    Hiking GPS app recommendations

    I'm looking for a good GPS application mainly for off-road hiking. I therefore want to see a proper map, not a facsimile of the road ahead, and I am not interested in route planning features. I am a very new, and very green, Android user but highly experienced in using Garmin GPS units and...
