Topo Maps

The new beta topo maps 2 has zero functionality, so please don’t stop supporting the original.

I have used this app for years, iPhone 4 days. I wish the developer would update the maps but even as it is it is far more useful than most. It seems like it’s been abandoned which is sad. But it’s still worth it, You pay ONCE and have access to download Topo maps of the entire U.S. for as long as you want. All on your phone so no data connection needed. All is not roses though. - alignment is seriously bad in some places. Laughably so. Central Washington state has maps so far out of alignment that adjoing maps look like cards tossed randomly on a table. I have paper USGS Topo maps of the exact same sections and those align perfectly. My National Geographic Topo maps of the same area align perfectly as does my Gaia GPS app. Not sure why these are so badly out of whack. Seems to happen somewhere in areas of various different states i have downloaded maps for -there needs to be a GPS tracking feature. So the app lays down a trail that follows your progress and the tracks can be saved and recalled. The app is really lacking in usefulness without that feature. I am still having to use Topo! Which has this feature so I can save tracks of my adventures. I would love to not have to use Topo! anymore though because it was built for windows 95/XP and that ship has long since sailed. -this isn’t 2000 anymore so the 36 map or whatever limitation that exists when downloading hi-res versions of maps should be removed. These maps are small and downloading even an entire state would be very manageable on todays fast WiFi connections. - need to be able to import GPX files -

A very useful app. Thanks for keeping this app updated.

I am having the same trouble as others. I can’t open the app. Is there a bug fix yet?

When I got my IPhone 14 this quit working. I deleted it, reinstalled it, and it was even worse. Don’t waste your time

i’ve been using this on backpacking trips for years. It’s fabulous. What could be better than TopoMaps? Thank you for a great product.

Will score better when update fixes bug.

Used Topo maps on a 5 days wilderness trip. Cell phone was on airplane mode to preserve battery life. The Topo map app let me know exactly where I was every step of the way. Just download all the Topo maps you need ahead of time for free and then you are set.

I absolutely love this app! It is seriously the best on the market. I use it for work everyday and would recommend it to anyone. You don’t need cell service once you have downloaded the maps you need. I live abroad and cannot find an app that matches the perfection that this one does. I hope someday soon there will be expansions for the app to include the UK and Europe! Any chance let me know thanks!!

I like almost everything about this app. Suggested improvement: 1) Allow downloads of satellite imagery in tiles. I have to use other apps for this, but I’d love the option to zoom in and auto switch from Topo to Sat imagery. It’s annoying on other apps you can download imagery, but you never know how much data is being overwritten in the cache memory of the app…so you never know if looking at a new area cause the other area to ‘zero out.’ Downloading tiles would ensure that anything downloaded remains downloaded in only the areas you want. 2) Allow line of sight calculator to add an up to 15% beyond calculation for more realistic propagation of radio waves. The line of sight tool is a fantastic for estimating UHF reception probability while using the direction and distance calculator. If there was a slider to add a yellow color cast to anything 1-15% beyond line of sight, this would assist in estimating UHF/VHF ground wave propagation/refraction fresnel effect of RF energy. 3) Add center point options for your location other than blue dot. All in all, great app…could be even better.
