
The action includes three playing fields.
One player against an AI dragon opponent.
Two player against a person nearby who wants to defeat your dragon on your same phone or tablet.
Immersion Haptics for the feel of the puck bouncing off walls and mallets.
Powered by Dolby® on supported devices for the best action sound experience.
Fire, flame and sparks accompany the dragons on their battle for supremacy of the board.
Share your dragon story through leaderboards and achievements.
These dragons glide through air or across stone, battling for the puck in the traditional game of air hockey.
Note that these dragons are not a pet, are not trained in a dragon school to play dragon ball, and you won't build a dragon city in a dragon world. The dragons, instead, will fight each other in a quick and exciting arcade game. Pick up and play at any time.
Realistic physics lets you challenge a dragon and have fun.
Best air hockey game with dragons that you have likely ever played.
The game of air hockey is also known as finger hockey or table hockey and is similar to ice hockey or floor hockey, but involves at most two players with mallets.

I'm trying to create a WSTransfer implementation (I realise Roman Kiss has written one already for WCF - but it doesn't actually meet the specifications)
I've ended up abandoning data contracts on the service contacts because WSTransfer is loosely coupled; so each the create message looks like Message Create(Message request).
This works fine, and everything is lovely until it's time to fire back a response.
The problem I have is in the way a WSTransfer response is constructed. Taking create as the example the response looks like
As you can see there are 3 different XML namespaces within the response message.
Now, it's easy enough when one is involved; you can (even if you're not exposing it), create a data contract and set the values and fire it back
Message response = Message.CreateMessage(request.Version,
However the problem arises in setting different namespaces for the child elements within the response; it appears WCF's datacontracts don't do this. Even using
on the individual elements within the response class don't appear to make any changes, everything becomes part of the namespace specified for the contract class.
So how do I apply different namespaces to individual elements in a WCF Message; either via a contract, or via some other jiggery pokery?

Ten members of the Federal Party of Ceylon that claims to speak for the Tamil people of the Northern and Eastern provinces have been placed under house detention in Colombo, a Government spokesman announced on June 6 in Colombo. The action against them came after a regulation was effected, vesting powers in the Government to detain in custody any person belonging to a proscribed party or organisation. The Federal Party had been in the leadership of the Tamil agitation for equality of status for their language with the official Sinhalese language for the past two years. The party was proscribed by the Government upon the declaration of a state of emergency on May 27, following island-wide communal disturbances involving the Tamil and the Sinhalese people.

To Urgsmurgs, unawatuna and roderickvlouis:
Although I mostly agree with your well-meaning sentiments it is specious to call the BBC "unbiased". It has been well documented (in the UK at least) that it has a liberal-left bias. Check for example:
However, I stress that it is a mild criticism compared to most other broadcasters (I hear NPR is also good and KCTS-9 is fine in Canada).
The BBC does need to encourage more pluralistic views, especially if we all agree the world is better served by a strong BBC. Advocacy, even if subtle, is best left to The Economist and others. :)
The BBC website is the only place i know to get unbiased English language news )-:. BBC grow grow grow. That is admitly much easier to say without paying that regressive TV tax which is a shame. Public TV should be financed through the general budget.
THE BBC's GOVERNORS & ALL MAJOR UK POLITICAL PARTIES OUGHT TO BE DELIBERATING HOW THE BBC's FUNDING CAN BE INCREASED OVER THE LONG TERM: UNTIL THE RAPIDLY EVOLVING HIGH TECH/NEWS, ENTERTAINMENT, BUSINESS & HUMAN-INTEREST MEDIA-DELIVERY INDUSTRY STABILIZES, THE BBC CAN'T BE TOO BIG!!
To assist the City/ London retaining its title of 'world financial centre' there ought to be a UK based 24-hour business-news world TV channel- with its own designated Internet resources- accessible world-wide....
The BBC's excellent business news reporting capabilities could be partnered with another quality UK Mark such as the Financial Times to fill this role ably.
What is good for the UK or the world economy generally by the US's Bloomberg & CNBC continuing to monopolize the 24-hour world business news TV/video space??
Until the world and UK economies stabilize & until the rapidly evolving Internet reaches at least a modicum of stasis, the BBC- particularly its Internet-accessible text, audio & video services- ought to be as liberally funded as is reasonably possible...
Politicians ought to give their collective heads a shake and ask themselves what will be left for the UK to brag about & to enable it to 'stand apart from the rest of the world' in a useful, constructive, positive way- if the BBC is allowed to be destroyed due to inadequate long-term funding and its resulting incompetent long-term objective setting...
A properly funded & resourced BBC should be enabled to compete globally and to function effectively as a first rate shop window for the UK- keeping the country in the forefront of the world's peoples, political leaders & business professionals/entrepreneurs minds...

