Hello, thanks for your review. Best regardsPowerful flexible navigational tool for hikers
I have been using IPhigenie for 12 years now as a navigational aid while hiking and walking in France. The access to the range of map bases in France is excellent - IGN maps of varying scales, cadastre, satellite are very helpful when I am trying to find a way through an unknown area. I can easily switch while planning or underway. I save my traces in folders and can share them with others and can import traces that I want to try and follow. I can load the maps before hiking and have full access to my position and to the maps even when there is no cellular access. In fact I started using iphigenie on an iPad without a cellular connection and later moved to an iPhone. Now I have iphigenie on my Mac also and the large screen makes it handy for planning purposes - creating new routes, editing routes and printing maps of my route (I use screenshot for this). I now have 12 years of saved tracks - mine and those of others that I have imported. I have used some of the other navigational apps and none appear to do everything that I can do with Iphigenie. With all its power, it is perhaps less intuitive than some other apps. I have read that the new developers are working to improve its ease of use. But from the beginning, I could do what I needed to do and with time, I learned to use its more advanced features. It has been an excellent tool that has helped me figure out so many great hikes and to explore confidently when I am out hiking.Show lessKathy-p
Fantastic maps of France
It’s amazing. The IGN maps of France are amazing and being able to access them on phone or iPad through this app, at the many scales, is so practical.Dock user

On the free trial the position reticle appears switched off so it’s no use on the trails.MattCorsica

Good afternoon. Please follow this link to find help https://manuels.iphigen.ie/fr/article/probleme-avec-lenregistrement-des-traces-android-1173c6z/ Or please contact our support by email to obtain answer. Because the reviews are not dedicated for that. Best regardsTricky uk but very powerful
This is a great app. It is the best way to get the superb IGN maps of France. Maps for several other European countries are available in the app. You can have two maps in use as overlays and shift between them - including geological maps.
BUT the UI is generally fiddly and over complex.
Also the manual is in French and omits (or hides!) some critical information- in particular that to switch from north top maps to rotating maps you need to triple-click the screen.Show lesshelicosphaera
Brilliant
I think this app is first class. Easy to use and changes scale seamlessly. Based on the very good IGN maps.ITH2013
Not Loading
Have paid but maps are not loading. Still asking for subscription.laceymoppy
Takes payment gives nothing
How often. How much. Does one have to pay subscription to enable local maps to work ?
Annoyed
And given up with this app, as a potential bottomless pit which gives nothingCapt Clem
Awesome and reliable
After reading the translated (brief) instructions, I loaded the maps for the 4 days walking I had and never looked back. The gps tacked perfectly while my phone was in flight mode and used 25% of battery after a 25+km day walk. The watch app add on was a handy addition.Bingi-Wingi
