Topo Maps+ for Positive User Reviews
✓ Flexible ScaleThe scale changes as you shrink or expand the map. Never found any digital map that would do this. My second time rating this great app. To those who don’t like the old maps, they’re the ones to show you old mines, quarries, railroad right of ways, abandoned structures, monumented and unmonumented benchmarks, etc. The shading for forested land from an old USGS map also shows where the old growth was. Just looking at the differences is fun! Also, the most personal support from any app I’ve had since first ever IPad..Version: 6.0.3
✓ Powerful Tool!Running the pro version and it’s worth every dollar. Invest the time to learn the nuances and you’ll be amazed. Support is stellar. It’s abundantly clear the Topo Maps + developers are passionate about their cool creation; keep up the excellent work! You’re helping us stay safe as we explore❤️.Version: 7.4.2
✓ AmazingA really amazing app. It is astounding how many relatively unknown local trails are in its database. This app is made me take my phone into the backcountry..Version: 4.2.1
✓ Casual Appalachian hikerDecided to go ahead and purchase Topo Maps + Pro after using free version for a little while. I couldn’t be more pleased; I think it is well worth the subscription. Numerous map options. ‘Natural Atlas’ is the one I use the most. Many features and they all seem to work well. Also, the printing feature works well and I just have a regular H&P printer from Wal Mart. The developers send out regular email tutorials too which help, but overall I would say most of the features are pretty intuitive. Thanks!.Version: 5.14.2
✓ My favorite appI’ve never written a review before but this app has compelled me. It functions absolutely flawlessly from my phone with no need to sync with computers and all the headache that comes with a GPS unit. The maps have proved to be accurate and the ability to overlay the Topo and satellite is incredibly useful. When I’m out hiking I put the phone in the airplane mode. And only use about 30 to 40% of the battery in a entire day of hiking and navigation. With a small external battery pack in the same pocket of my backpack as my phone I can easily go for five days of navigating as long as I’m not continuing to room for cell service or playing games at night..Version: 5.2
✓ Hiking in New HampshireThis is an amazing app! Not only does it do everything I wanted and more, but their user support responded quickly and personally to help me figure out what I’m slow to learn. I hike regularly in NH, always using a GPS. I purchased the Pro version of Topo Maps + hoping I could leave my stand-alone GPS at home and instead use this app to find my way. I did a trial hike using both (stand-alone and iPhone app) and was surprised to find Topo Maps + superior in every way! The screen is bigger and easier to use (zoom or look ahead), the map has more detail, and the resulting track is more accurate. Wow. Bye bye stand-alone GPS!.Version: 6.6
✓ Love it!!For actually getting out into the backcountry, this is an amazing app! I am only using the free version, but even that is serving the purpose amazingly well. It has pretty much every trail in our area and all the features I want in a trail app. Keep up the excellent work!!.Version: 4.2.1
✓ So convenient it’s ridiculousI started using this app in Australia and I was sceptical about what I’d experience. I’ve been using it for almost a year now I’m really remote areas and I’m finding trails everywhere as soon as I hit regular hiking areas. I’ve also realised more recently that it has a whole bunch of features I didn’t notice at first like the ability to geo-tag photos and record trail progress. I now use it when I’m trailrunning to track elevation, speed and progress at the same time as checking I’m heading in the right direction. Naming and saving trails is also easy and quick. Just make sure you download all the maps of the area you are on your way to visit BEFORE you get there so that once you lose phone reception and the satellites kick in, you’ll have detailed maps for reference. 😉.Version: 5.2.1
✓ JBPerfect app. Easy to move around and very clear. Great for giving a 3D image of the hills and mountains..Version: 5.0
✓ Love itCertainly makes you feel more comfortable when both you and this great app point in the same direction. I opted for the plus version (not pro), yet now after using this app for 10 walks, am considering the bigger option. Highly recommended.Version: 5.5
✓ Awesome!Great app.Version: 4.2.1
✓ BrilliantAll i can say is brilliant absolutely brilliant its perfect.Version: 4.8
✓ Snowshoeing in YellowstoneMade good use of the app to plan and track a recent snowshoeing trip in Yellowstone National Park. I now use it for ice fishing!.Version: 4.4.3
✓ Excellent customer serviceI had a technical question about the Apple Watch app and Danny answered it brilliantly. Many thanks - nice to see such excellent customer focus..Version: 6.2.5
