another vote for viewranger, although when used on an iphone it does kill your battery and that can be a problem when you cant fit a spare.
view ranger backup is amazing, i had a setup niggle and emailed support and was amazed to get a reply within the hour, this was late in the evening too.

bought a dd camo tarp as the red alpkit one was a bit loud and got me noticed, used it for the first time this weekend and the quality it sh1te, missing loops to attach guy lines, untidy sewing, not impressed really. but to answer your question, i think its always best to look as inconspicuous as poss

I'm the same, I think that there kit is great value and even better customer service.