THE BBC's GOVERNORS & ALL MAJOR UK POLITICAL PARTIES OUGHT TO BE DELIBERATING HOW THE BBC's FUNDING CAN BE INCREASED OVER THE LONG TERM: UNTIL THE RAPIDLY EVOLVING HIGH TECH/NEWS, ENTERTAINMENT, BUSINESS & HUMAN-INTEREST MEDIA-DELIVERY INDUSTRY STABILIZES, THE BBC CAN'T BE TOO BIG!!
If the United Kingdom wants to remain a noticeable country on the world stage, let alone 1 that other countries' businesses/people want to do business with- or set up businesses in- or lend money to- then the UK must retain its pre-eminence & if possible, increase its lead on the world's TV, Radio & all platforms of Internet-delivered media (IE desk-top/lap-top computer, set-top box AND MOBILE PHONE/POCKET PC)...
Unfortunately, the country's defacto 'world emissary'- the BBC- is at risk of being rendered 'UK-bound', neutered and gagged- due to astonishingly short-sighted, long-term inadequate funding plans...
Most of the BBC's best TV/Video programmes can't be accessed from overseas anymore...
Its previously award winning web sight has been being severely degraded for over 18 months... contradicting Labour's oft stated objective that it wants the country to lead the world in Internet technology...
While the BBC's web sight has been massively dumbed down, its (previously) extensive resources of news, business, human interest & other information types- available in text, audio & video formats- have been substantially reduced in both scope & quality...
The depth of web-site reporting has- viewed from over here in North America- been gutted while a large amount of the BBC's Internet-delivered TV programmes & TV channels have short sightedly been walled-off from 'outside of UK' access...
As of about 2-months ago, overseas persons wanting to access the BBC's web site content are served material that is significantly inferior to what UK residents receive- & often with inane, tasteless commercials...
Even the BBC's World Service radio stream does not work on mobile phones/pocket PC's anymore...
What is constructive or 'good for UK business or international politics interests' in this situation?
The BBC's world-leading quality radio stations & their respective programmes used to have comprehensive explanatory text on their individual web home pages- not any more: many of the new, virtually blank web pages have none or scandalously little text explaining individual programmes' topics...
This would not be so bad if the BBC iplayer would work outside of the UK so that overseas persons could access the BBC's vastly superior news, business, human interest, sports, arts and social-topic video-format media...
But the BBC iplayer has been programmed deliberately to not function outside the UK... so the UK's best 'national advertisements': TV/video programmes- such as Newsnight, Panorama, Click, FastTrack, HardTalk, Our World, Earth Report, Dateline London, Reporters & even the daily TV/video news broadcasts (like the 10 O'clock News)- are no longer viewable from outside the UK...
This would make sense, possibly, if overseas persons were enabled to pay for iplayer use, maybe in the form of a monthly or weekly subscription... similar to what Realplayer markets to potential customers for access to its 'premium' services...
Instead of this, hugely counterproductive media-access walls are being erected around the UK- while the rest of the world becomes more & more globalized...
Those preparing future UK budgets ought to consider getting rid of the plainly inadequate TV license method of funding the BBC & instead switching to an annual 'media tax' applicable to adult UK residents... with partial or full rebates available to low-income persons...
UK budget preparation persons ought to be asking:
- 'how can the UK most effectively advertise & promote itself in the coming decades??'
Without the, for over 1/2 a century, world renowned and unrivaled, BBC- enabled to function at its best- the UK risks being written off as a 'useless', 'lost cause', 'not good investment location' by those observing from overseas.....
Even when times are tough & finances at their grimmest- families & small businesses that have common sense 'keep up appearances' & make sure that the family's or business's outward facing facade remains stable & retains continuity...
Why should these practices not apply to countries facing financial challenges, especially those with central roles on the world's most important political, economic & security structures- such as the UK?
Making cuts & negative spending adjustments internal to the UK generally may be advisable & necessary during these challenging times....
But, today's world economic situation calls for an expansion, not reduction, in national-institutions that are as fundamental to how the UK is perceived around the world as the BBC
Roderick V. Louis,
Vancouver, Canada
I agree with erudite TV critic AA Gill (ironically of Rupert Murdoch's Sunday Times) that there needs to be more investment in the BBC, not less. It is a great British institution like The Economist itself. I think dogma plays a great part in the attacks, including the sceptical views of The Economist.
BBC dramas and documentaries are often ground-breaking, informative, challenging and capably produced. Radio 4 is reliably informative and thought-provoking.
Sky's sports coverage is excellent with its innovative and energetic presentation, in itself showing that public and commercial television can be both competitive and complementary, despite the reservations of Sky's James Murdoch.
Most of American TV isn't high-quality or highly-regarded (it's often shrill, cheap and advert-obsessed), except the cream of ground-breaking programs like "The Wire"," The Simpsons"," The Sopranos", and my personal favourite "Curb Your Enthusiasm".
Admittedly, there needs to be a more diverse range of political and economic standpoints on the BBC, rather than sticking to its liberal-left cosiness, by inviting more frequently firebrands like David Starkey. But this is a mild criticism when compared to TV from other countries that I've seen, including what we've seen here in Canada. Britain should be proud and grateful.
My thanks to The Economist for highlighting the colossal £500m difference between the revenue of Murdoch's SKY and the BBC. Despite the lower income, it is clear that the BBC provides greater value for money, a far wider range of programmes across a multitude of 'platforms' as well as giving, on the whole, quality programming for local, national and international audiences. The value to the UK of this latter audience should not be underestimated, as it provides a respected and valuable cultural and moral reference point for the UK within the world. It is also for many people the most respected source of 'unbiased' facts and news, as well as being a beacon for quality broadcasting that many other countries aim to emulate, though never, in my opinion, surpass.
Given the enormous amount of licence fees that the BBC receives, it would be surprising if it did not produce high quality programs. However the US also produces extremely high quality programming (including nature documentaries etc) that easily match the best that the BBC produces, yet do so entirely within the private sector. Secondly, the BBC may produce good shows, but it also wastes huge amount of public money and, as SlyFifer points out, is entirely London-centric in its programming.
The BBC is an important organisation and benefits the UK handsomely. Many of the quality programmes it turns out (the world's best nature documentaries, science, news) couldn't be reproduced in the same way by commercial organisations.
It is fair to say that perhaps its remits overlap and can pull in opposite directions at times, but the BBC we need.
Oh I don't know Slyfifer - we're all huge River City fans in Lanarkshire....;)
Up here in Scotland the BBC is a standing joke. It's viewed by many people as not only a mouthpiece of the London Establishment but in Scotland, they seem to read from the press releases of the Labour party. Credibility shot. Relevant to the daily lives of the average Scot - no. Unless of course they have a love of Cricket and English football, doubt it.
So, to sum up. Worth the money, well bits of it might be. Funded by a tax on households - archaic. Freedom to choose - missing. Able to apply a license fee in an independent Scotland no, as the SDA will outlaw it. Future secure as the English Broadcasting Corporation which for a great many years it has been. I would miss bits of the BBC if it weren't available in Scotland but, I could learn to live without it. Would I subscribe if it were an encrypted service, don't think so but then I would be expressing my freedom to choose.

