GPS Tips for Skyline Drive & Wasatch Backcountry

1.Download offline maps before you leave — cell service is unreliable on most off-road trails.
2.Bring a battery pack or hardwired GPS. Phone batteries drain fast with GPS active.
3.Waypoints are approximate — canyons and rock formations can cause GPS drift of 50-100 feet.
4.Share your GPX with your trail group so everyone has the same waypoints.
