Scenic Map Western USA for Positive User Reviews
✓ ExcellentI travelled to the southwest on a hiking/ camping road trip to two weeks and used this app for city and backcountry navigation. it worked really well. I had no data so everything preloaded was great to have..Version: 1.6.1
✓ Essential when out in the backcountryThis app is easily the best I've used of its type. I use it routinely when backcountry skiing and hiking in the western United States. It is my first choice when planning tours and making adjustments on route. The maps are excellent, clear and well detailed and the UI is intuitive. No need to download maps is great. I discovered it also includes Hawaii which was an unexpected pleasure. Everything you want, nothing you don't. 5/5.Version: 1.8.4
✓ An Exceptional set of maps!While it does take a lot of memory, I have found it well worth it. Since I don't have an IPhone, I just use my Ipad 2 with wifi and a GPS via blue tooth. Now I'm able to save my trips without needing cell phone reception. I now go where I wish and without getting lost! The 3D is so worth it!.Version: 1.5
✓ The best map appA topo app you can use offline? What more could an outdoorsman want. I only give it 4/5 stars just because no one believes that 5/5 star reviews are authentic. I love this app and use it all the time in the back country where there’s no cell or wifi. Keep up the great work!.Version: 1.8.8
✓ FunA fun map. The 3d rendering could be helpful. I enjoyed looking at it when hiking today. I was looking for an app that would support importing of gpx waypoints. This does not but the developer assured me that it is coming with the next update..Version: 1.4.3
✓ Just too big.I was trying to load the update but Apple says there is not enough room to load the update. I even deleted the app giving 4.3 GB free and it still won't let me reinstall. A shame as it's a good app..Version: 1.5
✓ MapI love this app. The only thing missing on it (as well as every other mapping app) is a black background for night driving. The iPad is simply too bright in my car while driving through rural Montana in the dark..Version: 1.5.1
✓ Use it all the time -- its a wonderful helpI use this all the time when hiking and 4-wheeling. The biggest advantage is that the maps are downloaded onto your phone/iPad so you don't need to have an internet connection to see the map -- just a GPS connection to know where you are on it. Lots of detail -- it seems to show almost all dirt roads although very few hiking trails. It's one of my very most favorite apps ...Version: 1.4
✓ Good DealI have both this and the Eastern version. See my extended comments there..Version: 1.2
✓ Great for desolate hiking areas and works using Bad Elf GPS locatorI gotta give this one this 5 stars. We've used this app in hard to reach areas with zero tower signal available on the iPhone 4 and this app works flawlessly with Bad Elf GPS iPhone chip. It's nice to see where you are headed, range in and go. Tracking is a great add on and shows distance traveled, time and elevation. If you need to return to the starting point the app will show you the exact return trail to take you right back. My only complaint would be the map could have a bit more detail. Definitely worth the 10 dollars.. Be sure to spend some time on the website to learn the basics of this app before you head out. The Bad Elf GPS uses the iPhone battery for power so it doesn't hurt to have an added battery pack for the iPhone if you are out on the trail for an extended time..Version: 1.4.3
✓ How To DownloadThere is a How To Download page on the Scenic Map web site. App developers have no control over the app download process but there are simple steps that always solve download problems. Please contact me before writing a negative review. I like to help my customers. -Deneloper.Version: 1.6
✓ Finally, a map app I can use off roadI have tried at least 15 different map apps and this is the first one that I find good enough to depend upon. I do a lot of off-road driving, and more often than not, I am far from cell zones and any ability to dynamically download maps. Scenic Map is requires no prep-work before driving off the grid. It is a completely self contained app and while not perfect, I am rating it a 5 to demonstrate my satisfaction with it relative to other apps I have used. Many of the roads I drive are on BLM land and unmaintained, and the 3D capability of SM is indispensable when I am trying to get myself back to civilization. Additionally, the ability to create Tracks allows me to revisit areas I know passable and in the winter, to navigate in deep snow when the roads are no longer distinguishable from the rest of the terrain. I highly recommend this app..Version: 1.5
✓ Excellent!!!Perfect for those areas where AT&T service is non existent. (everywhere in the West).Version: 1.2
✓ I really like itI love the fact it does not need cell coverage to work. I can be in the middle of no where and have this thing show me my location. Far to many people get into the hills and get lost. Then cant even tell the SAR team their location. This turns my cellphone into a mapping GPS without cell coverage. I love it. But know this app is big. Still loving it! 9 June 2019 I have used it deep canyons and it still works..Version: 1.8.7
✓ A Gazateer In Your PocketLet's face it. In a world with Google Earth and satelite-based 3D mapping applications we have all become a bit spoiled when it come to mapping applications. For those of you who can still remember life before Google/Keyhole brought us a 3D spinning globe there used to be paper map books called Gazateers which offered high detail topographic maps for small regions. The scenic map series is the gazateer updated for the 21st century. Because it's all vector based you can zoom in to your heart's content with fantastic detail (gazateer style detail - not road atlas style) and choose what information is overlayed. The coverage area is huge - 1/3rd of the continental U.S. Most importantly it's all resident in your iPhone/iPod - no internet connection required. This is a fantastic product that will mostly be lost on a jaded public. Be advised this product requires about 2GB of space on your device..Version: 0
✓ Awesome. Really nice for pilots too!This is a great app. While we use it for flying, it would be great for any sort of traveling. Kinda like G00gle Earth, but doesn't need an live Internet connection. The person who said it was unusable must have got the interface into "joystick mode" by accident. I'm recommending this to all my pilot friends..Version: 1.4.3
