IHikeGPS : Classic Topo Maps for Negative User Reviews

✓ QuébecDosent work un Québec.SimcotVersion: 5.2

✓ It works but....Good app for hunting, hiking or even tracking. I like the fact that you can enter shared coordinates and track your own with different icons. There’s are plenty of default roads and waypoints that help your progress and the offline maps are a plus. I would like to see more map options, especially with the offline maps. I don’t always know what the terrain ahead of me looks like, so a more detailed map would really help out there. Also, when I am tracking from one grid to the next, the downloaded map just disappears until I double tap on the white area, then the map I just left disappears. I need to screen shot and send my progress for work and that is a real problem if I can’t show where I was at. Within the last few days, the app won’t find my location. It’ll just take me to the last map I downloaded, not my current location. I need coordinates of where I’m at. Not very useful anymore. I might delete app and pay again for something else that is more reliable..This guy48Version: 8.3.1

✓ Lots of room for improvementAs others have noticed, the lag in panning or zooming a map is horrible, and then you are apt to be scolded by the app for pressing while the sceen is refreshing. Sheesh! Several other map apps deal with this ok. Another interface gotcha is the main map window. Any pan will kill the autocenter. If you close and reopen the app, it centers in some default spot. Ah, you think, I shall press the My Location button and all will be well! Nope. You have to quintuple (!) click on the map. Charming. I like the profile idea and showing your route on the map. But in practice there are flaws. Profile is oblivious to gaps. I got only 1/10th of a one mile ski on the profile though I left the app on. Looked at the profile and there were these funny steps, plus total distance was wrong. Would prefer gaps estimated by distance between points on gap sides (which are obvious on map). This will be tricky to fix when profile not cleared between different places. Maybe a smart splitter to make new profiles if different day or more than xxx km apart? Adding Forest Service maps a huge plus in much of the west, and arguably the best reason to get this. No mosaiced maps, only one at a time. I found the map addition process cumbersome and non intuitive despite several options for finding maps..Cjones-CUVersion: 0

✓ Only useful for finding yourselfThis is a terrible app if you want to look back at you hikes. All tracks are the same color. I used this app all weekend, we went on six different hikes. Some as short as two miles one that was eight. The screen is a total mess of pink lines leading out from camp. I can't make out one from another. It gets three stars because of the ease of downloading maps and its functionality as a gps. Do not buy this app if you want to permanently track your hikes. This app needs the ability to stop a current track, name it save it, color both the track and individual waypoints, save those tracks and then have a list of waypoints or tracks that I have saved and be able to display those saved tracks or waypoints on the screen while recording my new current track..SillybeppoVersion: 6.0.2

✓ Maps Seem PoorI couldn’t believe I bought this! The map quality is extremely poor..Nickname 7777777Version: 8.2.5

✓ I am very upset !I am very upset that you do sell something on the canadian store that does not have canadian maps ..AramisQuebecVersion: 0

✓ Maps are extremely old.Maps for my area are well over 35 years old. Does not reflect federal turnpike that has been in service for over 35 years. What other state/federal infrastructure is missing..SpitseVersion: 8.2.6

✓ Clunky, funky, tedious, painful.The user interface is pretty bad. To download a map takes 5 steps and after a single quad has been downloaded, you have to start from ground zero to get the next map. Tedious and DOS-like. The index map SHOULD show a grid of maps and the user simply selects the quad or range of quads and click install. After the maps are installed you can only view one quad at a time. If your trail or destination crosses quads, you have to leave the current map and go to another. Hardly elegant or practical when trying to navigate along a map boundary or want to see a larger overview. This is the only mapping app I have seen that doesn't have the capacity to mosaic adjoining quads. The only time I use this any more is when I need to view USFS quads. My go-to topographic app is TOPO. It is cheaper, quicker, WAY more intuitive and much more robust. There may be better apps out there, but iHikeGPS isn't one of them..HousewolfVersion: 3.4
