It may be that we have to sync with something else and then import into our app of choice...not ideal but it's tough finding an app we like that has the features we like. Most of the ones we see have terrible aerials or they're not cache-able


You're not wrong...for sharing data we're typically looking at laptops. On phone we have different apps, I use BackCountry Navigator (supports caching) which has an option to import from Caltopo.

Or concerned spouse for that matter. I use Onyx and my wife has the login info. When I'm deep in the marsh she can log in and pull up the screen at home and view my most recent waypoints and tracks. This gives her the peace of mind as to where I'm at.

So, if I ever stop moving etc etc, she knows where to send the help.

If you have a Google account on your phone, she can do that and show your exact location.
