### 5/5 — Never get lost again!

*2026-07-28, version 1.4.0*

I love that you’re using the actual park maps and that I can see right where I am as I’m moving along. I would be lost in the woods without this free app. Thanks so much!

### 5/5 — Quickly and Easily Orient Yourself in Parks

*2026-07-24, version 1.4.0*

I use “Sweep: Explore Outdoors!” to orient myself on park trails and park roads. It’s helpful in finding trail highlights and park amenities. I camp using a small RV and can easily find the RV dump station before I head out by using this app. 
I was introduced to the app when hiking in a Texas state park. My friend and I were trying to find a vista marked on the park map. We weren’t sure if we passed the turnoff or not. While I was fumbling with the park’s paper map comparing it to my tracker app, she opened Sweep and quickly identified where we were. 
If you hike or drive around parks, I recommend this app.
