IHikeGPS NZ : LINZ Topo Maps for Positive User Reviews
✓ What More could you possibly wantExcellent official 1:50,000 topographical maps, overlaid on your GPS, all on an iOS device thats working offline in flight Mode What more could you possible want in a GPS? The Map stitching is seamless and this App is pretty much a must have for any Hunter in NZ Highly recommended..Version: 9.4.3
✓ Better than other reviewers make outYou can link to Other map, its a gesture, and yiu need to have that map sheet or have signal. I've use the app on the southern crossing and Te Urewera where It was very useful. It's no google maps or tomtom as it uses stored nzms50 maps, better than apple maps for ground truthing. I had to spend an evening playing with the functionality to test it out, but its there, and robust too. GUI could be better but it works as described by vendor in real world situations..Version: 3.5
✓ This app saved my life!Ignore the previous negative review. This app was downloaded, while lost in the Kaimai Ranges. GPS quickly located position, app quickly ( ish ) downloaded the relevant NZ topo map. From there easily identified position on the map. Outcome, life saved. And my mates who by this stage was getting all girly about it all. Best app ever!!!.Version: 4.0
✓ Jam packed with features.I have been using mapping programmes for many years using all sorts of equipment. It has all been replaced with an iPad mini and the iHike programmes. The NZ version also covers Australia so it is great for hiking in my own state as well. I really find that I can do anything with this, it is all in the help screen. And the tracking is seamless. So far I have done the Kepler and the Queen Charlotte tracks in New Zealand and Half Dome in CA and the Lost Creek Wilderness in CO in the US and most of the Bibbulmun in Western Australia. I thoroughly recommend this app for the antipodes. Now we just need Europe, hint hint..Version: 8.2.5
✓ Happy camperThis app is awesome. A must have for anyone going into the backcountry..Version: 4.5
✓ Great app despite some reviewsQuickly tells you where you are on topo map when in the back country - which is what it claims to do! Easy to load maps. Tool a few minutes to get the hang of. Needs feature allowing you to open map directly from map list. Also minor bug in automatic map selection seems to drop out of this mode. Be aware cell phone has limited battery so if you want to record your travels you'll only get 10 hrs or so..Version: 3.5
✓ IHIKEGPS-NZGreat app, very useful for big mountain adventures..Version: 8.2.3
✓ Awesome appGreat app, able to quickly find location in the bush. Nice topo maps and quick grid reference and elevation info. Well worth the money..Version: 4.0
✓ Ok so 4.5 if it would let me.It works and it works well assuming you know how to use a map and a gps which in my experience most folk don't - just saying. As good as my etrex20 with nztopo installed. If you are looking for predefined routes etc. this is not the app for you. Chews battery - but that's a smartphone issue not the app. Found a bug and got a reasonable response and a fix in the next version so what more can one ask for?.Version: 6.1
✓ Whole of NZ Topo when out in the sticksThis is a great app and used it extensively while riding the Tour Aotearoa. Link the GPX file tracks and you are off. Does use more power when using GPS as opposed to cellular position but the maps sit local on the device so when you are out of coverage you can still see your position on the map. You can download maps you require or whole NZ North island and South Island and Australia All of these sets of maps are from the free Lins sites so are true 50k or 250k maps. Full NZ maps is about 5Gb so check your phones memory. Tracking and elevation work well and can be exported. Get out there!!.Version: 8.3.1
✓ Kiwi Review By BTThe iHikeGPS NZ is great, a mate of mine just showed it to me a few weeks ago and I downloaded it right away! It works with the New Zealand Topo Maps which I really like, the maps are downloaded within the app for whichever area you require at no charge (just remember to have them downloaded before you go I learnt the hard way) the maps will need to be downloaded when you have cell coverage. The GPS uses satellites so works even when there is no phone coverage. Another great feature I like is that I can edit the way points, I have even checked out a good river fishing spot on Google Earth and just edited a way point to match it and saved it and away you go, for this you just need to change the position format in the settings to match the one you require easily done and this would be good if you were reading the paper Map to check you location using the Grid on the topo maps. I wish I had this years ago! would recommend a battery pack if you are going out a a long Tramp/Hike or a Solar charger. Totally recommend this app! Brendon.Version: 5.0.3
✓ Amazing AppWell this is a truly amazing App. I've been returning to NZ and tramping for several years now and the planning and execution of trips has never been easier. From home I can plan routes, campsites, zoom in or out and know everything I need to know, but then when I'm there it's an amazing thing to see a dot where I'm standing right there on my Topographical map confirming my location. Great Tool, Great Back up!.Version: 4.3
✓ EssentialI bought this app a couple of years ago as a temporary solution while deciding which model Garmin I should upgrade my old eTrex to. Well, I never bought that new Garmin, the eTrex is in a box somewhere and this app is all I use on every walk, hike or camp. Full marks to the developer for an essential tool I wouldn’t be without..Version: 9.3.1
