Forest Service maps go digital

Adventurers sick of the Forest Service’s waxy, old-fashioned, hard-to-fold maps are now in luck. The agency has entered the Android and iPhone app business with a new product for Internet-age orienteers.

On Nov. 20, the Forest Service launched its PDF Maps Mobile App, available for free from the Android Play Store and iTunes. The app allows national forest users to buy digital maps for their mobile devices and track their location using GPS technology. Digital maps for the Lolo, Bitterroot, Flathead and Beaverhead Deerlodge national forests are already available for purchase.
