Topo Maps App Reviews

Ive been using Topo for off-road for 2 years. This GPS app + common sense, keep me well informed.

Finally a super simple gps app with offline maps. All the topos for Canada and US, downloadable in advance for when you dont have a signal. Love that its simple a scan of the old paper topos I know and love but with a pin for my position and oriented with the compass. Its all I need or want when Im in the backcountry. Maps are super easy to find and download, unlike other apps with supposed offline capability. Ive seen complaints about the age of the Canadian maps and I agree, but those are the most recent government maps available; not great for cities but no big deal in the bush.

Great stuff!!! thanks! I wish I could find the exact same thing with marine maps

Love this app. Great price. Very easy to use. Love the waypoints. But would love a track to show where I travelled

Looks great.... But do not waste your money like i did if u want MGRS. you can input the grids, but it only gives u long & lats. Useless to me. Waste of $7.99. Id give it 5 stars if it gave u MGRS...

The program works good via GPS even without cell coverage, quick and easy to understand, I like the option for low or high resolution map scaling. Just remember to upgrade the scale of map you need before leaving cellular coverage. Great elevation, and point of reference option, the only thing I would add would be the ability to have cookie trails that could be turned on and off as required. If cookie trails were on while not plugged into a DC source It would drain the phone battery, but turned on while driving off the beaten track roads would be of value. I use another navigation program for my boat, which does track your path, so it i would think trails should be relatively easy to add as long as you can turn it on or off. All in all I would defiantly recommend this app and have done so numerous times. Ive used it extensively while hunting and hiking and have found it useful. Regards, Ian

As if I payed for this app. Does not zoom in and will not show the entire map. Its a photo of a topo map I want my money back

Great detailed maps and features. Works great on the ipad but gps accuracy on the iphone is terrible. Over a kilometer away from my real position but the ipad accuracy is dead on

If you work or play in the outdoors and require a map look no further, you have found what you are looking for. I was searching for Topographical maps with MGRS capability and I found this app, was a bit hesitant at first but boy am I ever glad I purchased this app. If you ever had to first of all try to track down all these maps you know how hard that is got it MNR may have some but having this collection of maps in one spot wow, then protect them with map tac and expect them to last in our weather you know what I am talking about. As for price of app well I say this go and buy a map book at a gas station and tell me the price u are paying. Once I downloaded the app it also came with a few extra features like adding waypoints, visibility ability from your position, satellite view etc. I am very happy with my purchase and will continue to use this app for many years to come no matter where I am deployed. A few hints, download the maps on your wifi network before you head out, yes you can download on your cell network but it uses a lot of your data. Little hard on your battery if you are using location feature as you are traveling in a vehicle but expected no different from any other app that uses your location. Finally if I had one other option I would like to have the ability to link the waypoints together to build a route but really thats a nice to have, the app for now does exactly what I need it to do. Thanks to the creator.

The best!

Highly recommend

Very happy with this topo app. Does what it is supposed to. Never crashes. Very reliable.

Not accurate showing another location then were you are. Nothing line up. Not worth the money. Better free maps.

Be aware, Bad Elf GPS 1000 wont work on a IPod touch 4th generation when using Topo maps. Topo maps doesnt use it at all... Deceiving!

At this price, its a rip off!

Download the app and proceeded to download too maps. Installed too maps. Looked at top maps and they were old. Not worth even looking at them since some were so old that highways built in the 70’s weren’t on them. Big waste of time.

Most accurate topo map in the App Store. Yeah, the civil side is out of date, but thats what google maps is for. If you dont plan on leaving the city dont get this app. If you want detailed topo information you should get it! It has more information than my Garmin topo software and cost 90% less. With this app, an iPad, and a Garmin GLO GPS receiver, you have every topo map in North America, with your exact location at your finger tips.

This is the best way to get topo maps on your phone in a seamless way. It really works great and I have never had issue with it!

Good interface -- was confused by other apps but not this one. Download multiple maps at once by dragging over a region. Have used on trails, works very well. Thanks, developers!

I live with topographic maps in the field both for work and recreation and after many years, I still find this the best app for accessing topo maps out there. The interface is clean, downloading maps is quick and fairly straightforward, I can upload text files of waypoints, I can mosaic maps. This app does not chew up battery as some do. The only downside is tied directly to the maps themselves, which are dated as USGS has bailed on true updates, instead turning out substandard GIS-based maps that, while more up to date on roads, are otherwise lacking. So long as the user knows the limits of these maps, there is no problem.