✓ Awesome App!!I’ve been using this app for about a year now. I used it last fall on a hunting trip. Marked hunting locations, trails, sign, and all sorts of things. I love the fact that you can pick what kind of map you want to view it on, there are so many options! I also ride horse a lot, and a lot of the time there is no reception in the mountains. So the fact that you can download the maps to your phone ahead of time is great!! I am just using the free version but it still works awesome!.Version: 5.1
✓ Amazing appThe pro version of this app is absolutely worth the cost. I generally refuse to purchase subscription software...in fact, this is the first subscription software I’ve ever purchased. But that’s because it’s extremely powerful and the maps are beautiful. If you don’t like the free version (if you’d play around with it, you’d find that it actually has one map that’s not completely low resolution), then watch the videos on the website to be convinced to purchase the pro version. It is absolutely worth the price..Version: 5.14.7
✓ Great!Excellent app, amazing for offline use. Great combination to Foreflight for VFR. Would be nice to download more than 20 tiles at a time though..Version: 2.8
✓ Starting outThis app is one of the cleanest, easiest to learn and use interfaces out there. Easy to import and export to Google Earth kmz's. Simple to record tracks and low Resolution maps are adequate for most activities, so little need to upgrade..Version: 4.6
✓ Great app, but most recent release freezingI've been using this app for all my hiking the past year, it's served me very well, has led to lots I new exploration and feeling more confident in my location. The current update is constantly freezing... Would appreciate getting whatever bug there is worked out..Version: 4.1.1
✓ GPS and PrintAlways know where you are. With this app you can download your maps to your iPhone and have a printed map from the app. I never worry about my iPhone dying because I have the printed maps. I print them a bit larger so I don’t have to use my glasses. The app lets you customize the size, choose between different maps and even overlay maps to get the look you want. I also use my iPhone to check my navigation skills while using the paper map. The app shows right where you are using its GPS on the trail. Never feel lost again..Version: 4.12
✓ NFG1 start is far too much! Won’t allow downloading, even after buying paying for 3 months.Version: 5.0.3
✓ Great App and Amazing SupportI love using this app for my outdoor adventures. No cell service required! I love being able to switch between different map views. I had a recent issue with the app and the developers worked with me and had a fix within days of first reporting the issue! Great app with amazing support!.Version: 5.9.1
✓ Professional Use, Applicable Settings, Top Tier ServiceI have used this application across a wide range of use from Military use in terrain evaluation and movement. To personal hikes to get to prominent locations. I have continued to be impressed by the quality of service from the Topo Maps+ team. I also am thankful for the commitment to Service members and their families. They have so many great features from hunting use to national parks I have used Topo Maps+ in states ranging from Washington, Utah, Alabama, Florida, Idaho, Montana, Colorado, Wyoming, and Arizona I have tested and used this application. It has yet to fail me in any standard from up to date maps, inputting various coordinate systems, and navigate the land from both my mobile platform and from my Mac with trails and roads easily viewable. I have used other apps but none that have my loyalty and use like Topo Maps+. I have used this application for over a year and depend on it weekly in career and personal use. It’s worth your consideration..Version: 5.4
✓ Very pleasedThis will be my third year using Topo Maps+. I used the free version on a nine-day backpacking trip the first year and it worked fine. I’ve upgraded for the last two years, appreciating the extra detail and features given that much of our backpack trips are off trail. It’s fun to play with the maps ahead of the trip to see distances and elevation gains for different routes. I take a small charging block just in case, but even over 10-day trips, judicious use of the iPhone allowed us to refer to the maps whenever needed without power issues. I have been particularly impressed by the customer service the couple of times I have had questions. Responses have been prompt and very helpful..Version: 5.14.7
✓ Hiking EnthusiastUse my TopoMaps+ several times a week. Tracking is better than most high dollar handheld GPS units, of which I have several. I use the track and waypoints for info in preparing Hiking Guidebooks. I compare coordinates with handheld units and they are right on. Love the options available for transferring data. It’s easy. The Pro version has added options which I really like. I gave recommended this App to a lot of my hiking buddies and they love it too. Best App available for GPS tracking. The variety of maps are amazing also..Version: 5.10.1
✓ New to the hillsUsed this apps few times now doing the Munro' , as much as not all the walks are on it ,I've found it very useful especially when the Scottish mist comes down . Keep up the good work :-).Version: 4.8
