MapOut for Positive User Reviews
✓ Utterly beautiful offline mapThe mapping in this app is *gorgeous*. I've tried a few map apps who use Open Street Map data, and most are rather crappy. This one blows them all away. It wasn't immediately obvious how to download the map data, but it works really well. The downloads are pretty small, but incredibly detailed. Wow. There's a "Tours" feature, but little explanation about what it does. I was happy without it for months, but now I use custom waypoints to help me plan trips. MapOut has been *invaluable* when going to new places - I mark hotels, places of interest and eating places I want to visit. And (drum-roll!) to prepare for my Great Eclipse Trip to the US in August, I imported a gpx file containing the path of eclipse totality. Can any other iOS map apps do that? Beautiful beautiful offline mapping. Thanks for the app, and the regular updates! ❤️.Version: 3.1.3
✓ The Best! Simple and Easy to Use!Best app ever! I mapped out rides and then exported them to another app. But (I’m a little slow) once I realized this app also mapped and followed me as I traveled I was ecstatic! Riding the dirt and gravel roads out in the middle of nowhere in Oregon, on my Honda Africa Twin, I always know where I am and where I should go. A must have and so easy to use. Worth it!.Version: 3.2.1
✓ Excellent for tracking and sharing routes!Yes, the OSM-based maps are clean and elegant. Offline-viewing of selected tiles is easy and nicely implemented. The tilting/perspective feature is slick. But to my mind the ability to easily record, manage, and share your route data is the killer feature here. You can easily email yourself the route data as GPX files (easily converted to geojson) and thus render it on your own custom maps. All in all, this is clean, simple, well-focused app, well worth 5 bones..Version: 2.3.2
✓ MapOut is awesomeWho need to buy a Garmin when mapout does so much? Heading to Italy for a five week tour and plan to use mapout on my iPhone. Downloading gpx files is so incredibly easy too. Routes are easy to organize into folders. I don’t see a reason to have any other map program..Version: 3.1.6
✓ The best OSM app for iOS.This app is amazing! I use it for driving, biking, and it’s amazing for Paraglading! Really great interface and updates are fast and well executed! Thanks for a wonderful app! Update... Start Date 73120. Still the best OSM app out there. Excellent updates and Ooo so very useful. Use for navigation on a bike, in a car, while paragliding, and even sometimes flying..Version: 3.4
✓ Great mapping appI am always looking for mapping apps for when I go cycle touring and hillwalking, this mapping app is great shows contours evening 3-D which is also very good, planning seems easy, i've not had it that long to check out all the features, so far it seems one of the best mapping apps out there! so check it out..Version: 3.1.1
✓ Simple and delivers!Amazing. No buzz! Very simple and delivers what it is designed to deliver! I never write reviews for apps but this is amazing. Interface is super simple, impressive how precisely man can hike. I also downloaded gps data for 50 tours around Munich. Where i can see detailed profiles. I definitely suggest for anyone looking for a good hiking/biking gps app..Version: 3.1.6
✓ Terrific Map CompanionI purchased MapOut before traveling in Italy and it worked beautifully. I was off cell service the entire trip and MapOut helped navigate cities and countryside easily. Amazing map detail and elegant design. The only future enhancement that would be a real plus is if you could drop a pin at the day's starting or end point as a reference for navigating thru the day. Thanks for a terrific mapping solution for off the grid travel adventures!.Version: 2.2.2
✓ Outstanding!Nothing else come close and I’ve tried them all..Version: 3.1.6
✓ Top stuffMust've downloaded this app 7 years ago by now?! I use it almost daily, I work in cycling and use it to check routes and points of interests. It's just really handy, simple, clear, updated... once the tile is downloaded you're good to go. Great stuff.Version: 3.4.11
✓ Best ever for creating cycling routesI have used many other map and nav apps for cycling routes and this one is the best. I can create new routes in a fraction of the time I have been able to do before. Easy and intuitive to modify as well..Version: 3.2
✓ AwesomeI think the strength of this app is how you create routes. It is truly easy. I have used this app to plan several multi day bike packing trips and MapOut is my favorite gps app without a doubt. It is also easy to use “in the field”. Last year my preplanned route was obstructed by a massive forest fire. It took me no time to reroute and redraw. I also dig how the detailed maps download, it is intuitive, quick to load, and it allows you to adjust the map boundaries as your adventure grows..Version: 3.1.5
✓ The best app for Swiss mapsI bought this app after arriving in Switzerland and needing some form of offline maps for the bike touring and hiking I had planned. 1.5 weeks into my adventures and I am so very thankful to have this app. It is fast, easy to use and the information it provides for elevation, distance and locations of bike routes is extremely valuable. It even allowed me to find some routes online an send them to the app for comparison and reference alongside the built in national route data. And it's all offline so I can use it everywhere! Also I reached out with questions and the developers were very friendly and helpful! Buy this app!.Version: 1.1.1
