Outdoor Recreation Application for Apple iPhone launched by American Hiking Society
American Hiking Society has launched its HIKE GPS maps application for the iPhone with more than 300 free recreational maps covering more than five million square miles of US. It enables users to track and record off road adventures, take geo coded pictures and upload and share their outdoor experiences via Facebook and email.
This application offers compatibility with Apple iPhone 3G and 3G S and presents more than 220,000 miles of trails, thousands of campgrounds, campgrounds and picnic areas with exhaustive locations of all major public land boundaries.
Gregory Miller, President, American Hiking Society said:
We're excited to offer map resources to outdoor enthusiasts across the country with the launch of our iPhone application. For more than three decades we have been at the forefront of promoting, protecting, and maintaining trails. By embracing today's technology, we hope this application will expand and enhance the outdoor experience for people from all walks of life and connect them with our natural and cultural heritage, promote healthy lifestyles, and serve to galvanize communities. As American Hiking Society works toward ensuring hiking trails and natural places are cherished and preserved for us and future generations, we believe that education and technology can help people get more from the outdoors. Additionally, proceeds from each sale of the HIKE GPS app on iTunes will help us continue our work on hiking advocacy, volunteer programs, and outreach to communities.
It is available for $9.99 from iPhone or on iTunes.

Thank you for this! I love the iphone and always use it on my adventures. I used to use the north face app but there was always so much spam on it. I hoped to find a better one so hopefully this is it. I normally write about them on http://www.opadventureteam.com
