Due to my work environment I still use an older style flip phone. So Apps and what not are not available to me.

I will say this tho, In my earlier days I would go to the library or county court house and dig through the filing cabinets (the latest generation may not even know what those are) looking for aerial photos and topo maps of the places I wanted to hunt in an effort to improve my hunting knowledge and skills.
I would make copies or buy the ones that I needed. I still have them laying around with tattered corners from years of use. Pencil marks on them, X's here and there, little notes made. I still use them when I need to.

With that said, with todays technology I can have the entire world at my finger tips in digital high definition satellite imagery. I can zoom in, zoom out, slide over three or four ridges or even to the next county and never loose site of what I'm looking at. All of this while I'm hunting or fishing in real time if I choose to.
I can over lay topo lines, mark stands, way points. Weather forecasts and dang near anything else imaginable all with a device that will fit into the same pocket as my map and compass.

That's pretty neat stuff in my book.
