The best map app
A topo app you can use offline? What more could an outdoorsman want. I only give it 4/5 stars just because no one believes that 5/5 star reviews are authentic. I love this app and use it all the time in the back country where there’s no cell or wifi. Keep up the great work!
A complete western us map in your pocket
I’ve used this for years to navigate the mountains and canyons of the Western US. It is the most reliable, complete OFFLINE map I’ve found. It’s imaging and shading are very useful for getting a sense of the terrain, vegetation, and even where sunlight is hitting.
The limitations are that the dirt road and trail accuracy is decent, but not great. Eg here in Idaho there are old roads that traverse private property or are defunct, still shown here. However, this isn’t alone in that problem, most other maps have the same issue.
The good news is that this also includes some roads and trails that the other major maps are missing.
The user interface is a bit unusual at first, but once used to it, it is powerful.
I always keep a copy of this on my devices, you never know when the zombie apocalypse will knock out the internet (or maybe you just go out of cell range).

I really like it
I love the fact it does not need cell coverage to work. I can be in the middle of no where and have this thing show me my location. Far to many people get into the hills and get lost. Then cant even tell the SAR team their location. This turns my cellphone into a mapping GPS without cell coverage. I love it. But know this app is big.
Still loving it! 9 June 2019 I have used it deep canyons and it still works.

Don’t buy the negative reviews
I’ve read through most of the negative comments, and I think operator error is the cause of most of them. This is still the best topo app overall I’ve found, and it’s offline! To be fair, I find that I don’t use the joystick gestures anymore, but it was a cool idea. And I’d still like to name presets. However, I recently had trouble adding a track from a KML file, and contacted Mark. He offered to convert the file for me! Hows that for customer support?! Are any negative reviewers doing due diligence before blasting the app? Resources are available. Map resolution is high. Even 2 track roads are there. Loads fast on my phone, which is only an IPhone 6. I can’t say enough good things about it. I’ve used it in several western states now, and haven’t had issues. Satellite overlay is now available when online, which is a)awesome and b) shows continuous improvement. All for 15 bucks. Sorry, but the negative reviewers are irritating me.

Disappointed
Way to slow rendering maps. Pyrolysis needs work
Essential when out in the backcountry
This app is easily the best I've used of its type. I use it routinely when backcountry skiing and hiking in the western United States. It is my first choice when planning tours and making adjustments on route.
The maps are excellent, clear and well detailed and the UI is intuitive. No need to download maps is great. I discovered it also includes Hawaii which was an unexpected pleasure. Everything you want, nothing you don't. 5/5

excellent
I travelled to the southwest on a hiking/ camping road trip to two weeks and used this app for city and backcountry navigation. it worked really well. I had no data so everything preloaded was great to have.
Only select area have detail
Low on detail compared to eastern version and other poducts
South West not in western map ?
Are you kidding me!? 90% of Colorado and New Mexico are missing from the Western USA map!!
So now I'll have to buy two different maps and spend twice as much just to see what should already be included in this OVER PRICED app? It's hard to navigate and does not work as smoothly as most other map apps. Deleted !
