Having updated a few months ago from a BlackBerry Curve to an HTC Merge, I've found myself thrilled with the number of applications now available to me. While I love(d) my BlackBerry - and still do miss it for ease of operation - the Android world is loaded with free camping apps.
Many states have applications for their systems; unfortunately, none for WA. Currently I have the following installed:
-
[li]AllTrails,[/li]
[li]RVChecklist,[/li]
[li]AAA TripTik,[/li]
[li]C-RV Military,[/li]
[li]US Army Survival,[/li]
[li]Camping Recipes,[/li]
[li]Campground Finder,[/li]
[li]PocketRanger, Wyoming,[/li]
[li]Wyoming State Parks,[/li]
[li]Audobun Birds,[/li]
[li]WildCampSpot,[/li]
[li]Mobile RVing. [/li]
Then for other "fun" I've got:
-
[li]REI,[/li]
[li]Sportsman's Guide,[/li]
[li]eBay,[/li]
[li]Amazon[/li]
[li]Sporting Goods for Sale[/li]
If you've got something useful, list it. With the plethora of apps available no one person has them all and I'd be willing to bet there's some I still need.

I was looking for some sort of app to help me identify poison ivy. It would be great to have an app that uses a camera and tells you if you're standing in poison ivy or not...
I'll definitely check out the apps you've listed!
We were always taught "leaves of three, let it be."
From http://poisonivy.aesir.com/
The compound leaves of poison ivy consist of three pointed leaflets; the middle leaflet has a much longer stalk than the two side ones. The leaflet edges can be smooth or toothed but are rarely lobed. The leaves vary greatly in size, from 8 to 55 mm (0.31" to 2.16") in length. They are reddish when they emerge in the spring, turn green during the summer, and become various shades of yellow, orange or red in the autumn.
I don't get it nearly as bad as I did when I was younger, but if it has three (usually shiny) leaves, I give it wide berth!
No app needed! 🙂

I just got my work iPhone on thursday and have not put it down yet. We went camping this weekend and used a few of the apps for the trip:
Motionx gps drive - for turn by turn driving
Flashlight - great app uses flash for camera as flashlight
I handy level - used to level pop, worked great
Stopwatch - to time kids cranking stabilizers. Found it goes faster when it is a competition.
Go sky watch. Use for finding stars and planets to look at with telescope

I guess I need to upgrade my dumb phone to a smart one some day. Maybe there's an app to verify campsite numbers!
What's going on today at the AT & T store? Long line of folks holding paperwork in their hands and being let in the door one at a time. Are they now selling GOLD 5 Gs? ::)
Judy I hate to be the bearer of bad news but if you cant use a campground map, maybe you should stick with your "dumb phone". ;D