✓ Mapout starts where Google Maps & Co endMapout is my favourite planning tool for all sorts of outdoor activities. Works offline and don’t ask you for a user profile, just like the good old paper printed maps. The only limit is your battery power once you’ve downloaded the necessary map tiles. The maps are wonderfully rendered. And planning a new route by finger pointing or sliding is easier than ever. A very powerful tool with lots of functionality, highly recommended as a must have to all outdoor enthusiasts!.Version: 3.3.6
✓ Fantastic nav appUsed this for a few years now and I’ve got to say one of the best walking apps I’ve ever had. So much so I recommended to friends and family. The offline maps and gpx file import/sharing coupled with a very quick / accurate GPS lock (that doesn’t chew threw battery life) is why I love this app. Whether I’ve been in the middle of the Cairngorm’s, Skye, Glencoe or even on a Sunday stroll with the family (looking for an interesting walk) this app has helped me. Well worth the money. Love it 👍👍.Version: 3.4.1
✓ Great app for cyclingGreat app that I downloaded because a pro cyclist team director (a big team btw) was using it in the car. It'd be amazing if we could add markers for climb categories, sprints, feed zones... (basically icons from the Tour de France stage profiles). And also track how far those markers and finish are from the current position. Map quality is outstanding..Version: 3.1.1
✓ Does it all, the bestThis app draws, guides you along, an records routes, all with offline maps. I’ve tried many and this is definitely the best..Version: 3.3.6
✓ Great appOne of best apps. Use it all the time.Version: 3.2.4
✓ Téléchargement de carte : OKViens d'acheter l'application et de télécharger la carte de Montreal : ça marche. Viens d'importer un itinéraire : OK. Manque de fonctionnalité de recherche mais j'ai acheté l'application pour avoir d'abord la carte hors ligne. 5 étoiles d'encouragement!!!!.Version: 2.0.1
✓ Nice simpleThis app works really well. Thanks for keeping it updated..Version: 3.3.1
✓ Great app please add map on Apple WatchDesperately needs better Apple Watch integration like view ranger has.Version: 3.4.6
✓ Just great. So good. We are addictedThis is a fantastic app. We use it all the time. The drawing of tracks is so good. The share function is first rate especially the ability to share tours directly to other mapout users. At least 8 of our bushwalking group now use mapout. It's a shame that mapout isn't available on other platforms as it would surely become the default navigation tool. Beyond that the only enhancement I would suggest is to enable a user to set different colours for individual tracks. This would. Be particularly beneficial when a user has a number of tracks that cross over each other..Version: 3.1.6
✓ Great. Used for cycling and hikingGreat maps Easy to use Create or find routes. Sharing.....Version: 3.1.5
✓ This app is essentialLast week while off-roading in Death Valley, because we had google maps (and not Map out) we took a wrong turn and got stuck for 3 days. If we had this app we would have spent those 3 days at a cabin. Don’t go anywhere without this app anymore.Version: 3.3.6
✓ Impressive!So far I’m really impressed by this app - it’s really easy to use, offers a strong suite of functions, and is visually gorgeous. That said, I would encourage the developers to keep adding POIs, especially those relevant to outdoor activities! A campsite overlay, for example, would be so helpful for off-grid adventures. Thanks!.Version: 3.3.6
✓ FantasticI recommend this to all hikers, bikepackers, packrafters, and kayakers. It has a great way of organizing and visualising all your tracks and waymarks, as well as hiding or seeing them based on what “tour” you assigned them to. The visualisation and ease of use is great, especially the way mark symbols and colours. Fantastic. Note to developers: please add a “bridge” Waymark icon - particularly good for planning kayaking and packrafting trips.Version: 3.4.10
✓ Best hiking map app, worth the moneyTop app that (clearly) shows actual hiking paths which other apps miss or only show when zoomed in with crazy detail. Used this many times for finding cool routes on the go and helping navigation. Makes hiking/exploring fun..Version: 3.1.6
✓ Made in Germany...As usual with German apps, this is well written, and time has been spent getting everything working ok. That’s why I took the chance, and bought this app. I can never understand why UK apps are so slapdash and buggy. US apps are much the same. Laziness, I’m sure. No laziness with this app. 4 stars for that. I do have some problems though. My eyesight is not so great, and white roads with a grey border, stuck onto a grey/beige background... It’s so difficult to see much detail. Any chance that a few options could be added for that? Maybe some choice of colour schemes. Also, when I tap on a POI, there’s no info given. A pop up box would be welcome. Some poi’s are obvious, and don’t need much info, maybe just coordinates and an address. But there are poi’s that are obscure and could benefit from a description. Is it a bus stop, or a taxi rank, or a bus station... ? Most other map apps have this feature, so it must be reasonably easy to add. Other than that, this app is well worth the money. A greater choice of user settings would be nice, but good privacy, and regular updates are always a welcome feature. Thank you..Version: 3.4.8
