So, non-GPS apps first:
Military Mountainerring that shows how to handle yourself in mountainous terrain.
[Army Survivor Guide](https://play.google.com/store/search? hq=army+survivor+guide&c=apps) (I use the one by Milodroid) is great for learning the necessary skills to keep yourself alive - especially if something goes wrong.
First Aid (I use one by AR Medical). As is always the case, make sure you know how to use the app/book before you need it. If nothing else, know what to do if someone stops breathing, goes into shock or has heat stroke.
Compass - I use Smart Compass. They're not as reliable - strictly IMO - as a standard compass, but they work. The one I use integrates the camera making it easy to aim at an object for orientation.
Moon Phases. There are lots of them, and some weather apps have them integrated, but I got my for free off Amazon App of the Day.
Weather (I use the Weather Channel app.) Always good to have and every phone I've ever seen has one already integrated.
Google Sky Map is awesome for finding constellations and planets at night.
Now for GPS (and related) apps:
All Trails is used mostly for finding trails in an area. It's certainly not an exhaustive list, but really cool if you travel and like to hike in new places.
Google Earth is good for recon and importing tracks into.
Alpine Quest - after a lot of trial and error I chose this over Backcountry Navigator, Androzic, MM Tracker and Google Maps. The feature that sealed it for me is setting different maps up and changing their opacity to see multiple things at once. I normally use a topo map at 100% opacity and a Google Earth map at 30%. It puts barely visible landmarks on the map with the topography.
(But, I wasn't unimpressed with any. All had their strengths and weaknesses - Alpine Quest included. But, I got to where I needed to choose and went with Alpine Quest.)
My Tracks is good if ALL you want is to import a track into Google Earth. (It's easy to do this with Alpine Quest, too, but I'm guessing it uses more battery than just tracks.)
Easy extras:
Without links... The kindle app is really nice - I can take multiple books with me. A music app is great, too. Also, my camera (on my Incredible 2) is pretty good, considering, and it's easy to get out and use.
I would keep it in your pocket or pack, instead of on a hiking stick. I suppose they could compensate for movement, but if it's in your hand, it seems the speed and such gets messed up as swinging back and forth seems to count. However, use it as you're most comfortable, obviously.
Not an app:
I've seriously considered buying something like this - or even a few of them - to have extra power so I don't need to worry about running out of juice.
Never travel without the 10 essentials unless you are 100% positive you won't need a piece. (For example, I hike out my back door (literally, which is AWESOME) and am never going so far I need an emergency shelter. But, I always have a first aid kit, an emergency kit, and a map/standard-compass just in case.
Happy Hiking!
I always like to stay connected. So I inform myself about 3G prepaid offers for every country before i go there. You will always be able to find offers between 10 and 15€, sometimes even including some voice minutes. However, having data access is sufficient as you can use VOIP to make calls.
In case you go to remote areas, it is worth checking the network coverage maps of the local providers to see whether you will have signal there.
Furthermore, having a way of charging your mobile on the go is super handy. I build myself a MintyBoost but you can also buy stuff in the normal retail market.
Have a good trip!
In regards to charging the second battery, this universal battery charger is on Amazon for 9 bucks shipped. It's well reviewed, only 2 of the dozen reviews gave it 1 star, both claiming incompatibility with a phone, and both had a response from the manufacturer offering to help them via their CS channels. I think that bodes pretty well, I might look into that.
However I'm also considering an external charger as an alternative, this is also excellently reviewed, prime eligible, 2900 mAh, and is only $26.
