It looks like a really solid tool for people who live in USA, Canada and NZ; but if you want to use it outside of those countries you’re stuck with the world map. Unfortunately there just is not enough landmarks and features on the world map to make it a reliable navigational aid. I’ll happily revisit this review if the developer can partner with an Australian map provider.
Ive tried and tried with this app. Excessive battery use Errors is renewing map passes Tracking drop outs when it matters Poor map coverage for places that are not the usa. Basically if you are serious about safety in tracking back country in all conditions, try something else.
I started using this app in Australia and I was sceptical about what I’d experience. I’ve been using it for almost a year now I’m really remote areas and I’m finding trails everywhere as soon as I hit regular hiking areas. I’ve also realised more recently that it has a whole bunch of features I didn’t notice at first like the ability to geo-tag photos and record trail progress. I now use it when I’m trailrunning to track elevation, speed and progress at the same time as checking I’m heading in the right direction. Naming and saving trails is also easy and quick. Just make sure you download all the maps of the area you are on your way to visit BEFORE you get there so that once you lose phone reception and the satellites kick in, you’ll have detailed maps for reference. 😉
Why can’t I have a perpetual licence? Why don’t you have a perpetual licence so I don’t have to pay every year to cache some maps?
This App saved the day. A while back, hiking in fresh snow, I was following cairns and found myself at the top of a cliff. Not a person within 100 kilometres. Looking back and trying to discover where I went wrong I realised I was not going to find the buried trail. Then I remembered I had loaded this App in my phone. No service there but the maps were all there and the GPS placed me on the map. As I zoomed in I found the trail I was hiking. That was unexpected as it was a rather esoteric trail that not many know about. I was able to immediately find my way back to the trail and relied on the App, rather than the cairns, for the rest of the trip. Thanks!
I have been using topo maps for about 8-9 mths now and it has been an excellent land navigation tool and a very ease app to play with. I am a member of the Phuket HHH and this is reflected in my nickname. I love walking and running and especially finding new exciting places for my running club to explore. I am one of many who set the trails for others to follow. Topo maps has made my work in the field and back on the desktop so much easier. I plan to use for many years to come and look forward to more great ideas and upgrades. Thanks topo maps, its awsome. Just an update. I am a regular user of this awsome app and each time I use it I find new ways to make my hiking experience better. Keep the good trails coming
Great App
To those thinking about this app option: Don't spend your money here. Just do the free version if you must. 1. I Paid for High Resolution... & got nothing different. 2. Maps take waaaaay toooo long to load (you don't want to wait 2 minutes just for a single view to load do you?) My connection is plenty fast enuff - maybe there's a server problem?. To the developers of this app: you have got to lift your speeds and map detail quality.
