## NZ Topo50 South Island Description
This app provides complete offline topographic map coverage of the South Island of New Zealand from the LINZ Topo50 1:50k scale map series.  The maps are all contained in the installation so there is no additional need for downloads, no need for phone or wifi signal, no slow server issues, no account signups, no missing tiles, and no additional map fees. Just install for seamless off-line zooming and panning across the whole island down to 1:50k scale. The app also includes 1:50k resolution satellite images for the island, and elevation data. Additional aerial imagery can be downloaded.

Other integrated data includes DOC hunting permit boundaries, DOC huts, campgrounds, and tracks, Fish and Game access points, Te Araroa trails, Public Conservation Land boundaries, selected public road parcels, and many more.

The app has a full suite of navigation functions including GPS location, compass orientation, distance to map locations, track recording and graphing, route creation and following, hillshade and slope angle overlays, import/export of gpx and kml files, search functions for named places and user data. Add and edit your own locations and routes and plot elevation profiles. Set proximity alarms. Live location sharing. Use your camera view to identify surrounding peaks and match with local topography. Uses an intuitive simple interface with one-touch access to all functions.

LINZ TOPO250 series maps are used at lower zoom levels for easier navigation.

Perfect for outback use out of cell phone range. GPS and maps function fully without phone coverage. No need to cache files in advance either as they are all fully installed with the app. Popular with trampers, hikers, runners, bikers, search and rescue (SAR), hunters, boaters, flying, paragliding, as well as survey applications.

Note that continuous use of GPS will run down the battery faster than when not using the GPS. The NZTopo50 app gives you full control over when GPS is used. The map can be used without GPS, intermittently with GPS for spot checking of location, continuously for logging while the app is open, or for continuous background logging when the phone is off. 

Check our website for links to user guides and useful tips and tricks.

The in-app purchases are for an optional contribution to ongoing app development, or for selected additional third party data sets. They don't affect the functionality of the app or the availability of updates.

Feel free to get in touch with any suggestions.

## NZ Topo50 South Island Reviews in New Zealand

### ***** "Perfect for this fisherman"
I love the offline ability of the app.  Once on the river the distance measurement is good for figuring out distance back to the car.  The continuous improvement is also very reassuring for long term use.  The compass orientation modes are very helpful when in the bush looking for river access points.  I could go on, I use it exclusively.  I reckon a small charge for this quality product would be well worth it.
-- 42southern, 2024-12-05

### ***-- "Not happy with upgrade"
Loved the old version. This upgrade is terrible.
-- Lpwa, 2024-11-01

### ***** "Amazing App!"
Definitely saved me so many times when I’ve been close to being lost. Tracks you without service. It’s very detailed and has all the trails!
-- Maggielee134, 2024-06-03

### ***-- "Great database but…"
Differential update? Why do you still need to download the whole lot?
-- Talabzs, 2024-01-30

### ***** "Accurate"
This is great for general use. I use it for hunting and it works well.
-- @koputai, 2023-12-23

### ***** "Great app"
The best topo map app I have used in New Zealand
-- JoshuaH2004, 2023-10-04

### ***** "Best NZ Topo for iOS"
By far the best NZ Topo map app(s) for iOS.
All the features you need, but still simple and straightforward to use. Highly recommended.
Really really hoping that the developer will make an Apple Watch version (please!).
-- Beanstalker, 2023-02-09

### ***** "Fast and accurate"
I really like this app. I use GPS professionally for logging vegetation points and this app is faster and almost as accurate as a dedicated GPS. The only thing it doesn’t do is average a location. It would be nice if the font size could be changed for those with failing eyesight, and if multiple waypoints could be deleted at once. Loading points is very easy but sending multiple points and drawn boundaries is problematic.
-- NZrow, 2023-01-25

### ****- "Update needed"
I love this app with my whole heart but the topo map is a little out of date and doesn’t show some of the newer tracks and hutts.
-- bidmrxickma, 2022-11-27

### ***** "Great app"
I used Gaia GPS for my 24-week through-hike of Te Araroa. It worked fine, but required downloads of individual maps and was very complex.

In comparison, this app has fewer features and is therefore much simpler to use. It also includes a map for the whole island, with the ability to turn on/off locations of trails, DoC huts, hunting areas, etc. I’ve found it to be almost perfect for Great Walks and other multi-day tramps.

One minor annoyance is that it is hard to click on some features - such as huts, to see the hut names - without instead hitting other features such as the neighbouring trail.
-- Newzild, 2022-07-14

### *---- "App wont install"
Waste of money, i’ve tried installing 4 times but it consistently fails at about 75% of install process. I have a reliable connection too so can’t blame that.
-- woodsyboy, 2022-05-10

### ***** "One Of The Handiest Apps"
I regularly use NZ Topo for checking terrain and tracking whether hunting or 4WDing. The stats feature on a recorded track is very useful and accurate, and the map itself is sufficiently detailed. 
Thanks for a great app.
-- tin4u4, 2022-03-22

### ***** "South Tikotatahi Hut Stewart Island"
Great app. Hey just a quick one, can you update the hut position for South Tikotatahi as it’s in the wrong bay. Cheers.
-- DrBlk067, 2022-02-22

### ***** "Great app"
However latest upgrade has changed time zones on data exported.
-- Ardlamont, 2021-12-07

### ***** "Opens up a new world!"
Awesome apps, I have both of these and they are flawless!
-- JunglistJon, 2021-08-15

### ***-- "Increased Zoom Level not a bonus"
Increased Zoom Level is not an advantage because  the image is too pixelated to be useful
-- Baudcranium, 2021-04-10

### ***-- "Brought wrong island🤷🏻‍♂️"
Brought the South Island by mistake, haven’t downloaded, any chance of a refund so I can get the North Island instead? Thanks look forward to your response.
-- 2006lts/sb, 2021-03-24

### ***-- "Problems with consistency"
App itself is great but it keeps closing such that I’ve just tried to delete it and reload it but it’s now taking forever . Needs service.
-- Oceancrawler, 2021-03-20

### ***** "Quality"
Love the app very useful! But I find the satellite quality very low and hard to make out some landmarks for ranging and marking proposes. Cheers
-- Shadow6654, 2021-02-17

### ****- "DOC hunting block names"
Great app, I’m using a IPhone and after enabling the DOC hunting area layer on to this I cannot see what the block is named. A friend of mine has a Samsung and the same app and it shows up on his phone. Please can this feature be added to the Apple app?
-- Sth Island Hunter, 2021-01-28
