I’ve been using this app for 5 years +. I travel world wide and can download a map for any location for offline use or where cell roaming is costly. It’s GPS reliability is stable and speed and elevation are accurate. I trail hike a lot and it is invaluable in low cell reception areas. Its maps are world coverage. Absolutely must need for all map uses. GREAT!!
This app does amazing stuff. I finally purchased it after friends described it. My only gripe is that it doesn’t support the Apple Watch. Am I the only one who thinks this would be terrific? A tap on the wrist when approaching a waypoint or junction. Or when you wander off the route. Or when your heart rate exceeds a set point. How far to the top of the hill? How steep is this trail I am hiking? So much info to be had without having to hold your phone in your hand.
I do a lot of driving on backroads, and this is the best app I’ve used for downloading offline maps, and recording tracks. Simple and clean user experience. Would be perfect (5 stars) if it had CarPlay support.
This app is outstanding. The best map app I have…. Nothing else comes close.
I got tired of paying 30-40 dollars a year for the big name trail apps just for the ability to download offline maps. MapOut is an awesome alternative to that, giving you basic topographic maps of anywhere with only the useful info. I used it to map a backpacking circuit in Glacier National Park and it’s worked awesome so far. I can’t speak for the record features because I only use it for mapping, but the tour planning features are useful and easy to use. Easy five stars.
I have been using MapOut for years to track hikes and paddle trips. It helps me find alternate routes, track mileage, and keep track of where I’ve already been when exploring an area repeatedly. I love being able to use it offline without eating network or battery. The only tiny complaint is that if you’re somewhere very steep, like the Alps, it has a hard time holding a steady GPS perspective and then draws a zigzag, increasing your recorded mileage. But this is a tiny thing relative to overall great value without a subscription.
This app seems to hit a load of points that are important to me - distance, elevation. It has a pretty cool 3d option to look at the terrain. It is relatively easy to use and I found it downloads the Maps I need relatively fast and big enough area that it is easy to nab the maps before going off the network. I am still slightly stumped when the app will be able to select a trail- it doesn’t seem to work unless one is currently on the trail, but that sometimes does seem to work either 🤷♂️ A few things I would like: Be able to enter some coordinates and go to that spot. And One thing that seems to be missing on all map apps- hiking - is a searchable database of places. This app is no different as far as I can tell. Like recently I wanted to get in the area of cutthroat pass and look at the hike- I know exactly where it is or I have to use some other app to find it and then come back to this app.
been using ride with GPS for 4 years , but so far this blows that away, and I haven’t seemed to scratch the surface of it’s intuitive interface. Thankyou
I think after 10 years of using iOS, this is the first app I have reviewed. I have several tools I use for navigating while hiking and biking, but there are several standout features of MapOut. First, offline maps are a must, and the OpenStreetMaps are pretty good, and include topography and many trails/paths in addition to roads. Second, .GPX import works very well, and routes are easily named and organized. Graphs for elevation of the route are clear. Third, the method of creating new routes is genius. Double clicking sets the start point, and then you drag over map features (roads, trails, etc) to draw the route. The app snaps the route to known features, but also allows for “off trail” routes. Very intuitive and fast. Finally, a feature that I have always wanted, is you can set a start end end point on a particular route, and it overlays mileage and elevation from that point. So, for example, on a multi-day trip you can set the day’s starting point and have all statistics begin at that point. Great work!