✓ Very useful and straight forwardI’ve been using Topo Maps+ for about a month or so now and have appreciated it’s power & simplicity. It’s very helpful to be able to download the tiles for an area to work offline when backpacking. I recently purchased the pro version for increased resolution and I think it’s worth the extra money. It does take a bit longer to download tiles but it’s not terrible with a good internet connection and it’s to be expected. I haven’t tested all of the features let but love the ones that I have. I’ve also contacted Danny with a contour label discrepancy on one of the maps & He was very responsive & friendly. The free version has worked fine but I really like the clarity of the higher resolution. Another advantage of the pro version is that it supports future development & improvements..Version: 5.9.1
✓ Not much to say beyond fantastic.I have been using this app for almost two years now and have used it in the USA from coast to coast Hawaii and even in Guam. It has never failed to get me information I need to make it to the trailhead and into the backcountry. There is sometimes a little learning curve to pick the right map city, suburbs or backcountry, but once I’ve made a decision I have never Ben disappointed. I have used this app on Three of New Zealand’s Great walks and several day hikes just inside and out of Aukland. And just recently used it just for grins at the Great Wall outside of Beijing, don’t need a map to follow the Great Wall. My only issue there was lack of gps coverage even with a bad elf plugged into my iPhone 7 Plus. Keep playing with the map because every time I do, I seem to find something else that's new. I’m a tried and true paper map hiker but love this app for the holes in paper map coverage or route changes in my wanderings. Can’t wait to try out the new US Natural Map..Version: 4.12
✓ Topo Maps is greatI used another apps for hiking trails prior using Topo Maps. Topo Maps has been great a mobile phone GPS apps. The maps are great. Logging trails and marking waypoints are easy to do. The stats on distance, elevation, hiking duration, etc, are great features and are pretty accurate. Maps download is simple to do. This apps has all the features that I need to track and record my trails. Although I have a GPS, I have been using this apps instead of my GPS. Once I downloaded the maps I need, I can use them offline which is an important feature to me. When I need to reinstall the apps due to phone issue, I don’t lose my recorded tracks which is a big plus. The apps is dependable and has all the features I like to have for my needs. When you have questions regarding the apps, you get response back promptly which I really appreciate. Great apps to use for trails for my needs. Thanks for developed a great GPS apps for mobile phone..Version: 5.9
✓ Awesome, very accurate appI had downloaded this app quite a while ago and didn’t really have any reason to use it. The other day however we did and we are very thankful for it working as well as it did. Living in Whistler and being in the back country on almost daily basis there are many apps out there which can guide you around, None of them did as much of a good job as Topo maps. My son (lots of experience, 16 years old) got lost on a Back Country trip with his brother and me. Trying several apps which could not help I resourced to topo maps. Within minutes we could find his exact location which enabled us to rescue him after a couple of hours unharmed and in good spirits. This app is worth every penny in my opinion..Version: 6.3.3
✓ As good as it gets!One of those really rare apps where function, interface and support are all near-perfect. Even when I’m in Thailand the maps are more useful than Google or Apple for outdoor navigation. In the US, the detail includes hi-res satellite images and everything USGS offers. You can plan a route to avoid whatever features you want to, see an elevation profile, and zoom in on satellite imagery close enough to see if roads and trails look like fun. When you’re under way, you get a warning when you’re off track, an easy way to take a bearing on nearby topographic features, and a very detailed log. Add photos whenever. The Apple Watch app works like a charm, too: no need to have your phone with you. Get home and export your track to Google Earth, e-mail it to your mother, whatever. Yes, you have to pay — but none of the other gear you need is free, and very little of it is as good..Version: 6.2.4
✓ Great app, involved developer!There are a lot of mapping apps out there, and this is definitely one of the best. The mobile app is well-designed by someone who actually spends time in the backcountry, and tight integration with a full-featured desktop app is awesome. Most importantly, the developer Stephen Johnson is highly responsive to user comments & feature suggestions--a couple features I suggested were quickly added to the app in updates--outstanding! $50/year for full access to all high-res maps is totally reasonable, and the recent update to V5 is a big improvement. Thanks Stephen!.Version: 5.0
