Topo Maps for Negative User Reviews

Nice maps.To bad they are from the 70s.Version: 0

Very very badAt this price, its a rip off!.Version: 1.15

No updates, disappointingIf I had known this app would not get regular updates I would never have bought it. Both the older maps and lack of tracking is way behind the curve. Look elsewhere..Version: 1.16

Not intuitive at allI just bought this app and uploaded a gpx file into it. I can see that the file is in the app with all my waypoints and tracks. But for some reason I can't see the waypoints and tracks on the map. I see no button that indicates how to do so. Nothing. I hate this app and wish I hadn't wasted my money. Total garbage as far as I can tell. I did download GPS Tracks and it works beautifully..Version: 1.16

Doesn’t support basic GPX TracksI can’t believe I paid $10 for this app. It’s so poorly supported. Why bother with GPX support if you’re only going to support waypoints? Also I got lost once because the app must be closed and re-opened to update one’s GPS location on a map after locking my phone. Otherwise it will tell you that you’re in the same spot until you finally figure out that you’ve been moving while your GPS location hasn’t..Version: 1.16

BlehAbsolutely not worth $8. It looks like it simply stitched together public Topo maps which you access by clicking on regions overlaid on a google earth map with no local detail . No dot of current location on actual topo map, and the maps are old. It’s telling me I’m at 34’ elevation when I know I am 9 and can literally see the ocean. I need to ask for a refund. This is what you get when you buy without a trial. I do not trust the reviews on this one....Version: 1.16

Horrible mapsCanadian maps are horrible. Nothing compare to the maps on the government website. Save your money!!.Version: 0

horrible application the map are not up to date and are simply paper maps. YOU HEARD ME! No sattalite or hybrid! No CaNaDa MAPS!!! Good if free but it's not. Waste of money..Version: 0

Outdated mapPulled up the map of the third largest city in MN. The map is decades old. Shows old names of buildings and structures that are not even there anymore. Also fails to show newer buildings and locations.Version: 1.16

Poor quality mapsI would save your money. Maps are just scans of usgs topo maps. Scan quality is poor (low resolution), the ones i tested all appeared to be crooked. I uninstalled the app and asked for a refund by never heard back from the vendor..Version: 1.16

Old Topo MapsDownload the app and proceeded to download too maps. Installed too maps. Looked at top maps and they were old. Not worth even looking at them since some were so old that highways built in the 70’s weren’t on them. Big waste of time..Version: 1.15

Really???You are better of with google earth and mapquest. Really....that's all this program is..Version: 0

IPod issue with Bad Elf GPS 1000Be aware, Bad Elf GPS 1000 won't work on a IPod touch 4th generation when using Topo maps. Topo maps doesn't use it at all... Deceiving!.Version: 1.15

Bubbly bobMaps are way out of date . We're talking at least 30 years. No joke! Lots of room for improvment. Now if they could acquire "BackWoods Canada" maps then we'd see the thousands of miles of logging roads that are out there. Nice for having some kind of map handy, but my Garmin GPS blows this away and I loaded my up-to-date topoCanada maps in it also. This app is "OK" just for play but I don't play around in the bush when your life may depends on it. I hope they actually begin to get serious with this app. There's a lot of possibilities to take advantage of in the future of maps and GPS. So far this app looks like it's been quickly pieced together for a quick buck. Now let's get on with some serious updates. We only got .99 worth of our $7.99 investment so far. Time will tell. On my Bubble scale I say 3 bubbles out of ten..Version: 0

Do not buyAs if I payed for this app. Does not zoom in and will not show the entire map. It's a photo of a topo map I want my money back.Version: 1.11

Not greatGood idea to have topo maps handy in the palm of your hand. However the maps are so outdated they are almost useless around urban area. I could onLy get coordinates in lat and long no utm. They mean well but have a lot of improvement to make..Version: 0

Outdated mapsMaps offered for Canada are over 10 years old. Lots of roads missing..Version: 1.16

Very disappointedWhile this has some nice features, I was very disappointed to learn that it does not support tracking. And the very first screenshot of the app in the appstore shows a map with a TRACK on it!!!! That's very misleading and I want a refund!!!!! From what i can tell, this app has been out for a long time, and the manual says "tracking features are coming soon..." Where are they? The developer hasn't provided an update in almost a year. Even free map apps provide tracking!!.Version: 1.16

One ProblemTopo maps are so out of date it's really bad. I checked the maps of my area and in 1958 there was no "my area". According to the map I'm out in the wilderness. I'm afraid accuracy is a big problem. The maps are nice to look at but the airport here was moved in 1976 and these maps have it in its old location. About 4 miles in the wrong direction. Too bad I really wanted to like this app..Version: 1.16

Topo maps CanadaI like this app but for the price I would like to see a few things added First off the located is to big and blocks out everything else Second I cannot ad waypoints or mark my path, or find a certain destination. Please upgrade to allow for this. And this will be the best and most useful app I know.Version: 0

Worthless. Want a refundMaps are outdated and worthless. Put in location and map puts me miles away. No tracking features. Worst $8 I have ever been scammed out of. Doesn't look like there is any refund options..Version: 1.16

No MGRSLooks great.... But do not waste your money like i did if u want MGRS. you can input the grids, but it only gives u long & lats. Useless to me. Waste of $7.99. Id give it 5 stars if it gave u MGRS....Version: 1.9.2

BadNot accurate showing another location then were you are. Nothing line up. Not worth the money. Better free maps..Version: 1.15

Only USALooks to have good features but only works in the US. Waste of money for me. Should be clear on itunes that is has limited maps so that others don’t get caught.Version: 1.15

App doesn't download correctlyWill score better when update fixes bug..Version: 1.16

Just scans of old mapsAs the title says its scans of old and sometimes outdated paper maps. Not a very good user interface either. There are better apps that don't rely on scans..Version: 1.16

Good application, but needs to be improvedThe best advantage of the application is the price, which is quite competitive. Maps are easy to load and view, although each high definition map takes almost 50M memory (simple paper scans), so the available memory should be considered. I have rated the application as 3 stars instead of the 5 because of the following functionality must be a part of any topographical application (at least from my point of view): 1. Real time GPS tracking. To find the current position on the map a user has to touch a small "button" on the screen. How I suppose to track my real time movement on 4X4, ATV, bike, etc.? There should be a way to lock GPS tracking so it would refresh the current position automatically (I believe it's not a hard thing to add though). 2. Dropping a pin with description (like camp, waypoint etc.). In case if you found a place which you would like to visit again - you should be able to store the location. Ability to add pictures to the stored locations could be a very nice feature too (after all, iPhone has a camera). 3. Storing tracks. That was a bit surprising a topo map application does not have this functionality. 4. I think the user interface could be neater too. The most annoying thing is the thick blue crosshair of the current GPS position - it is so huge that it even does not fit the screen when you zoom to the maximum level of details. Although the crosshair is partially transparent, I believe the application will look much better with some small and nice 3D pointer which would not grow or shrink when you zoom the map. I hope the mentioned functionality would be included in one of the next versions, and then I would definitely give the app the highest rating..Version: 0
