•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.

•Plus so much more!
With the Pocket Ranger® in hand, prepare to bask in the vast natural wonders of Florida State Parks & Forests!

The result: while you’ve been gearing up to get back into those hiking boots, we’ve been busy behind the scenes preparing many new app features, benefits and improvements to the Florida State Parks Pocket Ranger® app just in time for spring.
In addition to the app’s standard features – GPS mapping, trail tracking and recording, photo waypoints, park maps and information, safety alerts, weather forecasts, and more – check out the newly added benefits you’ll enjoy when you download this latest update to your Pocket Ranger® app, designed to make your outings to the state parks even more memorable this season:
