GPS Kit HD for Positive User Reviews

✓ Awesome appOne of the best GPS trackers for offline maps. Used it in the Sierra Nevadas, Zion and abroad in Poland, Ecuador and Croatia. Love it!.M0BVersion: 7.0.1

✓ It's wonderful... When you can get the off-line maps to downloadI used this app on my iPad all over the world. I would give it 5 stars, except that now there seems to be an issue with downloading Google based maps and images. I sure hope they get that fixed. Sad to see so many poor reviews, i wonder if they ever watched the instructional videos?.ForgottenNombreVersion: 7.0.1

✓ Nice Update!Wow, the best just keeps getting better! I really like the new free draw mode for offline maps--easiest way to do it I have seen. I don't have a data plan so this lets me get the whole city in one shot. Battery life and accuracy have been really impressive as well. I don't know if it is something you did or just the hardware but it has been pretty awesome. Keep up the good work!.KipahuluBobVersion: 5.6

✓ Awesome 4x4 appThis app just keeps getting better and better. I use this as my primary way of navigating when 4wding remote trails in Australia. The recent improvements to map caching makes it very easy to have maps available when in remote areas with no phone signal. Squawk is handy if your mates have the app as well as you can see where they are on the map. My missus likes to be able to see where I am with the location web sharing when I am away on a trip. I save all my tracks and email them to myself to catalogue in google earth or maps. It would be good to see the developer integrate near maps in Australia if possible. The only other suggestion would be to have an option of a more traditional style inclinometer (like some of the dedicated inclinometer apps) on the dashboard. And a way to zero out the inclinometer angle if your iPad is mounted in the vehicle at an angle and also a way to set rollover limits and warnings. It would be good if there was a way to use gpskit on my iPhone to snap waypoint photos and send or sync them to gpskit on my iPad as it is impractical to use the iPad for that purpose..M SterneVersion: 5.6

✓ Perfect for hiking,,,,Tip: caching maps doesn't work in landscape mode. Make sure to flip your iPad to portrait mode for it to work. I live on an 18,000 acre ranch and hike 2 hours a day looking for caves, dinosaur tracks, and bones. The main problem I had was keeping track of all the places I've hiked, as well as the locations of discoveries made. 18k acres is a 24+ mile perimeter! GPS kit has solved this problem!!! The best part is that the gps works without cell coverage and that I'm able to view maps, real time tracks, and previous track history without any type of internet or phone reception. This is all shown using google satellite along with the property boundary. This app is 100x better than any garmin product such as the Felix and Monterra. Garmin is great for recording tracks, but unfortunately their maps, resolution, and screen size make it close to impossible to view outside of a computer loaded with their base camp software. I need to know where I'm at and where I've been in the field not on my computer! The only complaint that I have is that there is no option for different waypoint/ icon images, garmin even has this. The maps tend to get confusing with dozens of waypoints all looking the same. You don't know if it's a house, cave, waterfall, etc. It would also be nice if there was a way to resize waypoints as they can quickly engulf the map. I've also tried mapmyhike which doesn't offer or do anything I need for my exploring needs. I highly recommend gps kit!.Oxhuntingranch.comVersion: 7.0.1

✓ Great product!Really like this product. Using it a lot on hikes. A lot of cool features. a lot more user friendly than my expensive handheld GPS. although i am carrying my ipad with me and its a little bulky, having the big screen is good for viewing sat view of area. You can take pictures while you are in the app and tag locations along your route with pictures..DakhawkVersion: 6.3.1

✓ In short the Best!I have used this app since its early release back before it had all the advanced features it now has. Back then in version 3.0 it was worth the price as it is accurate and I don't have to carry another device with me. Now that this app has a much cleaner UI and very smart design layout and all the very advanced features such as, Squawk ( see friends locations and speed, live) and all the possible import and export options via email, Dropbox, iTunes, etc, this app is way underpriced for what you are getting. Just to buy a comparable app on my old palm pilot was $49.99 and that lack many of the features and power GPS Kit has. Key features that make this app the great. Works 100% without Internet/data! Maps: Offline maps! Cached in an easy to use interface! Tons of maps!!! As if this app didn't have enough maps already you can add more on your own! I have learned how to add custom map sources and now this app has all the maps I want from the web! USGS Topo! And all sorts of maps! Tracking: Tracks like the best of them and then better. Use the light sensor to automatically turn off and on the screen to save precious power! Let the app notify you that your background tracking will stop soon! Awesome! Pause, resume tracks! Change the color of tracks to color code them. Use the compass, turn off the intrusive figure 8 compass calibration. Tons more features! Dashboard: See all the stats you want in one place! No need to tab over 6 times to see total elevation change just set the easily customized dashboard and you have all the stats you want not the stats the developer lets you see! Never see so many options in the dashboard, glide ratio, moving time, stopped time, inclinometer, plus all the other standard stats. Built flashlight! Yes just click the flashlight out of the more tab, or customize your bottom tabs to have the flashlight readily available. Other cool stuff: Weather stations, social network posting, full graphs for speed-elevation-pace. This review is too long so final words: GET IT! No this is not a turn by turn navigation app it is for the outdoor enthusiast, I use it to Mountain bike, hike, Jeep, geocache, but has tons of uses as it is the most feature rich application on the market. Background processes work the best I have seen in any app. Any review less than 5 stars has a grudge or uses an iPod touch without GPS capabilities..MtnBikerBradVersion: 5.8

