Been reading a lot of reviews on some trails I plan to use. A few recommend a gps tracking app that can help you if you are lost.
Anyone have any experience with this?
Thanks

I have a Garmin Zumo loaded with maps and if the trails aren't loaded I use an app called "RiderX". It works to track your ride and get you home. Also lets you share your ride with friends or the world.

Almost every GPS and App has a "breadcrumb" feature you can enable to backtrack your traveled route if need be. Optionally you can set your starting location by saving a waypoint then when you want to return set that waypoint and the directional arrow will lead you back to starting point.