✓ Spectacular app!There is a bit of a learning curve, so plan on spending an hour on the developer's web site playing around and figuring out how to use it. Once you get the hang of it, it's a pretty amazing app. Vacationing in Moab, Utah, I was able to get a really good idea of the terrain we were heading in to; the 3D feature lets you travel right up canyons, spin them around, etc. The fact that the app shows local place names, not just the cities, makes it very easy to know exactly where you might be headed. Two thumbs up! One downside is that the app takes a lot of space on your device; that's how it can work without web access. Even after making room on my phone, the App Store told me I didn't have enough space; I had to restart my 4S before I could do the download..Version: 1.4.3
✓ Best driving map ever!I have been using this app for the past two years. It has continued to improve with several major updates over that time. I love using it while driving (although it is great for hikes as well and I know that pilots love it). I love seeing the terrain rotating as my car winds its way through mountain roads. It's simply icredible. It is the kind of moving map you would expect to see in the movies, not on the dash board of your own car. Several other users report that they don't like the 3D view in the new version. I also like the 2D view some of the time. That's why the program has presets buttons along the bottom of the screen. I can set one to be the 3D view and another to be a 2D view. A simple swipe gesture can tilt the map to whatever angle I want.. Get the map presets setup how you want before you drive and then you will be able to keep your eyes on the road and just tap the presets to switch views. This is not a navigation style map. Those are great if you want directions from point A to point B. You can run multiple maps at the same time and leave the navigation map running in the background while Scenic Map shows you the terrain ahead. You will still hear the voice prompts for upcomming turns. I prefer to have a separate GPS receiver so my iPad can play audio books in the background. Get this app and you will be wondering why all maps can't look this good? Sure Google maps are great but not when you are out of cellular range or have a low bandwidth. This one app covers a vast portion of the country and never uses any valuable wireless data..Version: 1.3
✓ Awesome offline map detailI've been waiting for something like this and have tried other apps. This is what I've been waiting for. A good solid map app that doesn't need wifi or data coverage. Very nice one too. 1.7GB of data for the western US? I don't care, this is exactly what I want. In addition, I'm a pilot and although there are great aviation apps like Foreflight, ScenicMaps allows me to see more detail about the area I'm flying over..Version: 0
✓ Love It! Works Great…Must Have when no Cell Service.Love It! Works Great…Must Have when no Cell Service..Version: 1.8.14
✓ Great appI was looking for an offline map. And the scenic maps are perfect! I don't need an Internet connection. It has helped us get around when we make a wrong turn or need to know if another street intersects. LOVE IT!.Version: 1.5.1
✓ Finally, just what I wantedI am an avid hiker and have downloaded just about every app that could display TOPO and Terrain maps that the store had to offer. I have never enjoyed any of the opencycle maps before, but this app really makes them live up to their potential. I have been using this app for a few weeks now and at least here in Idaho, this map is completely accurate (streets are where they should be). The GPS works wonderfully, the maps are detailed and beautiful. I still have to refer back to my delorme TOPO on my UMPC for campsites missing from this package, but 90% of what I need this app serves up. I hope to eventually be able to export waypoints and import GPX tracks, but until then, I will continue to enjoy use of this app. I am about to buy an ipad because of this map app, it's that useful!.Version: 0
✓ ExcellentExcellent mapping app for all of my off road adventures. Very accurate and detailed..Version: 1.5.1
✓ PLEASE COMBINE!!This is a 5 Star App! The graphics are of high quality and being able to zoom in that close blow me away! You have 3 maps of this type. Please combine them into one app. The price you are charging is well worth the quality of work that has went into this app. I understand that the file size of having all 3 combined into 1 would be close to 6 gig, but that is still is better that having 3apps for some of us. Maybe a way to buy the extra maps inside the app we already have? Charge the same price or give a discount, eater / or, still worth the price. BUYERS NOTE: Best topo map as of yet in the app store. A must download, if your into mother earth....Version: 0
✓ Great App!App provides GPS locations with an iPad 3G without having to be within AT&T's coverage area. Works like a standalone GPS since map data is preloaded into the iPad. This features does consume 1.8 G bytes of memory. Do to the large size of the App download into iTunes with a broadband connection. It can then be loaded into your iPad via a USB connection..Version: 0
✓ Awesome!This program exceeds in every way, quickly and without Internet needed. Far better than other similar programs I have tried-more than happy!.Version: 1.3
✓ Very satisfyingI love maps and this product delivers. Visually stunning. I find some of the criticism ridiculous, I don't own 4 WD and don't plan to use this map to navigate on unpaved roads, also I wonder how many suitcases of $10 paper maps would be needed to get all the data contained in this product. In my opinion it is well worth the price..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Impressive AppBeautiful renderings of the topography of the Western US. Very useful for driving with the offline mode, but I do wish it had the ability to import waypoints from Google Maps or a GPX file, for road trip destinations..Version: 1.5.1
✓ Great little app!I love this little app. It has already come in very handy when I needed a map and I wasn't near a network. Also, because of this app, I finally figured out the elevation at my house..Version: 0
✓ Quite a featWell I haven't yet got my 3G iPad to try this out on the big screen, but I did install it on my iPod touch and this app is nothing short of remarkable. Even on a 2nd generation Touch it's fast, beautiful, and amazingly detailed. On the iPad this is going to be flat-out spectacular. I never thought a map of this complexity could ever be brought to a portable device, but it has been. Superb job!.Version: 0
