I fly helicopters and alot of different areas where there is no service and this app has a full topo map of the whole USA. Very valuable when I need to no roads, creeks, or even points of interest. I look forward to the future of this app.
Outstanding Customer Service
After having issues with trying to import GPX files, Mark Granger was prompt and in depth with his correspondence trying to fix the issue.
The app itself is a great overall offline map. I've used it on both cross country flights, and on trails. Lots of great POIs, including many in my local area that I didn't even know about.
My only complaint is that is not the most user friendly at times, and it's not very intuitive, but I feel this could be helped with a good user's guide somewhere within the app itself.

Ditto on the update not loading. Really like the app though and I'm sure a fix will be soon as I'm looking forward to the new features. A bit more intuitive user friendliness will be welcome.
The best feature is that the maps are loaded onto my machine and do not have to come on the server. This is one of the very few map programs that I can use in a plane, out of the reach of any cell coverage.

Simply Brilliant
This is, in my opinion, simply the best US map available for iOS. The developer is very responsive to customer requests and the latest release is simply awesome.
Thoroughly recommended.

Exactly what I wanted!
I have an iPad mini withOUT cell connectivity, and am therefore dependent upon having access to wi-fi to use googlemaps or similar--not so helpful when I'm out and about. I also don't have a smartphone. So, what I really wanted was a road atlas I could use on the go. This app provides that and so much more! (FYI--I just have the free app; no fancy-schmancy 3D upgrades or anything.) I've only had it a little while, but I'm confidant it can provide whatever map info I need, anywhere in the continental U.S. (maybe Alaska and Hawaii too, I just haven't looked). I can zoom in or out to whatever level of detail I need and the road/place names adjust to my new level. The "so much more" aspect is that, while I would have been happy with a simple road atlas, this app also shows topography and features, both natural and man-made. Great info! I do get the feeling all this quality is using up a lot of memory, but for me, it's worth it.

It works fine out of cell phone range
It is an offline map. It works fine when you are out of cell phone range. You do not need gps signal to use the map, you only need gps signal to update your location on the map.
If you have a cell phone model device that does 3g or later, then you also have a built in gps. If you don't have a 3g or later device, you can still do gps with a bluetooth device like bad elf pro. But even without a gps the map still works, though you have to figure out where you are. All of the street names etc still show up, as do the topo lines.

A lot missing
This would be good if the gazetteer was more comprehensive. If you live in Kansas City tough luck you don't exist. Same for Lynchburg in TN. How much else is missin?. Downloaded this app for forthcoming visit to US. Got no confidence in it and will stick to folding paper map. At least it's got everything on it.

No good for out-of-cell-range
Seems to work 'ok' for in-city stuff, but then why? Since in-city 99% of the time you'll have 3G or wi-fi ... and use a 100x better app. Tested this for some off-highway out-of-cell-range areas, and the maps are honestly pretty worthless, lacking most road info and expecially any forestry service roads which I'd imagine are pretty well known (at least in other apps I've used). Better off to just use a different app and pre-download areas before traveling if heading out of cell range. The 3D looks kinda cool, but again it's weak compared to other more solid apps like Maps 3D. Sorry, I usually don't complain on $3.00 but this was a waste of time & space for me.

Good map . . . For free
To get a map of USA for nothing is great. However, spoilt by silly things, such as the incredible number of very large font place names that tend to obscure the map. So, great as a free map, but I'm still looking for a better one, even if I have to pay for it.
Outstanding maps
I jail broke my iPad so I could use a bluetooth gps receiver. I spent my vacation on Lake Mead and was astounded at the detail and route help this app provided. Navigating the coves and channels was made very simple and hiking after beaching was exhilarating knowing this app could tell me what the surroundings were and where the best views were. There was never a worry about returning to the boat. I love this app.
