    There was an app (mtnhub) I used at one point that overlayed USGS maps and then you could filter Slope and aspect that was free. Do you guys use anything like that for planning?

    I'm a big fan of Caltopo.. and I think slope and aspect is available on the free tier.

    $20/yr if you find it useful, and allows the map/tile downloads.

    The CalTopo used with Avenza is an awesome way to create and track your tour.

    OnX hunt maps has a pretty useful aspect shading tool. I like to keep it simple and avoid app clutter and data pimping.

    **BUMP** Mike and I found that the detail is better on Caltopo then most of the other apps as well.