✓ Excellent appVery good value GPS topo map app. GPS shows location on detailed topo50 NZ maps. Ideal for tramping in remote locations..Version: 4.0
✓ Fantastic app!Just to say the iHikeGPS-NZ app has become an essential part of my tramping experience. It’s accurate, timely and a pleasure to use. Especially good when you sometimes lose the track and need to ensure you’re not drifting even further away!.Version: 9.3.1
✓ Excellent app!This is my go to app for tramping adventures. Works with no cell coverage and is very accurate. Not a big drain on the battery. There have been several instances where knowing where I was was very important for safety, even just being off the track a little bit can be rectified thanks to this amazing app!.Version: 9.3.1
✓ Fantastic appIv found this to be my favourite topo maps app for all my trips. Iv used it in thick off track bush to on the mountains and even sea kayaking. Very accurate and a great backup to a laminated paper map. My one wish is that they would make this available on the Apple Watches..Version: 9.4.0
✓ 4 starsI do love this app however, It would be awesome to be able to “trace” a route rather than have to string waypoints together or import a gpx file from another app. In my opinion that would make this the best gps hiking app..Version: 8.3.3
✓ ExcellentBought a couple of weeks ago on recommendation of hard core tramper and already it has rescued me when disorientated in the depths of the bush without internet reception. Intuitive to use, great value..Version: 8.1.7
✓ Excellent GPS mapperI tested iHike GPS NZ over 12 days of hiking and it’s now part of my essential kit. Just pick one of the Record Track options and hit the trail - your location and track travelled is clearly displayed on the free Topo 50 maps. It’s easy to add waypoints - just one press for your current location or choose a point from the map. I created routes in advance from waypoints, but you can also import a GPX file. Displays ETA at next waypoint which is nice, but would be great to have route ETA as well. Switching between topo 50 and 250 map series is a bit clunky, although you don’t need to do so very often. Highly recommend this app..Version: 8.3.3
✓ IndispensableIf you frequently get into the back country, where there's no cellular signal, this is the only app I know of which can track your location and show you where you are. If you keep your phone on airplane mode, so it doesn't go flat looking for a signal, it'll last all day with this on. Getting maps into it is a bit tricky (turn automatic screen locking off while you do it) and screen refresh can be a bit laggy, but when it counts this app is a lifesaver..Version: 8.0.2
✓ AmazingLove it wouldn't go in the hills without it so easy to use and very accurate even under trees.Version: 5.0.2
✓ The best navigation appThis app is the simple to use, accurate, and by far and away the most functional navigation tool available. There is nothing that you can’t do in terms of routing, sharing, import/exporting and much much more - and all with clear, crisp updatable topo maps..Version: 9.4.0
✓ Nice public domain maps, but cap on memoryAccess to the public domain Land Information NZ and 250K Australian maps is good. For some reason there is a limit on the number of maps that can be downloaded. So one cannot actually access all of the free maps. More if a problem for me was a limit on the size of GPX files to 8000 points. This meant I could not store a trip longer than about 130 km..Version: 7.1.3
✓ Essential Back Country AppHave just returned from a tough off track multi pass alpine trip. This App made route finding and navigation very much easier in these open wilderness areas. Putting in regular way points helped track progress and guide us past unseen obstacles. Being able to track real time progress and distance to go helped decision making late in the evening when we needed to decide to stop and camp or push on. One of the party left a brand new iPhone at a break point by mistake but fortunately because we put in way points at break points it was possible for one of us to quickly back track (without heavy pack) and retrace the route to find it. So many thanks to the iHike team for providing such a useful tool. We highly recommend it!.Version: 9.3.2
✓ You should charge moreThis app is fantastic ! Absolute must if you plan on doing a hike ( don’t forget a battery pack 😉 ).Version: 8.1.9
✓ Absolutely wicked!This app has always done we well hunting and hiking I even use it for work finding places in the middle nowhere even way pointing fishing spots off the coast of Gisborne. Would be great if it had a way to search in coordinates for camping spots etc..Version: 5.2.2
✓ More Cost Effective than Mud-MapsI have been a loyal user of Mud Maps on my iPhone for a number of years. I'm Also a User of MacGPS Pro on my MacBook Pro 17". I was forced to Upgrade the iPhone 6S+ to iOS 11 by the Apple Store while purchasing an iWatch. Right away I found that my long used Mud Maps APP would no longer work. Downgrading to iOS 10 was not possible as the Apple Certificate showed expired by Apple after iOS10 was re installed. So I was stuck between a rock and a hard place. Upgrade to Mud Map at $99 as they refuse to make their App compatible with iOS11. OR By a Hema Maps APP at about the same price. Then I noticed that James & Asc. now have iHike for AUSTRALIA which uses the sam 250k NatMap Raster 250 Series Govt Maps that I have on DVD and that Mud Maps in Melbourne Use. So... for $17 I could get the Maps that I use for Prospecting the Outback each year. Great! I havent used the App too much as yet, but I will post an update when I find out more. I still think the title throws Australians off purchasing the App with the NZ in the title. Searches don't show it up as Australian Maps..Version: 8.0.3
