A modern option to assist hikers navigating Mid State Trail is the FarOut (formerly Guthook) app. Summary information from the new 13
th edition guidebook and the mapping is also available as an in-app purchase from FarOut app
from FarOut Guides, familiar to the current generation of A.T. hikers. While the app itself is free, MST information is an in-app purchase and MSTA receives a portion of the proceeds. This information covers the entire trail – download at home, then it works when you are out of cell network. Those who persist in using outdated colonial units of measure will find a setting in the FarOut app to accommodate these, in addition to the official metric distances.