✓ Great appHi guys great I love the new draw tour feature. The only 2 improvements I could suggest is have the dashboard display in landscape mode and an arrow point instead of a dot. Other than that top work. I recommend this app to all my friends who ride dirt bikes in the bush..Version: 3.0.3
✓ Almost perfectI do a lot of driving on backroads, and this is the best app I’ve used for downloading offline maps, and recording tracks. Simple and clean user experience. Would be perfect (5 stars) if it had CarPlay support..Version: 3.4.12
✓ PerfectI was looking for an app that was similar to Google Offline maps but with smaller tiles and more functionality. This app does the trick. It also allows GPX uploads and sharing. It is possible to create routes right in the app. Powerful app and I use it often for all my cycling and hiking adventures. The documentation is stellar too..Version: 3.4.4
✓ Thank youI use this app every time I do outdoor activities and I’m delighted with it. Never ever had any technical problem. The offline mode is fantastic. I would love to have it on my Apple Watch one day. So I can keep my phone in my pocket when I walk. Is it in the works?.Version: 3.4.9
✓ Worked great on 5 week Ireland-France bike tourUsed the app extensively for self guided bicycle tour. It worked great. Made route planning very easy as well as following and adjusting the routes..Version: 3.1.5
✓ MapOutHave used for a number of cycling trips. Far and away the best app I have tried for flexibility and planning detours or alternative routes, including a relief map as you plan, especially when without signal..Version: 3.4.3
✓ Great offline mapI took a $5 chance on this app … what a payoff! I plan city walking tours for all of my travels. MapOut makes it easy to import those tours as gpx files. Offline maps work very well. It comes with maps of the entire world fir the “first several” zoom levels. As you zoom in more, you need to tell the app to download more maps tiles. I was afraid this would be cumbersome, especially if you wanted very detailed street level maps. But it’s very easy! I tend to stay zoomed out to the city level and then select the tile that encompasses the city … that will download all the zoomed in tiles for the city as well. I love how waypoints are clearly titled on the map. The elevation data is a nice touch … MapOut adds it if your gpx file did not contain it. Being able to draw a new route from within the app is also nice. I could go on, but you get the idea … I’m very happy with this purchase. I like it a lot better than the free maps.me app I was using for the same purpose. MapOut is much better suited for route planning and following. I don’t really have any gripes. But, I wonder why the app won’t import kml files … it will export to kml, just not import. Fortunately converting my existing kml files online is pretty easy..Version: 3.4.8
✓ Fantastic app for offline maps!I have used this on many trips and find it invaluable in new areas. The maps download super fast and the detail and trails are accurate and surprisingly comprehensive. Really nice app..Version: 3.2.4
✓ Best AppMap out is the most useful app I have. The ability to see maps and your current location offline is invaluable. I recently had a foot a flat tire in the middle of Oregon wilderness and used it to see my location and tell AAA where my car was. Without this I wouldn’t have been able to get help and could have been stranded. I could not be more thankful for this app..Version: 3.3.6
✓ Good map appsThis app is a very nice add-on if you are one of those who enjoy working with digital mapping. The apps does not provide lat/long or other type of coordinates (yet but could be added to a future version?). Overall, it gives quick info based on openstreetmaps..Version: 2.2.2
✓ Perfect and best App!I use now MapOut for years and just love it! It does everything one needs and want and it easy to learn and use as it is so uncomplicated and accessible! I recommend it to anybody who has an IPhone! All my friends use it now as well..Version: 3.4.11
✓ Top notch mapping app with offline topographic dataI've used very many mapping apps over the years. My primary use is for cycle touring, where both offline use and topographical data are paramount. This app ticks those boxes better than anything else I have used. It's fast, smooth and intuitive. Importing and drawing your own routes and getting elevation profiles for specific sections of a route is easy. After using so many apps, I'm hard to impress but this app has really impressed me. It doesn't have as many points of interest as the OpenStreet map data used in Maps.me (which lack topographical contours) but the benefit is that the offline downloads are small and fast, and you can easily download maps spanning hundreds of kilometres, something you can't do with Google maps. For planning and navigating bicycle tours in remote and mountainous areas, this is the best mapping app I have ever used..Version: 3.1.4
✓ Awesome AppWorks really well and nice and simple..Version: 2.3.2
✓ Beautiful maps for navigating the great outdoorsI love MapOut. That’s it..Version: 3.4.11