Beer Camp Philly is tomorrow (Sat 6/4/11). Tickets are still available.http://www.beercampphilly.com/
"Our Homebrewers are getting their brew on for a locally-grown beertastic celebration of DIY beermaking in Philly during Philly Beer Week 2011.
Join us on Saturday, June 4, 2011 from 6-9 PM at the Jamaican Jerk Hut, 1436 South Street, Philadelphia, PA 19146."
Anyone else going?
Did you go? I heard about this far too late to participate.
My Neighbor went and said it was a great event, he even came in 3rd!
Yeah I did. It was a great event. For my own taste I was a little disappointed there weren't any Belgian styles represented but that's a pretty minor complaint.
that's probably a more expensive grainbill to put out for other's consumption. Unless they bought/paid for the beer. How much did you have to bring to this event?
Didn't have to bring anything. There were 10 homebrewers featured and everyone else bought tickets. I'm not sure how the brewers themselves were compensated but the beer was definitely paid for.

Southbound traffic on U.S. Hwy. 395 came to a screeching halt Wednesday afternoon as a brush fire, just south of KeoughŌĆÖs Hot Springs, generated heavy smoke and threatened to jump the highway.
The initial alarm went out at 1:57 p.m. Aug. 20, bringing responders from CalFire and U.S. Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management as well as Bishop, Independence, Big Pine and Mammoth Lakes fire departments. The fire burned up to the shoulder of the highway, but was contained at 18 acres, according to a press release from CalFire.
Despite strong south winds, the blaze was reduced to heavy smoke and hot spots within two hours. Air support, CalFire air tankers and a Forest Service helicopter, was on scene by 2:45 p.m..
According to CalFire, 70 firefighters were on scene and 35 were still involved in clean-up on Thursday.
U.S. Hwy. 395 was closed to through traffic for approximately two hours. North bound vehicles were escorted past the fire, but the south bound lanes were closed, blocked by heavy equipment and, at times, zero visibility.
As the line of cars backed up toward Collins Road, CHP began to move traffic south, but only to a safe median crossing where vehicles were sent back to Bishop.
By 4:30 p.m., CHP began escorting southbound traffic past the site.

Arizona Diamondbacks
Updated Apr 7, 2014 - 2:21 pm
The Pulse: Mark Trumbo to mash many home runs
Every day, ArizonaSports.com asks readers a question. It's the Sanderson Ford Poll Question of the Day, and it can be found midway down the right side of our home page.
This time, we asked how many home runs the red-hot Mark Trumbo will finish with this season.
A total of 586 votes were submitted, and the majority believe the slugger will finish the season with a total between 30 and 39.
The next highest total of votes went to "40-49."
Those two choices earned 296 and 191 votes, respectively. The other three options combined paled in comparison, tallying just 99 votes between them.
Trumbo has hit five home runs in the D-backs' first nine games. His career high is 34, which was set last season.
