RE: GPS Apps for hiking?

[Andrew J. LaPointe]

Hello, I have a question on GPS Apps.  Using Blind square, or any of the Apps, 
I noticed that sometimes the direction will say, 100 feet to your right or left 
or whatever it is.  Sometimes the left or right is correct but, is there a way 
to know for sure if it is left or right?  If you are solo, no one is around, it 
could be a problem to go in the wrong direction.....I know that is obcious but, 
 just asking for a friend.  Thank you Andy and Shubert

Google Maps includes bike and hiking trails so it can offer turn by turn 
directions on these. Would you be on designated trails or hiking in areas off 
trail?