✓ Absolutely brilliant and super powerful!I love this app and consider it an essential app if you do anything outdoorsy! The deceptively simple design is actually just an elegant and clever wrapper for a huge stack of powerful features. I really put this app through its paces during an 8 week 4500km bike ride around New Zealand, and found these features in particular make it stand out above any others: - Unlimited download of map data anywhere in the world including extra info like POIs, bike routes, services, etc. Also that you can update all map data in just three taps - Being able to draw routes with your finger right on the phone! I used this daily to plan my routes. Real time elevation profile graphs and having it calculate climb and descent rather than just total elevation change are critical when deciding on routes. Having it snap automatically to not only roads but also tracks feels a bit like performing magic! - Automatically orienting map to compass or route, and retaining its zoom levels - Price! Can’t believe how cheap this app is for the utility it provides. No subscription pricing unlike everything else I’ve found that comes even close doing what this app does.Version: 3.3.6
✓ Great for planning tours...Used this app in Iceland. Invaluable, allowed us to confidently follow cross country un-made "F Roads" and find some places we would never have seen otherwise. Would be great if it also had the ability to group / merge tracks and waypoints too..Version: 3.1.4
✓ Best offline hiking appI have been using this app for about a month now and I love it. The maps that are used are more accurate then AllTrails in my experience. I had 2 trails that ended early on all my other hiking apps by 0.5 miles except for mapout. I use many of the included features available. They also have a pdf showing all the features of the app which is Awesome. Strongly recommend this app!.Version: 3.4
✓ Excellent maps appNicely presented, good feature set, and not overly cluttered. Sticks to the essentials for a Topo Maps app, with ease of use plus very nice route making capabilities. I’ve looked long and hard at many Topo apps, and they all fall short in important ways (with the exception of Pocket Earth). So glad I finally found MapOut and it’s free downloadable maps..Version: 3.1.5
✓ Works perfectlyUsed this for years. Great app for cycling/walking..Version: 3.4.8
✓ Minimalist and works great!Really happy with this app! Have just come back from hiking in the Australian Alps and needed an app which had offline capability and could import GPX files and used this the entire time and it made things very easy! The Good: - Minimalist design - Uses very little battery (I have a useless iPhone 8 battery and on airplane mode it would only use ~10% over the course of the day. - Loved the ease of the point to point distance tracker The Bad: - The 3D tilt perspective seems a bit redundant and looks warped and weird especially with the hill shading - The GPX import feature is a touch awkward, if possible an ‘import’ button which lets you browse your phone for files, rather than navigating to the file first and opening it in Map Out may be easier - As others have said I would love support for additional/ custom map tiles, the OSM tiles are good but often need to be very zoomed in to access relevant data - I would love it if the notes against the waypoints I set would appear in the box when I select them On the whole this app works very well at what it is designed to be: easy to use, minimalist design, functional and without all the bells and whistle and I would much rather pay upfront than suffer through in-app purchases and expensive monthly subscription fees..Version: 3.4.9
✓ Brilliant AppMy go-to app for bikepacking/touring and route planning. Look forward to seeing other products from developers.Version: 3.1.5
✓ Great appI love that it quietly records stuff without needing the display. I was out for 2 hours using it on my iPOD touch with the Bad Elf GPS for lightning, and it just sipped power. Two things I could wish for: average speed on a saved trip, and the ability to mark, save, and tag a single waypoint..Version: 2.4.3
✓ ExcellentI use this for hiking and dirt biking. It’s fantastic for those activities. Planning out routes, checking elevation guides, digital bread crumbing the trip. They all work flawlessly and I’ve told a bunch of mates to get this app over everything else..Version: 3.4.2
✓ Best maps to use when out & aboutQuality of the maps & the fact that it downloads all the data to your phone makes this the best route tracking app I’ve found. Works easily, quickly, and reliably..Version: 3.1.6
✓ Best sat nav everI have tried many map apps for my cycling but this one is head and shoulders above the rest. Thank you for it..Version: 3.4.4
✓ Beautiful!Gorgeous graphics and fantastic user interface. Buy this if you live or spend time in Switzerland!.Version: 1.0
✓ Great app - perfect for hiking and cyclingDownloading offline, GPS navigation, elevation, drawing routes, importing GPX, saving waypoints — it all just works the way you expect. Flawless execution. I use this map all the time, for planning and during expeditions. I have recommended to many friends, five stars.Version: 3.4.6
✓ Could this be the best everBeen using ride with GPS for 4 years , but so far this blows that away, and I haven’t seemed to scratch the surface of it’s intuitive interface. Thankyou.Version: 3.4.10
✓ Extraordinary!Amazing App. Highly recommended..Version: 3.3.4
✓ Simple, stellar, and cheapI've been using MapOut for about a year and now consider it an essential app. It has all the features you need for planning routes before a trip or way-finding once you are there. I've used it to stay on snow-covered hiking trails in Colorado and to navigate the ancient footpaths along Italy's Amalfi Coast (and to just record walks in local parks). And you can't beat the price! One-time fee versus annual subscriptions other apps change. Try this app and you won't be sorry - it will be your new constant companion!.Version: 3.1.5
