How Do You Navigate Trails Without Cell Service?

[Shawn]

Do you use any specific navigational gear?

If so, what gear are you using?

I either use paper maps, but most times I preload the maps from alltrails on my phone , so don't need special navigation gear but I always carry a spare power bank. But the more remote the more I rely on paper backup.

That's what I do pretty much.

However, I use a downloaded map from OnXHunt. It's my paper maps on an app. I can see the topo, contours, and all of that to be able to navigate my way back!
