Trail Sense, main features

free
Open source
no internet connection required
an infinite number of functions and useful tools for excursions and beyond

Today's application is an application that we have already mentioned in several of our articles. Trail Sense in fact it appears both as application to count steps that how sports tracking application. Actually Trail Sense as we had already written, it is not an application created for playing sports or counting steps, however, given that it is very versatile and full of features, we decided to include it. And we have now decided to dedicate a small article to it.

Trail Sense, the features

Among the features present on this application we can in fact find:

• altitude of the place we are in
• pedometer, as mentioned above
• possibility of tracing routes e retrace your steps
• be notified when the sun is about to set
• weather forecasts
• possibility to turn on the flashlight directly from the app

On the page of source code we can find the objectives of this application:

• Trail Sense must not use the Internet in any way, as I want the entire application to be usable even without an Internet connection.
• The features must provide some benefit to the user while hiking, in survival situations, etc.
• Features should use the phone's sensors instead of relying on stored information like guides.
• Features must be based on peer-reviewed or real-world science.

In short, as you will have understood, it is an application that tries to leave nothing to chance and which could be very useful to you if you are used to hiking!