✓ Needs better organisationI'd like to be able to bulk move tours to a folder, please. Otherwise, this is the very best hiking app there is. Amazing, yet simple..Version: 3.1.6
✓ Intuitive, pretty and powerful appI love that it takes one minute to draw a route and get the stats. I also love how easy it is to email a route directly into someone else’s map (ideal for friends). Best value purchase I think I’ve ever made, I’ve gotten hundreds of hours of use out of it. I mark adventures that are done in green, to-do in red, and at a glance I can see how much of the landscape I’ve explored..Version: 3.4.9
✓ Via FrancigenaThis App is fantastic value for money. I originally purchased as a supplement to the Via Francigena App and it’s been invaluable. The ability to quickly set A to B tracks and rapidly see distances covered or to go to final destination is so easy. Also easy to rapidly ‘reverse’ and A to B route, with latitudes also clearly marked, plus you can ‘snap’ your route to any well know route (eg Via Francigena). I’ve also tried it in UK and it works really well. Showing all alternative routes available along every pathway there is. It’s the bees’ knees..Version: 3.4.10
✓ Impressive follow-up!I had a number of problems with this at first, so I contacted the company. They bent over backwards to help and explain, and after several exchanges, things worked out nicely. These folks are highly professional and service oriented, so I am happy to herein modify my original review. Thank you Michael and Stefan!.Version: 3.1
✓ My go to routing app.Got a few navigation apps but nearly always end up here for planning walks and cycles. The use of finger on screen is just so simple, how it should be!.Version: 3.4.11
✓ Excellent alternative for ViewRanger if route planningThis app is incredibly slick at route planning. With ViewRanger on the way out and replaced by a plethora of average and clunky alternatives, the only thing missing from this app is OS mapping. Exports to Garmin for your devices, and imports e.g. Munro lists as well as other routes (even by email). Most of all, it just works. Even ViewRanger was fricking buggy!.Version: 3.4.8
✓ Best Offline Map App!Fast and beautiful!.Version: 1.0
✓ Great mapping & navigation appSuperb app, and fantastic value with just a one off payment. I’ve used this for a few years now. It has great features to import and export routes in gpx format and for creating new routes on your phone directly in the app. The maps are free to download based on open street map with the added benefit of contours and shading. You can choose map tiles of just the areas you want so saving phone memory. Once you are out and about, assuming you have the maps you need already downloaded, then all you need is a gps signal and no mobile internet data is required. I’m an experienced outdoor enthusiast and I can strongly recommend this app to anyone..Version: 3.4.10
✓ Just what I'd been looking forFinally a map app for iOS that works like it should do. You can import gpx and klm files via the dedicated email and swap these between other users in seconds. Definitely recommended so don't be put off by the cost. Worth every penny and this is the most I've ever paid for an app..Version: 3.1.3
✓ Possibly the bestThis is my go-to map app these days for navigating my way along imported GPX routes. Superb..Version: 3.4.11
✓ Best app on my phoneI have been using MapOut for years to track hikes and paddle trips. It helps me find alternate routes, track mileage, and keep track of where I’ve already been when exploring an area repeatedly. I love being able to use it offline without eating network or battery. The only tiny complaint is that if you’re somewhere very steep, like the Alps, it has a hard time holding a steady GPS perspective and then draws a zigzag, increasing your recorded mileage. But this is a tiny thing relative to overall great value without a subscription..Version: 3.4.11
✓ Probably the best out thereThis app is so good. One of the few that are intuitive, slick, stable and has all the features one would wish. Got tired of heavy, bloated and expensive app (starts with komoo_) and glad I stumble on this. Thanks a bunch..Version: 3.4.9
✓ Ultra marathoners best friendWonderful as I will no longer get lost on my 100 mile runs!.Version: 3.1.5
✓ Absolutely love MapOutThough my iPad plus protective case weighs a couple or pounds, MapOut is always in my backpack. The ability to zoom in down to a foot accuracy (it seems) makes it easy to avoid going down a wrong path. Accurate distance and elevation data during a hike is also great to have. I color code all my hikes by year to see when and where I did a hike on the map..Version: 3.4.8
✓ A real Google alternativeI'm not fan of google and I've been looking for a beautiful, fast, offline map of the world for bicycle touring. I think this is it. Plotting a course or tour is easy and accurate, something I've not seen work so well before. Tech support is good and fast, always the hallmark of an app worthy of a place in my daily life. This app is going places, I'm excited by it. Well done, J'aime beaucoup!.Version: 3.0.3
