NZ Topo50 South Island - Reviews, Revenue and Downloads - Apple App Store

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.

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. Other datasets can be imported.

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, 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. 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.

Love this app

It has everything you need for outdoor recreation. The one feature I would like is the ability to show the names of multiple saved waypoints on screen. This could be a user selected on/off feature to reduce screen clutter. You can display a single waypoint name and info by tapping it. But the ability to have a named series of waypoints on screen would be an advantage.

Great database but…

Differential update? Why do you still need to download the whole lot?

Accurate

This is great for general use. I use it for hunting and it works well.

Worth it

It’s great, never had a free app do what this does!

Great app

The best topo map app I have used in New Zealand

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!).

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.

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.

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.

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.
