About FL State Parks Guide
The Official Guide for Florida State Parks Pocket Ranger® app has gotten a total makeover!
This FREE all-inclusive outdoor guide was created in a collaborative effort between Florida State Parks and ParksByNature Network®, and the next generation of the app is better than ever.
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.
Newly added features:
•New user interface (UI) with a sleek, more photo-centric home screen design.
•Photo galleries on each park description page.
•A new Explore feature to optimize search capabilities, allowing a 4-in-1 search by location, activities, category, and site name, making it easier to find the perfect recreational destination.
The app still 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 feature 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 Florida State Parks!
•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.

This app works great but there are some annoying bugs plus it is sometimes wonky on my Note 3. But it is great for finding and reserving campsites, which is only what I use it for.

This app doesn't work, after the initial install and updates to content that took a very long time, the app doesn't display any content at all. I arrive at what I assume is the home screen with a menu. When selecting a menu option, the app hangs for awhile and eventually crashes. I've reinstalled twice with no luck.

I'm in the process of transferring all of my apps from my old phone"Samsung Galaxy S5"to my new phone,"Samsung Galaxy S7. This is the only app I'm having a issue with. When I go to the settings tab,it attempts to load,but ends up crashing the app. I will give 4 or 5 stars once this issue is fixed.

Keeps crashing. From the posts, it appears all was well with the app until the latest "bug fixes and improvements" release. Maybe roll it back to the previous version? Has tons of potential, but can't use if it keeps crashing!

The mobile app has some problems in that it crashes ad when selecting a park and then GPS location, it cannot even detect your location or provide direction even though you have allowed set permissions to be enabled for the app. This is on Marshmallow, core Android!

Gives no info on parks miles from current location. Takes longer to get basic info and GPS never works. Better off just going to Reserve America and work through their site.

Would be really good if it operated at normal speed. Slow enough for me to give up and go the Google route. If it loads faster than will give it more stars, really good app besides the speed though.

So the idea is great, but it's difficult to use when it freezes up and crashes so much. Hopefully someday they'll fix it.