✓ The bestThe best..Azbsd1Version: 6.3

✓ Great for Backpacking even with limited supportI bought this app about two years ago while looking for something simple to store POI and images on my trips. Currently using it ons wifi iPad 1 with a Bad Elf attachment for GPS. Tracking and data collection features work great (elevation change, speed, time moving vs stopping, etc). If I had any complaints it would be that only one picture can be attached per waypoint (an album option would be nice) and there does not seem to be a way to reorganize trips if you happen to accidentally star a new trip. Customer support IS sluggish but they do eventually respond. 4 weeks later. Overall not a bad app for the money..Shadow FerretVersion: 6.3.1

✓ Looks good !Nice app with great functionalities. Quite expensive though, hope developer will update it some more in the coming months. At least for iOS 8....PierJesVersion: 7.0.1

✓ Works great for what I’m doingI use it for mapping trail and can send them t others to view.PapajacksVersion: 8.0.4

✓ They fixed itIt was working fine until they updated. Absolutely nothing worked for a while. I gave a bad review and got an email very quickly explaining some last minute changes goofed it up. Then when I updated at least 100 of my waypoints disappeared. Of course as soon as I complained about it, they appeared and everything was back to normal. I love this app and how I can make my fishing on Clear Lake, CA waypoints on Google Earth and import them to my GPS Kit. The customer service from Garafa is second to none. Hoping for pre-track drawing soon..GreggorioVersion: 5.8

✓ Very good, needs some workThis is a great app, but it needs some attention. - The app assumes you ALWAYS want to track your position and tries to find your position (and gives an error if you disable location tracking). This is repeated if you switch away from the app and return. What if I'm just organizing my tracks in the house and don't want to waste my battery using GPS? Should be an option for offline mode. - very difficult to download offline maps, there seems to be a bug that stops me from using the draw area option. Also, every time I try to change the size of the rectangle download area, it just pops me out. - on the data tab, if I sort (e.g. by alpa), my preference is lost as soon as I go to a track and return. - there is no way to tell what the track name is by clicking on a track in the map view (or data view) - there is no way to tell what a waypoint name is on the map in the data tab (I.e. like you can on the map view) Aside from these flaws, the app is great and has some good potential. Looking forward to an update. It's clear the developers know about how to make a great GPS/mapping app..Noneata11Version: 6.3

✓ Awesome APP!I do a lot of 4WDing and Fishing in remote areas and was hunting for a decent GPS app for my iPad, I thought why can't I use my iPad rather than purchase a handheld gps with maps? I looked through the App Store and found a couple of 4WD GPS apps at around $150. I wasn't convinced after reading their revues, seems their price is relevant to the ability to download chartered maps to the iPad when out of cellular range. Well with this app you can download your nominated map to cache and they are google maps straight off the satellite! Plus if your buddies also have the app you can see where they all are in real time! Awesome! Buy it you'll love it!.^^Kenzie^^Version: 6.3

✓ What more?Could you ask for in a handheld gps unit? Cache maps for when you're out of range, track your paths, drop points with photos, notes, etc, and it never crashes. Yet... I've put it to the test and it's fantastic..SpencereblakeVersion: 6.3

✓ I luv it!It's perfect!!!.Danneman8Version: 5.4

✓ WaypointsGreat app. Love the tracks. But would love to see different waypoint symbols..Al4622Version: 6.3.1

✓ This is top appThis is by far the best GPS application I've encountered. It has a great choice of maps and is easy to read..CekipsVersion: 6.3

✓ Cached maps are greenOnly gps i found that lets you cache google maps and other satellite images. Very happy.Bossman429Version: 6.3.1

✓ Great app!This was the first I used an app like this, it's very powerful, I like that you can download tracks from the Internet and integrate them into your downloaded map set. I would recommend this for anyone that likes to stay outdoors..ToySldrVersion: 5.6

✓ ExcelentI have been happily using the iPhone version of GPS Kit from some time now. The iPad version does not disapoint. The controls are implemented nicely and uses the iPad extra screen real-estate well..B-A-RVersion: 6.3
