BEST TOPO APP FOR LAND SURVEYORS
I use USGS topos daily and this app is really the best way to use these in modern day. No other topo app has real USGS quad maps, and this one having the ability to walk me to within a hundred feet of a section/township/ range corner is amazing. It is especially helpful to download these quad maps for when I go to remote locations. Can’t recommend it enough if you are a surveyor.
People complain about the outdated maps but if you want a newer map you shouldn’t be using USGS topos

Outstanding app
i’ve been using this on backpacking trips for years. It’s fabulous. What could be better than TopoMaps? Thank you for a great product.
App doesn't download correctly
Will score better when update fixes bug.
Wilderness backpackers
Used Topo maps on a 5 days wilderness trip. Cell phone was on airplane mode to preserve battery life. The Topo map app let me know exactly where I was every step of the way. Just download all the Topo maps you need ahead of time for free and then you are set.
Best Topo App
I’ve used this app weekly since installing it in ‘13. It’s perfect! (Could be more perfect if it were updated for current hardware.)
Don’t let this awesome app disappear. Please update it.

World Traveler!!
I absolutely love this app! It is seriously the best on the market. I use it for work everyday and would recommend it to anyone. You don’t need cell service once you have downloaded the maps you need. I live abroad and cannot find an app that matches the perfection that this one does. I hope someday soon there will be expansions for the app to include the UK and Europe! Any chance let me know thanks!!

Great…Could be magnificent
I like almost everything about this app.
Suggested improvement:
1) Allow downloads of satellite imagery in tiles. I have to use other apps for this, but I’d love the option to zoom in and auto switch from Topo to Sat imagery. It’s annoying on other apps you can download imagery, but you never know how much data is being overwritten in the cache memory of the app…so you never know if looking at a new area cause the other area to ‘zero out.’ Downloading tiles would ensure that anything downloaded remains downloaded in only the areas you want.
2) Allow line of sight calculator to add an up to 15% beyond calculation for more realistic propagation of radio waves. The line of sight tool is a fantastic for estimating UHF reception probability while using the direction and distance calculator. If there was a slider to add a yellow color cast to anything 1-15% beyond line of sight, this would assist in estimating UHF/VHF ground wave propagation/refraction fresnel effect of RF energy.
3) Add center point options for your location other than blue dot.
All in all, great app…could be even better.

Very Awesome
This app is incredible. Blows all others away!
…if you’re a naturalist, hiker, or love being in nature, then get this app. GPS functions very well and the US data from survey is incredible and accurate. I’ve used this app while serving USCG & DHS in Alaska and found it works extremely well while having very little to no listed cellular signal… literally in the middle of the deepest of terrain— I had used this due to the nature of my service for a backup in case I ever faced any emergency situations for basic survival.
I’ve had this app since about 2014 and I find it superior.

Amazing for canoeing
This has saved me $500 and counting worth of topo maps.
The more I learn how to better use it, the better it gets.
Just take screen shots with your phone, save them as google docs and then print them, they are absolutely amazing, easy to access and cheap.
Very happy with this app.