✓ Pretty goodThis app seems to hit a load of points that are important to me - distance, elevation. It has a pretty cool 3d option to look at the terrain. It is relatively easy to use and I found it downloads the Maps I need relatively fast and big enough area that it is easy to nab the maps before going off the network. I am still slightly stumped when the app will be able to select a trail- it doesn’t seem to work unless one is currently on the trail, but that sometimes does seem to work either 🤷♂️ A few things I would like: Be able to enter some coordinates and go to that spot. And One thing that seems to be missing on all map apps- hiking - is a searchable database of places. This app is no different as far as I can tell. Like recently I wanted to get in the area of cutthroat pass and look at the hike- I know exactly where it is or I have to use some other app to find it and then come back to this app..Version: 3.4.10
✓ Outstanding appThis app is outstanding. The best map app I have…. Nothing else comes close..Version: 3.4.11
✓ Amazing valueI got tired of paying 30-40 dollars a year for the big name trail apps just for the ability to download offline maps. MapOut is an awesome alternative to that, giving you basic topographic maps of anywhere with only the useful info. I used it to map a backpacking circuit in Glacier National Park and it’s worked awesome so far. I can’t speak for the record features because I only use it for mapping, but the tour planning features are useful and easy to use. Easy five stars..Version: 3.4.11
✓ Superb appThis is quite simply brilliant. I have used it navigating several long distance cycle tours - small phone mounted on stem cap using a topeak ridemount and when used in airplane mode it lasts for a long time and makes navigation so easy. The quality of the maps, route planning and general functionality is very impressive. Comes highly recommended for cycling or hiking..Version: 3.1.6
✓ Awesome update sort ofI was always impressed with the app's ability to draw routes by hand and snap to the road network. The recent update introduces a number of improvements and features I felt were either once lacking or are totally unique. This is my new favorite app alongside Maps.me. Update: After using the app with the new update I find one thing annoying...the stylized "arrow" is difficult to see. I would prefer a triangle shape just like in the app icon. If something is wrong with this opinion at least give the users a choice of the standard triangular arrow or the fancy kind. Lastly, the arrow almost always points in the wrong direction, especially when in motion such as riding in a car. I'm sure this is just a bug that can be fixed..Version: 3.1.1
✓ Absolute hidden gem.It blows my mind how this app isn’t more widely used for backpacking. Initial investment garners so much value - rightly beautiful maps, easy to navigate UI, great features. and most of all elevation profiles in real time (something others lack beyond dedicated trail apps). I thought it would be easier just to upload a .gpx file from a desktop 3rd party client but using this app’s native toolset was so much easier. Cannot recommend enough - I hope the developers keep this app up to date as it will be my #1 used app for my trips. 🥳.Version: 3.3.2
✓ Trekking and Trail RunningI’ve been using this app for some time now, and was pushing for the inclusion of waypoints, which is now included. This is a beautiful and elegant app that works brilliantly. The best app for forging new trails, exploring and staying safe. Brilliant..Version: 3.1.5
✓ Superb for planning a cycle tourExcellent tool for planning your route whilst cycle touring with extremely useful elevation profiles. Fast and intuitive interface with ability to draw and edit your route by dragging your finger across your preferred roads..Version: 3.1.6
✓ Beautiful cartographyThis app has some of the most beautiful OpenStreetMap-based cartography I have ever seen. It is really fast and the offline downloads are small thanks to the vector maps. There are a couple of small downsides. First, the application only displays a small selection of OpenStreetMap data, so for finding bicycle parking I will continue to use another app to access OpenCycleMap. Second, the app shows only a few points of interest on screen at the same time, and the selection changes more or less randomly as you move. It can make it quite difficult to spot some points of interest!.Version: 3.0.3
✓ Money well spentI purchased this app mainly for its feature of allowing me to draw routes (called tours). I find this indispensable when hiking in the wilderness. Before I depart, I will plan the route by drawing different tours. The app very helpfully places mile markers on my route and includes inclination information to help me decide. When I'm out in the wilderness without cell reception, I won't get lost at an unsigned junction because I can simply open the app and check my current location overlaid with the drawn tour. I used to just guess where I am on a map and have deviated from my planned route for a few times. That doesn't happen any more with this app! To be sure, there are unnecessary gimmicks like the 3D tilt, but I understand those features might be unnecessary for me but necessary for others, and they don't get in the way. Overall, I consider the $5 I spent very worthwhile..Version: 3.4.7
✓ Fantastic AppBeen using MapOut for 3 years and it has been great for tracking your routes. I also like the fact you can draw a route and it gives you the distance and profile of the route. By holding two fingers on screen brings up a ruler with the terrain profile between two points. The ability to share the recorded track with other devices is so simple and convenient. You can change the colour of the tracking line and edit/add details..Version: 3.3.5
