Stephen Johnson is back on the show to share his first impressions of the Apple Watch Ultra and how it holds up in the backcountry. He’s is also bringing us an exciting update of his app Topo Maps+ that includes CarPlay and a renewed focus on the watch. The new, bigger, and beefier Apple Watch Ultra holds lots of promise for us outdoor lovers and we discuss some challenges, opportunities and differences with this new product on the market.

This week I’m joined by longtime friend of the show Stephen Johnson, creator of the popular app Topo Maps +. We talk about the origins of his business Glacier Peak Studios, how to navigate in the backcountry, and to use maps to smartly plan your summer adventure projects.