✓ The Best Out There, So You Can Get Out ThereI’ve tried all the other backcountry mapping apps, and I always come back to TopoMaps+. The interface is easy to use, looks (and behaves) native, the free version is very usable, and my goodness, the number of power-user features is amazing. I’ve been intensely mapping trails and points of interest for the last several years in a mountain range, and I’m able to keep my hundreds of waypoints and trails organized and at-hand because of the clever tagging system. There are a lot of good maps, even without the pro subscription or map pass. And the other hiking oriented features work great too (I love “Progress on Trail”). It’s saved my bacon several times when navigating off-trail in deep woods in the dark, so, thank you developers!.Version: 5.11
✓ Pretty good Canadian coverageCompared to the other popular apps out there that I’ve used I think this app has decent coverage here in BC. Canada is a small market for this type of app but we’ve got a ton of trails that aren’t shown on other apps. Also, their support is second to none..Version: 6.6
✓ Excellent customer serviceHave to say the customer service is fantastic and personal. Had a query and got a response over the festive period. Great trial option for those wanting to test before buying. Highly recommended..Version: 7.2.4
✓ Topo Maps+This a great hiking app. So much to offer. The app has the most trails of any app. Lots of maps to choose from. USGS maps to Appalachian Trail Maps. You can plan hiking trips and see what kind of elevation you will encounter. Later this year I will be going to New Mexico so I downloaded the Benchmark Maps which will be great use to me. If you take photos while your hiking they will appear on the trail. It even shows you what direction you took the picture. Finally great support from the designers of the app. They helped me a lot. I highly recommend this app..Version: 5.10.1
✓ Topo Maps+This app gives you all you need to enjoy your trails. It is very well designed, easy and intuitive you use. I’m using in all my trails, specially to track new routes (at least to me). The support is always there if you have questions. Fernando Canada, BC.Version: 6.2.5
✓ Great app but one weakness: Needs much larger fontsI have been using Topo Maps+ for mountain day hiking. Overall excellent maps and features but I find the labels on the maps very hard to read. Would appreciate if we had the option for the smallest labels to be literally triple the size they are now. When I magnify the maps by zooming in the text resizes to far-too-small-to-read. Otherwise I have only praise for the design and usability. Thanks..Version: 6.12
✓ Great appThis is a great app and the maps are very accurate...Version: 3.4
✓ Super App and Outstanding Customer ServiceThis has been my go to app for several years. It has everything I need. Access to maps of all kinds, the ability to download for offline use, to track and trace your hike in all sorts of different ways. The user interface is very intuitive and the app has always been completely reliable. I use it primarily for hiking but also for running, biking, and even documenting sightseeing walks or drives when I travel. One of the things I like to do is to upload my hikes or travels to my computer which is easy to do, plus you can go the other direction and upload gpx or kml tracks into the app. It also gives you the opportunity for land ownership maps if you want to subscribe to it which I have found very useful. I love it! I am writing this review now because recently I had troubles with uploading some files to my computer and I sent them an email about it, figuring I would have to wait weeks or maybe longer. Instead I went out for a bike ride and when I got back, I had an email from them diagnosing the problem, fixing it, and even giving me a workaround for old files! That's the best customer service I have seen in years! So you can't go wrong with this app..Version: 7.5.8
✓ Great maps and hopefully with long term support.Have used many gps apps and have lost many gpx tracks from other apps that won’t update to the new IOS Systems for iPhones. It’s very frustrating. I hope that this app continues support for its users. On that note, I am extremely happy with the quality of maps even though I do not have the premium edition..Version: 4.10
✓ New trail makerI have been using topo maps for about 8-9 mths now and it has been an excellent land navigation tool and a very ease app to play with. I am a member of the Phuket HHH and this is reflected in my nickname. I love walking and running and especially finding new exciting places for my running club to explore. I am one of many who set the trails for others to follow. Topo maps has made my work in the field and back on the desktop so much easier. I plan to use for many years to come and look forward to more great ideas and upgrades. Thanks topo maps, its awsome. Just an update. I am a regular user of this awsome app and each time I use it I find new ways to make my hiking experience better. Keep the good trails coming.Version: 4.2.1
✓ ExcellentGreat App.Version: 4.2.1
