AlpineQuest Explorer Lite 2.4.0b

AlpineQuest is a comprehensive solution for outdoor activities and sports, offering a wide range of features for hiking, running, trailing, hunting, sailing, geocaching, off-road navigation, and more.

The app provides access to a diverse selection of topographic maps that can be stored locally and remain accessible even when you're out of cell coverage. Additionally, AlpineQuest supports various file-based raster map formats.

By utilizing the GPS and magnetic sensor of your device, AlpineQuest allows you to locate yourself in real-time on the map. The map can also be oriented to match the direction you're facing.

You can save and retrieve unlimited placemarks and share them with your friends. The app also enables you to track your path, providing advanced statistics and interactive graphics to enhance your outdoor experience.

AlpineQuest operates fully without requiring a cell connection, making it reliable for wilderness exploration in areas with limited coverage. The app offers a transparent user experience by avoiding advertisements, data sharing and monetization, analytics, and third-party libraries.
