Trail Sense is an open-source Android app that uses phone sensors (barometer, GPS, compass) to assist with hiking, backpacking, camping, and survival situations. It works entirely offline, offering navigation, weather forecasting, astronomy, and utility tools without any internet access.

Use cases

• navigate offline while hiking without cell service
• get hyperlocal weather forecasts from barometric pressure
• trace back my steps with backtrack GPS
• use a photo as an offline map
• find sun and moon positions for camping
• measure slope angle with a clinometer
• keep my location data private with no internet app

When to choose

• you need a fully offline, privacy-respecting navigation and weather tool for wilderness trips
• you want an open-source alternative to proprietary hiking apps
• you hike, backpack, camp, or geocache and want sensor-based tools like altimeter, compass, and flashlight in one app

When to avoid

• you need turn-by-turn road navigation or driving directions
• you require guaranteed-accurate safety-critical readings - the app explicitly disclaims reliability and advises backup gear
• you need an iOS or desktop application
