A question for the Masto mind trust.
I need a GPS map that can provide high quality location information (within a few feet) that runs on an iPhone and will work without network connectivity.
Well, without network connectivity in the wild. I would like to be able to download a satellite image of about a square mile around me, but then I need to be able to see myself on that map as I move about.
Is this something I can do with OpenStreetMap?

@sortova Do you need imagery or a map?
A map would be almost 100% OpenStreetMap - CoMaps, OsmAnd, OrganicMaps all work fully offline.
Worth checking beforehand - how well the target region is mapped in OSM. There could be a possibility to trace something from imagery and have it end in maps, if there is some time until the trip.

@richlv what I need to do is to mark about a 3km path through a heavily wooded area on my property. There is no wireless coverage.
But whenever I use the default app my location tends to bounce around. I’d just like to be able to see where I am as I walk the path.
I’ve been told there are hunting apps that can help with this but haven’t explored it

@sortova Haven’t had a chance to play with it too much but @CoMaps seems to do what you want. I know I had an OSM-based app I used long ago on travel but I can’t recall the name.
“Accuracy” is going to depend a lot on what’s around you signal-wise and/or how good a view of satellites you’re giving your phone at the time.
There’s only so much particular apps can do to improve that.