✓ Used the app since 2018, AwesomeI started using the free version of the app in 2018, then add a map pass and soon upgraded to the Pro version. All through that time they have been making changes and fixing things that didn’t go quite right, but always open to suggestions to make it better for us out on the trails. I use it while riding my ATV, making maps of the trail in our area of Alberta Canada. I also use it while hiking the desert trails, in California, where we spend our time in the winter. This app gives me the confidence to get out and do the hiking or quading, as it provides all that I need, to know exactly where I am, while on or off line. I have tried many different apps over the years, but this one stands out over the others, as it was obviously designed by people that use the app themselves. If you use the outdoors, you should have this app on your phone. Murray.Version: 6.4.1
✓ Great appThis app is extremely well designed and executed. But beyond that, the support and ongoing communication and thought-leadership from the creators is outstanding..Version: 5.14.2
✓ Topo+ made this year’s PCT hike a complete success.I was given responsibility for supporting several backpackers doing a SoCal section of the PCT. This involved daily travel to supply water and transport hikers to and from trail junctions and off trail camp sites. Without Topo+ this would have been impossible. Traveling the vast network of ATV trails was a success solely because I had Topo+ running as I was navigating. It proved a complete success in providing me with guidance on my own trail hiking too. I have never used trail mapping software before - google maps meets my daily needs so I was amazed and relieved at how intuitive the Topo+ software is to use. And the emailed user advice proved perfect. I recommend this app to everyone who wants an intuitive tool for planning and carrying out your travel adventures..Version: 6.6
✓ Great AppAwesome app guys!!! Love the features you get when purchasing a plan..Version: 4.4.2
✓ Go to tool for serious hikingMy wife and I have used Topomaps (pro version) for the last 3 + years and although we have some other hiking/trail apps tools that we use also, Topomaps is our go to mapping/hiking tool for our serious backcountry hikes. One of the greatest things about Topomaps is the very prompt support I get from Stephen and/or Danny when I have problems...or just questions. They are VERY good at getting back to me in a timely manner and explain things in terms I can understand. Yes, there are glitches with the app on occasions but there are with any app. It seems like they do their very best to provide the proper updates to fix the glitches as quickly as possible. Keep up the good work guys and thanks for a great product. Marty.Version: 5.10.1
✓ A great tool for the prepared traveler.I use Topo Maps + before, during, and after every trip to parts unknown. By downloading maps of the areas I expect to visit beforehand, I have a custom atlas at my fingertips—no cell signal or wi-fi needed. During the trip, I often know better than my Google- or Apple-Maps-using companions where we are. By dropping pins, I can chart my progress, see where I’ve been, and recall where I was after I return home. Great for road trips as well as hiking, bicycling, and the like. My only concern is that there doesn’t appear to be a way to export the data. As my iPhone 6 approaches end of useful life, I wonder how I’ll preserve the data. I should be able to migrate it to another device, but some sort of database export would be very welcome..Version: 5.11
✓ Trail over a cliff?This App saved the day. A while back, hiking in fresh snow, I was following cairns and found myself at the top of a cliff. Not a person within 100 kilometres. Looking back and trying to discover where I went wrong I realised I was not going to find the buried trail. Then I remembered I had loaded this App in my phone. No service there but the maps were all there and the GPS placed me on the map. As I zoomed in I found the trail I was hiking. That was unexpected as it was a rather esoteric trail that not many know about. I was able to immediately find my way back to the trail and relied on the App, rather than the cairns, for the rest of the trip. Thanks!.Version: 4.4.3
✓ SharingI shared this app to another co-worker because we both like to ride our mountain bikes and thought it would help in areas we weren’t familiar with. See this guy is an engineer and when he had an issue with flooding on our highway, dangerous to our travelers. They needed to know where the water was coming from and he remembered he had the topo map and it provided him with answers why the water was flowing towards the highway. Since then he also had his engineers down load the app also..Version: 5.2.1
✓ Exactly as advertised!I just returned from a week paddling in Quetico Provincial Park, a wilderness canoe area in Ontario, adjacent to the Boundary Waters in MN. In the past, I've relied solely on a compass and map to navigate in Quetico, but this time I wanted a GPS backup (without buying an expensive GPS unit), i.e. a smartphone app. I'd read some positive reviews of Topo Maps +, and contacted them with some questions. I ended up corresponding with Stephen Johnson, founder of Glacier Peak Studios. He patiently walked me through the (simple and intuitive) set up, and guided me on how to download the maps I needed for Quetico into my smartphone, and explained how I could count on the phone's GPS capability even when I had no cell service or wifi in the bush. Bottom line: five or six times last week, I opened the app (in Quetico, in the "middle of nowhere" with absolutely no cell or wifi service of any kind). Within 30 seconds or so, my phone was showing me EXACTLY where I was in high res detail (again, pinpointing my precise location on a particular lake, island, portage, etc.). Worked like a charm every time with no exceptions! Cannot speak highly enough of the app or the support. If there were a six star rating, they'd get it from me!.Version: 4.8
