Your path to exploration starts here!

I love being outside, whether for hiking, camping, running or just enjoying nature. However, many portable GPS units have limited information and capability—I sold a Magellan because it didn’t provide me much information. DIY Map is a great way for you to ditch bulky expensive GPS units and use your mobile device. Live tracking of your destination, local weather and restaurants of major cities are just the start.

You can download maps of most anywhere you can travel or imagine—but no bloat of places you don’t need—personal customization. You can track your yourself through GPS and even figure out speed and cadence using your bike—something I can’t wait to try out once all this snow melts!

This is like Google Maps and Garmin and on steroids. The capabilities and customization are well worth it. No need spending hundreds on a new device that is obsolete in months when you can have a fully customizable and updateable app that will grow with you and your travels. Easily worth the low price.
