This FREE all-inclusive outdoor guide was created in a collaborative effort between Delaware State Parks and ParksByNature Network™.
Powered by Pocket Ranger® technology, the app gives outdoor enthusiasts an environmentally friendly way to enjoy the parks. It contains everything you need to plan a trip to the state parks, navigate them once you get there, and share your experiences afterward.
Highlighted features include:
•Sleek user interface (UI) -- more photo-centric home screen design.
•Photo galleries on each park description page.
•A search feature to optimize search capabilities, allowing various ways to search by locations, activities, category, and site name. Making it easier to find the perfect recreational destination.
The app also has rich GPS features, such as:
•Advanced GPS Maps, complete with an accuracy and distance indicator, which allow you to access trail data, record tracks from hikes, runs, or bike rides, and view elapsed time and distance traveled.
•Easy-to-cache GPS Terrain Map tiles, which ensure that navigation remains possible in the event of lost mobile reception.
•Photo waypoint feature allowing you to snap a photo and mark and record the coordinates of plant life, animal species or landscape views. Post or share these remarkable finds with family and friends with the click of a button.
•Friend Finder features that tracks friends and family around the parks.
•Built-in compass.
•Potentially life-saving Alert feature that supplies GPS coordinates to designated contacts in case of an emergency.
Other standard features make exploring the great outdoors a breeze:
•Thorough information on all state parks including general policy, contact information, activities, trails, park maps and much more.
•Detailed, cacheable maps of park facilities, trails and campgrounds.
•Up-to-date news, park advisories and weather information.
•Sharing features for sharing current positions, waypoints and recorded tracks via Facebook, Twitter, or email.
•A real-time Calendar of Events.
•Access to online reservations that make it easy to secure overnight visits.
•Plus so much more!
With the Pocket Ranger® in hand, prepare to bask in the vast natural wonders of Delaware State Parks & Forests!
•The enhanced pro features on the app are designed to function in areas with little to no mobile reception; however, some of the features require mobile data reception in order to function properly.
•Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Love it

I'm not even sure when I'll be getting to DE but having this app is so fun. I can discover what's going on in all different parks and decide if I want to plan a trip there or look into other states. I need more of these for the whole U.S. Love it. I'm sure the features will get better and better. User friendly environment. A park encyclopedia in your picket.
Fabulous outside park too!

I got the pro version so I could trail track and see how far I'm riding my mtn bike - it is FABULOUS because I can see my distance on bike trails. I could only guess before I got this app! I have been using it out of State too so it works anywhere!!
Winning!!

Like Charlie Sheen says, this app is WINNING! I'm a major park goer, and love this app and all the other ones available for other states. The Pro version is awesome in its interaction... Friend Finder is a great tool, plus proceeds go to help maintain the parks.
Doesn't work.

I can't get past the load screen. It just says downloading content and gets stuck.

Has issues

Locks on updating content .. Fix is to delete the app/ reboot the iPhone/ re-install the app/ AND ALLOW 6 minutes to "update content" on wifi. It finally works now. Only gets 4stars due to this install issue that is not documented in the app description.