✓ Love This App!!Planned more hikes than we had days for in Rocky Mountain National Park for the second week of June not knowing exactly what kind of snow we'd find on the trails. Topo Maps+ was a blessing when the snow obliterated the trails. In addition, the Progress on Trail function is amazing fo those long hikes. It lets you know where you are and how much longer you have to go to the next waypoint or till the end. Furthermore,the manager, Danny Scott, is a treasure. I love the emails with tips and suggestions and when I had a question about a particular feature he was on it right away. Thank you for an App that works and continues to grow and develop. Cheers!!.Version: 5.7.2
✓ TopoMaps+ is simply the bestWe spend over 75 days a year climbing mostly In places without cell service- i never leave the house without my SPOT, my Sat Phone, and TopoMaps+ downloaded... it is by far the best Topo map app there is. Great support and works flawlessly with downloaded maps in Airplane Mode when out of cell. It has been a game changer for us in terms of hiking, back country running, hunting, climbing, skiing and every outdoor activity we do here in Idaho, across the West, and in elite Sky Running Races in Europe. Get Pro version- you will not regret it.Version: 5.2.1
✓ Great!Free version has Offline Downloadable map chunks, decent resolution, and RELIABLE. GPS location compatible. I download the map chunks and use them with google earth when planning my 3-7 day hikes in "real" wilderness with only animal trails and forest service roads. I can use it for alternative routes (paths of least resistance) and emergency locations for rescue and water refill. ALWAYS share your path, and points of interest throughly with someone else, and be realistic. I can hike 4 MPH on clear roads and trails for 12 hours a day... But in the wild your paths are not straight, and the going is not that easy. For safety, I plan for 2 miles a day, and use the rest of the time for food, camp, and water. I don't want anyone fired from their job, hurt, lost, or freaking out wondering about the unknown if something were to happen to me. I'm a professional, and this a a simplified review. If you are confident, you are going to fail. Plan better. This tool helps..Version: 4.8
✓ Get the upgradeIf you plan to do any hiking or hunting, get the upgraded detailed maps. This is by far the best map app I have used..Version: 3.4
✓ Simply OutstandingI'm a landscape photographer and time lapse enthusiast. I work with three topographic maps apps, several star constellation apps, and The Photographers Ephemeris. I didn't like the idea of paying for maps at first, but man alive! It unlocks so much, the maps are by far the clearest I've worked with, period. I do hiking, so knowing distance by tracing, the elevation changes I'll have to do, or when I roam to with the ability to trace my own route? Brilliant! It's so legible, clean, and easy to use. Sometimes I go though narrow breaks in thick brush or fences that have fallen, this allows me to retrace and slip through the same passages. You can trace a route, download maps for that trace, you can see elevation by sliding through the trace, it's just astounding. When I went down to Mexico and Arizona, I precached my maps via airport wifi, and hotel wifi, and the moment I lost phone service, I had all my maps ready to go! And GPS location isn't relevant to phone service, so even abroad I have maps. Don't let the bad reviews sway you, the basic maps are great, but dropping 15 bucks gets you a dozen different type of topographic maps with different representations and different legends, and incredibly clear concise maps. Bravo!!.Version: 3.5
✓ A MUST HAVE OUTDOORSMAN APPI've been a grateful user, for a few years now👍 I continuously travel, play and explore, in "no cell reception" areas...with confidence, thanks to Topo Maps+. Not only can I see exactly where I am and need to go (thanks to the offline/airplane mode GPS)...but best of all, a person can set waypoints and record routes (to favourite fishing spots, campsites, points of interest..etc)!!!!!! In the city or wherever your curiosity takes you...Topo Maps+ will add to life's adventure 👍👍. Thank-You, Topo Maps+!!.Version: 4.6
✓ GreatUse this app loads, stores all my trips historically. Highly recommended..Version: 4.4.2
