Leave a Review Scenic Map Western USA
Misleading description
The description says that this is an atlas "of the entire Western USA". Yet this is not true. You will note in the small print that the eastern edge of this atlas is at longitude W109. Well, my friends, W109 cuts OFF the eastern 99% of BOTH New Mexico and Colorado, the eastern half of Wyoming and the eastern third of Montana. These lands are ALL (in my mind at least!) essential parts of "the entire Western USA".
Had I been better up on my longitudes, I would NOT have purchased this app.Show lessJohan.Witt
Missing map of Colorado
I live in Boulder, CO. I bought the Western USA Scenic map to use in Colorado. However, when I try to go to my current location in Boulder, a message pops up saying that I am outside the map boundaries, and that I need a map of Western USA. The map's eastern edge stops near Grand Junction!
I reloaded and still have the same problem. I emailed tech support many times and waited for the last 2 months for assistance. Well, tech support is non existent as I never heard back.Show lessmwong00
PLEASE COMBINE!!
This is a 5 Star App! The graphics are of high quality and being able to zoom in that close blow me away! You have 3 maps of this type. Please combine them into one app. The price you are charging is well worth the quality of work that has went into this app. I understand that the file size of having all 3 combined into 1 would be close to 6 gig, but that is still is better that having 3apps for some of us. Maybe a way to buy the extra maps inside the app we already have? Charge the same price or give a discount, eater / or, still worth the price.
BUYERS NOTE: Best topo map as of yet in the app store. A must download, if your into mother earth...Show lessMagic4Us
Awesome offline map detail
I've been waiting for something like this and have tried other apps. This is what I've been waiting for. A good solid map app that doesn't need wifi or data coverage. Very nice one too. 1.7GB of data for the western US? I don't care, this is exactly what I want.
In addition, I'm a pilot and although there are great aviation apps like Foreflight, ScenicMaps allows me to see more detail about the area I'm flying over.Show lessNgrant
Finally, just what I wanted
I am an avid hiker and have downloaded just about every app that could display TOPO and Terrain maps that the store had to offer. I have never enjoyed any of the opencycle maps before, but this app really makes them live up to their potential. I have been using this app for a few weeks now and at least here in Idaho, this map is completely accurate (streets are where they should be). The GPS works wonderfully, the maps are detailed and beautiful.
I still have to refer back to my delorme TOPO on my UMPC for campsites missing from this package, but 90% of what I need this app serves up.
I hope to eventually be able to export waypoints and import GPX tracks, but until then, I will continue to enjoy use of this app. I am about to buy an ipad because of this map app, it's that useful!Show lessTjdmobile
Great App!
App provides GPS locations with an iPad 3G without having to be within AT&T's coverage area. Works like a standalone GPS since map data is preloaded into the iPad. This features does consume 1.8 G bytes of memory. Do to the large size of the App download into iTunes with a broadband connection. It can then be loaded into your iPad via a USB connection.Show lessRonDt
Great little app!
I love this little app. It has already come in very handy when I needed a map and I wasn't near a network. Also, because of this app, I finally figured out the elevation at my house.JayBooker78
A Gazateer In Your Pocket
Let's face it. In a world with Google Earth and satelite-based 3D mapping applications we have all become a bit spoiled when it come to mapping applications. For those of you who can still remember life before Google/Keyhole brought us a 3D spinning globe there used to be paper map books called Gazateers which offered high detail topographic maps for small regions. The scenic map series is the gazateer updated for the 21st century. Because it's all vector based you can zoom in to your heart's content with fantastic detail (gazateer style detail - not road atlas style) and choose what information is overlayed. The coverage area is huge - 1/3rd of the continental U.S. Most importantly it's all resident in your iPhone/iPod - no internet connection required. This is a fantastic product that will mostly be lost on a jaded public. Be advised this product requires about 2GB of space on your device.Show lessWildinWA
Money back please
This is a very poor program. In my area there is a lot of incorrect and missing information, so how can I trust any of it. Names are wrong. Street names are wrong. Street locations are wrong. Streams are in wrong place and are labeled wrong. Campgrounds are shown that don't exist. Major trails in National Parks are not shown. Very poor effort and not worth the money. You are better off with a paper map from AAA.Show lessmtstomper
Quite a feat
Well I haven't yet got my 3G iPad to try this out on the big screen, but I did install it on my iPod touch and this app is nothing short of remarkable. Even on a 2nd generation Touch it's fast, beautiful, and amazingly detailed. On the iPad this is going to be flat-out spectacular. I never thought a map of this complexity could ever be brought to a portable device, but it has been. Superb job!Show lesscrpwest
