[Therion] GPS app for android

[Bruce Mutton]

I have an S5 (not active) as well. Have been using Backcountry Navigator too gps pro on the recommendation of a friend. About $15 I think and there is a free version.Maybe not as comprehensive as what Martin suggested. I am new to devices like S5 and to gps software and it took me quite a while to figure it out and make it useful.Am using it intensively while travelling with a view to using it for caving eventually.Offline maps are good but limitation of 4GB per map folder for maps that can be 'managed' is a pain. (It can handle unlimited map sizes but ability to manage an move them on and off device is not available with those storage methods).GPS is I think quite good . Often claims 3m although repeated fixes over multiple days give way points and trails within a 10mm to 20m band.
Has a few annoying characteristics but the author is responsive and fixes things that break with updates.
I am invested in many gb of data and time so not keen on changing but would if someone can confirm other package is much better for cave mapping and prospecting.Bruce

So I ended up with a Samsung galaxy S5 Active. Can anyone recommend a good app for android that does GPS averaging to get accurate fixes on cave entrances? Other good GPS apps useful for cave stuff?
I thought i saw something on this listserv but my searched came up empty.
I'm looking forward to testing out my set up.
Thanks,
Rob
