About TN State Parks Outdoor Guide
The Official Guide for Tennessee State Parks Pocket Ranger® app has gotten a total makeover!
This FREE all-inclusive outdoor guide was created in a collaborative effort between Tennessee 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 Tennessee 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.

I honestly just want an easy way to look for a new park to explore. The app crashes often while searching. Also the app wasn't made user friendly.

This app has great potential but at its current stage, its absolute junk! Freezes up constantly and mis directs on about every 3rd page!!

If you enjoy ads then this is the app for you! Also, it tends to be quite sluggish and dopey to navigate.

Who designs these apps they have no idea what people need to be able to view the map of the state park dumbasses should have left it the way it was and it had a calendar and showed the map of the state park so that people can choose where they want to be now you can't see that with the new update. Fix it!

I like the idea of caching a nap feature for a park. Can't get it to zoom to park level. Also been trying to create an account and login for the Geordie all day, keeps saying there us an error try again later.

This is a great idea, but very poorly done. I tried the cache map feature, downloaded and cached a map of the State Park where we were going at home where I had good WiFi. It shows in a list when I touched cached maps, but when I touch "view map" it goes into a loop bringing up the list to select, then view map keeps taking me back. Fortunately we do have a signal at this park, but when I bring up the map it does not have any of the park trails, just the roads. Tried to use on a hike, but app kept stopping

Trail maps are a useful tool. Updates have made for a better app.

Worked for hours and hours trying to get Cached Maps for Offline usage to work. I tried on two different Android devices. Repeatedly watched the video and written instructions to no avail. Tried Caching different maps at different parks and could never get it to work. Appeared to cache properly but never worked. And video instructions (at the speed of light) didn't appear to match software controls. Looks so simple. It's not... wanted this to work...

Wow, I have never been so disappointed in an app. I grew up in east tn and not one single trail or park that I have been to is on here I can name six in my county that are still open and running that I still visit every year and not one of them made the list

I hoped it would work but it kept crashing.
by E####:
Great info, but it freezes up my phone sometimes, can't find my location, and the directions feature doesn't function correctly. Also, when searching by activity, when I scroll to select, it crashes the app every time.
