The cost is $20 / month for unlimited voice / text plus a rate of $10 / GB (rounded to the nearest MB) for cellular data plus tax. We signed up for Project Fi (replacing our previous Sprint service). Project Fi is Google’s entry into the market as a wireless provider. The Nexus 5x as well as it’s big brother the Nexus 6P phone support Google’s Project Fi.

Project Fiĭeb and I recently replaced our aging Android phones with Nexus 5X phones. There is a free version (with advertising) and a paid version (which I purchased) that costs $2.38. The MyTrails app is published by FrogSparks and is available from the Google Play Store.

Summary pages of details and statistics from hike.Can be set to omit ‘pauses’ from map – stopping to take photos, etc.Variety of free map sources including Microsoft and Google maps (including terrain and satellite maps), OSM (open source) maps, and my favorite: USGS 7.5′ Topo Maps.I tried a variety of GPS apps from the Android store and settled on an app called MyTrails. However, I’d gotten used to using my phone for hiking and the GPS chip in my latest phone was more accurate and got satellite lock a lot faster than the older Magellen unit. We could always go back to using the handheld Magellen.
