Not sure if I will have the same experience with the All Trails app. May just try keeping in my pocket and pulling it out when I get lost. Getting to old to see the screen without readers anyway.
The All Trails app is a battery eater. I have the app and know first hand. I tend to leave it off most of the time and only turn it on when I really need it. All Trails is a fantastic app but it is not designed for anything longer than an hour to an hour and a half of constant use.
