Hah yeah, I have to admit that I am way too analog for my age. But still, I haven't seen an application that can do the same, as just taking a map and designing a hiking route dedicated to my purposes.

You should always have a physical map for unfamiliar hikes. I think there are some niche applications that don't really show up in data like this.

I've never seen anything better than a 1:25k map, laid on the ground and oriented, for trying to make sense of the situation around you. I use the GPS on my phone to figure out where I am and Dioptera for taking bearings. But what do you use for an overall picture covering many square km; the tablet I would have to carry would crush me?
