Offline Topo Maps App Reviews

Been searching for an app to satisfy our backpacking trips. There were a couple others that provided downloadable maps but never worked as clean as this one.

I use around 6 map apps on my iPhone at any one time and have tried several others. My main use is route finding by car in remote Western areas with only cached maps. I use for hiking, too, but dont do route finding with waypoints. This app downloads data fast, lets you compare different maps all in one view, and permits saving Google satellite images. It often takes 2 or 3 map types to analyze a location, say for car camping, in advance. I also recommend the various GIS map apps, called Geog[State] or Geographic[State], meaning for each state. They have land ownership, geology, roads, landmarks, fire hazard level, etc. The only data I cant find and save is detailed vegetation.

Works great! Lots of uses in Colorado.

Been needing a good offline topo map app for my hike/photography trips in the mountains. Ive been on the verge of lost a few times and this has everything I need to stay safe and on course. Kudos on the good work! Best $ Ive spent on hiking.

Ive been playing around with this app for a few days. So far I love it. I like being able to see my waypoints on the satellite view as well as the topo view.

I tried a couple other topo softwares that werent nearly as good as this before trying this one. It has a great level of detail and all the functionality I wanted.

Where is the "guide me" button? Bring back the "guide me" button!

Used this on my iPhone while on an Alaskan cruise to show me where we were at any particular time. Figured from the title it didnt need internet but while cruising Glacier Bay and the Inside Passage it wouldnt load any map of the area that was readable. And the location function put us in Vancouver while we were still 500 miles north of there. Maybe its the wrong app for this purpose.

Why hasnt anyone else reviewed it yet? Topo maps are sharp and the GPS positioning in accurate. I love the Sat image map. You cannot get lost with this app! Just make sure you download the map grids while you have service.

Lots of maps available, maybe too many! Cant always zoom in as much as Id like, but very pleased. I think Ive tried every map and navigation app out there, Id say this is the best

Had this app for a couple years and its was great then spent another $10 to upgrade to the GaiaGPS and have been very pleased with the features and support from the trail behind staff.

Great app! Easy to understand and use! David Lorea Farrington

Was a great app. I updated it and all the tracking went away???!

Used this app on remote 4X4 trips...did not let me down!

Great for backcountry hiking. Accurate

Were outdoors people and love being able to see details in the terrain of places we know and new places.

Delivers what it says and is very handy in the back country when you forget your map or in my case are to lazy to go buy one.

Used professionally as an ecologist and while exploring backcountry. Great field tool when a higher quality GPS specific unit is unavailable or w/o maps for the area. Anyone can find thier way around using this, even those with marginal map reading skills.

Simple and easy to use

I need an app with downloadable satellite imagery for offline use. I purchased this app and tested the offline imagery. The highest available resolution is TERRIBLE and unusable. Pales in comparison to the imagery available on Google Earth. If only Google Earth imagery was available for offline use. I can not speak to the use of topographic maps, but for imagery, steer well clear of this app. Having said that, iTunes happily refunded my money. I was very pleased with the manner in which Apple handled this situation.