✓ 1 year in I’m still loving it!It’s been a year now since I purchased the Topo app. I have to say, I’ve never felt more comfortable or received more support in any app. This is how all app developers should act. If you are looking for a map app which supports every imaginable option but does so with simplicity GET THIS APP. No, this is not a paid endorsement, these guys love what they do and do it very well. They use their own app, listen to feedback and are a always looking for ways to improve. Stephen’s e-mails provide great tips and keep you posted on the latest improvements. Way to go guys ... keep up the good work..Version: 6.0.1
✓ Big Bend gps works great without serviceJust got back from the mountains of west Texas. Really enjoyed my iphone (which is my gps, camera, and compass) running topi maps +. Before hiking I subscribed and was able to download the needed high resolution maps but at the check in point only had 1-2 bars of service—so took 1/2 hour for just 4 sections. but worked fine. Tracked my hikes with magenta color and kept me from getting lost or circling. However—WHAT does it mean when the blue locator ball has a ray beam? ALSO—what is that wagging tail pointer needed for (on the blue ball)since its not pointing to magnetic North? So i give this app a 4 because of the skimpy outback “manual”. Hey some of us are new at digital GPS apps! Otherwise its a bargain and can save time or even lives. Nice app overall..Version: 5.11
✓ UsefulVery useful when hiking to know how far along a track you are. Would highly recommend..Version: 4.3.1
✓ Spend some time with it before you head outI downloaded this for a trip to the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone. I went ahead and paid for the detailed maps of those parks as separate purchases. Once I got to the area, I couldn’t tell if I was using those maps. I finally realized that I wasn’t. I kept trying to download them, but iffy WiFi and cell signal in the park made it fail. I finally sent a note to support and got a reply from the founder of this app. I really can’t fault his follow up. He talked me through the maps icon showing the map you are using having a green border. The downloads have to continue until they say Open. At home this is no big deal, but on low bandwidth that download can sit in full green for a while before showing Open. I kept closing it too soon. Anyway, resolution is very good on those purchased maps and if you download them ahead of time, it is easy to use. With family sharing, others in the family can also download them. A friend that came with us got the subscription. This meant she had to download each map section. Again, better to do that before you leave stable WiFi. Only after I got home did I try my iPad. Looks great and we could have used that for planning the next days hikes over dinner. Without GPS, wifi only iPad won’t show location or path. But it is a nice big, high quality map for planning. So the interface could be easier, but it works as advertised and the founder Mr. Johnson has my thanks for reaching out to help, personally..Version: 5.1
✓ It really works!!I recently did a 10 day off-road camping trip to the North Eastern Sierras where I took my jeep into the back country where I knew I would not have a signal of any kind. I preloaded the topographic maps into my cell phone and was amazed at how precise this mapping tool is. It was able to pinpoint my exact location at all times in areas where I would have otherwise needed to rely on a Garmin GPS with birds-eye imaging. Just make sure to download the maps prior to your trip. Amazing App!!.Version: 4.8
✓ Some hiccupsFirst off, I have been using this app since 2017 or earlier, most for hiking in remote mountains. I started with the free version and I likes it enough to have upgraded to pro version after a few months. Overall, I love the app, it's easy to use, the high def map is very clear; overall the routes are accurate... very far and between, the tracking would act weirdly-- instead of the actual path, it would be a straight line between two points. This doesn't happen often, but when it does, it's very frustrating. This used to be my only complain. However, this year, I have noticed the map has not run as smoothly as it used , it opens a lot slower and keeps on showing the message that I was attempting to view a section that was not downloaded despite the opposite. Also, the mileage has been on average much more than my other tracking devices ( Garmin watch/ apple watch/ garmin inreach)and apps( Allatrails / Gaia GPS) . These two problems have been really frustrating, especially the map viewing glitches. Tried to find solutions on their website but in vain! Not sure if other people have experienced the same issues and what is the remedy! Otherwise, this is a nice app..Version: 7.6
✓ OutstandingFor an app it has some of the highest end features you would only see on a pc,and not all on one program. Great maps and easy to navigate. It's the only app I run now..Version: 4.1.1
✓ HawgGreat prog have used it for everything for the last year and a half. It’s everything I need keep up the good work.Version: 5.13
✓ How do I transfer my data to my new phone??Been using the app for years, and it is flawless. phone reception or not - This app will take you places. With that being said, I upgraded to the iPhone 13 pro max today and this was literally the first app I downloaded. I logged in, and it appears as though my years worth of trails and tagged spots have disappeared. I’d really like to get those back if anyone can shed any light on it for me! Thanks for reading..Version: 6.12.4