✓ Amazing for hiking!I absolutely love this App. I have been using it for hiking in southwest France, imported GPX files as well as drawing my own trails. Functionality and ease of use are incredible and friends immediately downloaded when they saw it on my iPhone. I’m now in Portugal and will be using MapOut to explore this wonderful country. Congratulations and thanks to the developers for this amazing App..Version: 3.4.8
✓ Laurie WhiddonA fantastic use of the Open Street Map vector data. The maps are visually stunning and are very easy to use and download. Well done!.Version: 2.0.1
✓ Good for finding trailsPretty darn good. Some minor trail versus location offset at times but still good..Version: 3.1.5
✓ Great hiking appI have been using MapOut as a gps app for hiking/bushwalking. Maps are detailed enough for what I need and the interface is very clean and easy to use. 3D tilt is great. Works well in flight mode to conserve battery power. I can't really fault it especially with the new update. Love it! Highly recommended..Version: 3.0.3
✓ Best Mapping AppV3.1.5 very useful additional features added in particular distance in miles and altitude in meters. This is the best iPhone mapping app. Certainly the best and clearest map rendering/display I've seen (and I've tried quite a few). Not cluttered with all the social media links and associated rubbish. Basic very clear mapping, track recording, etc. - what a mapping app should do (and it does it very well). Clearest free OSM mapping offline vector (full detail zoom yet low space requirements with very fast display) with free altitude & contours, clear track recording, route display, many ways to transfer tracks/routes to/from device, useful additional layers for outdoor activities (e.g. cycle routes), etc, etc.Version: 3.1.5
✓ Very good!!Excellent for easily and quickly creating tracks with waypoints.Version: 3.1.6
✓ Best looking map running hiking bikingVery clear map at any zoom and easy interface. Uses openstreetmap which is usually your best hope to get off road trails.Version: 3.1.4
✓ Great BUT needs an overview functionGreat app. Works as promised, looks good, intuitive to use, route function is awesome: BUT Like most other gps apps misses a function to show roads/tracks even when zoomed out. Minor roads/tracks only become visible when zoomed all the way in. Makes it really hard to plot routes/ get an overview. Especially in remote areas like outback OZ. Would love if the developers could add a function that lets you adjust the „track resolution“.Version: 3.4.8
✓ Good app with vector mapsPros: Awesome smooth vector maps with OpenStreetMap data! Cons: there are POIs displayed from OSM, but from a very few categories. Data is not loaded from OpensStreetMap servers but updated regularly.Version: 2.1
✓ MapOut is a good complement to Swiss Map MobileThe Swiss are world-leading cartographers and cartophiles. Their maps are excellent, and they love them. The best Swiss topo map is called swisstopo. It is produced by the Swiss government's Bundesamt fuer Landestopografie. It shows every building in the whole country. A few years ago Mr. Garzotto brought out an iPhone app "Swiss Map Mobile", based on swisstopo map tiles. It's great, but it can be expensive depending on how you use it, and it doesn't store all of its map data in the iPhone, so you can find yourself far from civilization with no Internet connection and no map. The maps for MapOut appear to be derived from the open-source OpenStreetMaps project. While OpenStreetMaps for Switzerland are of very good quality, they are not quite up to the standard of swisstopo. The strength of MapOut is that the application includes *all* of its map data for Switzerland, some 500MB. While you're navigating, an Internet connection is unnecessary. On the other hand, your iPhone needs more than 500MB of free memory to load the app. MapOut is new, and still lacks functionality as compared, for example, with Swiss Map Mobile or MotionX GPS. But even v1.0 of MapOut is a valuable complement to my other nav apps, and I look forward to more functionality in future versions..Version: 1.0
✓ Best app for planning+ridingI've used a lot of mapping apps over the years and this is the best. Close to perfection for all the features I really need to plan and ride while on tour; OpenStreetMap, offline, waypoint import, elevation profiles, draw your own route and a great map view that follows your position while riding. Keep up the great work guys!.Version: 3.0.3
✓ Really great offline featuresI purchased this because nothing else really worked well for areas where there is spotty cell reception. I do a lot of backcountry trail runs and typically use something like Strava or Google Maps in offline mode for general geolocation. Strava doesn’t work without a cell signal, and frequently tries to close the app that I’ve had open, at which point the route is gone is cell signal is unavailable. Google Maps offline is just not really very good at all, not detailed enough, though it does show your spot on a map. MapOut is 100% offline downloadable with detailed trails and extra abilities like creating routes beforehand. It is extreme reliable and is really a panacea for mapping with little cell signal. The maps are so detailed, sometimes I pull it up inside the city to find new trails or routes. It reminds me of those dedicated Garmin Explorer GPS devices. MapOut is very cool, and very worth the money..Version: 3.4.9