✓ Topo maps 👍Very nice app for being free. Wish the maps had a little better detail and in my area some of the trails are not updated or the original trails are off a little bit but I have been tracking all the trails myself and manually adding every trail in my area on my phone. I love the app I wish I knew if there was a way to submit this map from my phone to topo maps to get all the trails I have mapped printed out on a copy like 4’x5’ to hang on my way in my garage or at Camp. I recommended this to a few people and they also like the app.Version: 5.1
✓ My complimentsAdded Note: developer response to App Store reviews is VERY prompt, and helpful. A suggestion: provide a link to the help email address someplace in the MacOS app. Selecting MacOS Help shows: “Help isn’t available for Topo Maps.” A comment: I’m happy with the costs. I’d much rather be the customer than the product. Adding MacOS app to subscription: if you have a Pro subscription via the iPhone/iPad app and later download the app for MacOS, there evidently can be a delay between signing in and the subscription update. It can be a little confusing because routes, waypoints, etc. update right away leading you to suspect that something isn’t working right. A few minor glitches, but... What a great app! Detailed maps of trails excluded from other apps and maps. If one map doesn’t show the trail, another map will. I love the trail planning capabilities. The snap-to-waypoint feature makes it exceptionally easy to plan a hike and get detailed information about it. Even if part of the hike is on, for example, a road and not a recognized trail, that portion can easily be added using freehand route tracing. Just fantastic..Version: 6.3.3
✓ Could be a life saverI’ve been using TopoMaps+ for several years and it has never failed to track within a few feet of the trail, and get me right back on track when I strayed. Notably in cloud-forest in Colombia, in thick cloud on top of Table Mountain, and recently a few times in the White Mountains NH where the trail just disappeared on me. Many thanks for this app, it has turned several potentially-seriously-dangerous scenarios into “no problem”. (Tips - I always use TopoMaps+ for route planning, and always download the route to my phone in advance). Thankyou!.Version: 6.1.2
✓ Great app, even the free versionI like pretty much everything, however the update that added all of the new waypoints overwrote some of my old waypoints that I already had saved on my maps, if possible could the old waypoints be added back in a future update? The old upside down teardrop had higher contrast with a dark bottom and lighter top that was much easier to distinguish if you had a few waypoints close together. And when importing it’d be great to have the option to change all of the waypoint icons at once, I may have just not seen the option to do that if it’s already there but it would be great to organize waypoints by each import from a kml file. But anyway, for a free hiking map app I’ve not seen any better ones available, I spend a lot of time in the woods at work and in my free time so this app has been invaluable to me.Version: 6.1.1
✓ A great Hiking PartnerI have used paper USGS Topo maps for years both in the real estate business and for hiking and outdoor recreation. Now I can have the map in my pocket, both with and without cell access, that shows me where I’m at all times with several map formats to use. So far I have only used it for hiking in my local area, but looking forward to use this app in areas that I’m not familiar with as we travel around the country looking for hiking and biking opportunities..Version: 6.9.1
✓ Has never faulted after many, many walksI use this app all the time. I can import trails from walking websites directly into it and then download my offline maps. We’ve never been let down by this app and it gives you great confidence and time management. It backs up data for me. The maps are clear band my position is easy to find and use. Sometimes, when the trail is not clear, we use this app for a few min to find the trail again. Highly recommend.Version: 6.2.5
✓ GREAT CUSTOMER SUPPORTI have been using this app for almost 2 years. I started with the free version, just tracking my horseback trail rides. Then I decided our favorite camp area had dozens of trails but no map to give other campers/riders. So, as a complete novice I took it upon myself to start building a map of all the areas horse/hiking trails. I don’t think Topo Maps+ was (originally) designed for the specific application, but the developers have really stepped up to help me accomplish this project. They are always quick to respond and very patient and helpful with my questions and the problems I encounter. They have also been very receptive to suggested updates that would help with my project, and ultimately be helpful with others using the app. Hopefully this app. will continue to grow and become even more robust and easy to use. Thanks.Version: 6.6