✓ Weight saving!We travelled in France, Hong Kong and UK. This app saved us buying road maps and was amazingly helpful. Downloaded onto my iPad the maps we needed. The detail helped us find supermarkets and tiny walking trails. We are fans..Version: 3.1.5
✓ Best mapping app aroundThe ability to easily plan routes while out, pre-download map data for offline use and easily locate yourself on the map outside reception areas is unmatched. This app is great. I use it for bikepacking..Version: 3.4.9
✓ Great for trail runnersWow, very impressed. One of the great features of this app for hikers and trail runners is the ability to trace routes that don’t exist on the map. Beautiful map shading another great feature..Version: 3.1.5
✓ I've been looking for such a a good mapping app for a long timeThe app is deceptively simple yet it has a lot of powerful features. I was initially just looking for an app that uses OpenStreetMap with offline downloads and they can take my own GPX files. It has all those features and a lot more. Creating new routes and editing existing ones is extremely simple. Very much recommended, great app..Version: 3.1.4
✓ Bike specificMost practical part is that once maps have been downloaded there is no need to have cell coverage or usage of data to use this most intuitive app MapOut is 5 out of 5!.Version: 3.2.2
✓ The best mapping and planning appI use this all the time on my biking tours. Works great offline..Version: 3.4.11
✓ Great, but...I absolutely love this app, but they need some bug fix updates quickly. It crashes far too often. I like the app enough to deal with these annoying interruptions for now, but I hope the fixes will be forthcoming..Version: 3.0.3
✓ Cool cartographyBeautiful, clear, uncluttered & fast map rendering using cached maps for offline use. Hands down the best & simplest OSM app I've used for cycle touring navigation..Version: 2.3.1
✓ Just what I was looking forOne of my favourite and most used apps is similar to this, with the ability to easily plan routes prior to setting out just by 'drawing' on my iPad screen..however, that seems to have been abandoned by its developer so I'm really pleased I've found MapOut. A deceptively powerful app with great maps and a good looking interface - even the user manual looks pretty gorgeous! Great work by the developers and worth every penny..Version: 3.1.5
✓ Blown away!I have been using all sorts of methods to track and plan routes offline when I take long bike tours. This app rocks - I create gpx routes with waypoints before my trip (I do that on my PC), then import them here and download the maps that surround the routes. On my iPad, I can then plan the next day's ride even without Internet access. Ten stars!.Version: 3.1.1
✓ Efficient offline hiking mapsBest map app I have seen for hikers and bikers: topological maps allowing quick profiles, accurate trail and road data, efficient memory use for maps and tracks..Version: 3.0.3
✓ Beautiful mapsEasily my favourite map display app. Would have rated it 5* but it’s a bit miserly on the OpenStreetMap attribution, which isn’t respectful to the thousands of volunteers who give their spare time to make the map data on which the app relies..Version: 3.2.2
✓ Great appLove using this app. I'm quite new to it but is now my map of choice for using the gpx files I create elsewhere. Top class. I use for cycling. I can't see how to change map. But the map I see is perfect anyway for my needs. Loving the detailed elevation too. I have to use now and again when I struggle to see correct route on my garmin edge 1000. This works great.Version: 3.1.1
✓ Good touring app.I use this app for 4x4 travel in australia and find it very good, one feature i would request is apple car play support in ios 12. Other than that a very well mad app and looks great, even though it does not get updated often. Keep up the good work..Version: 3.1.5
✓ Very practical and beautiful appThis is the best app for fast and easy route planning- just drag your finger and job done. Maps are beautiful and very detailed..Version: 3.4.6
✓ Good app for getting a quick sense of the landscapeNice looking hill shading, with decent graphics for quick identification of mountains, tracks and general geography. The hill shading is a bit too strong, so sometimes you zoom in to a feature only to find out it’s actually a pretty flat landscape (Australian here). It would also be cool to see some expanded features in the future; Contours and cliff edges only appear at an extremely zoomed in view, it’d be useful to see those features at more zoomed out levels. On that note, a colour-based height overlay would be helpful, so we can quickly and easily see elevation without too much effort..Version: 3.4.11
✓ Best outdoor map app in the AppStoreAnd constantly being improved upon.Version: 3.2
✓ Un excellent GPSJe l’utilise depuis plus de deux ans. Il a remplacer toute mes autres apps de navigation. Je fais mes trajet dans Google MyMaps et me les envois en KML. Pas d’utilisation de données ne télécharge que les maps nécessaire. Je recommande..Version: 3.4.10
✓ Great MTB mapping toolHave used this app for a number of multi day mountain biking and hiking tours. I have purchased a waterproof case for the phone and use a portable battery to maintain the power over many days. Navigation is simple and easy and gives you confidence when you are in the middle of nowhere (south west -Western Australia). Previously used a Garman GPS unit, which was complex and hard to load routes and maps to. It sits at home now and I use this cheap and fantastic app. Well done guys!.Version: 3.2
