It's wonderful... When you can get the off-line maps to download
I used this app on my iPad all over the world. I would give it 5 stars, except that now there seems to be an issue with downloading Google based maps and images. I sure hope they get that fixed. Sad to see so many poor reviews, i wonder if they ever watched the instructional videos?
Looks good !
Nice app with great functionalities. Quite expensive though, hope developer will update it some more in the coming months. At least for iOS 8...
No longer works, will not download, LOST ALL MY DATA!!!!!
This app was absolutely brilliant, but now after waiting for hours for tracks to open and program to start, I deleted and now it will not download. No updates for a year??? This app is rubbish! I want my money back. Should have no stars.
disappointed
This used to be one of the most useful apps for our field staff. Sometime after iOS8, a few key features stopped working (offline caching etc). This lost functionality lowered its usefulness to the point where we now use alternative apps. The developer is aware of the issues. It has been a problem for many months now. Disappointed.

SHAME ON APPLE!
Shame on Apple for allowing this app to be sold on their network!!!
This app is a scam! IT IS NOT "HD"!! And it will not perform as the scam artists who are producing and selling it fraudulently advertise!!
The marketing of this app is despicable fraud and the producer/s lie, lie, lie!!
Do not waste your money on this rip off!!

DO NOT DOWNLOAD!
There is a critical bug that doesn’t allow offline mapping to be enabled. I emailed support with a video showing the issue and got no response. Ended up getting a refund as it is essentially useless with no developer support.
That is not to mention the fact the developer then charges you again for the iPhone version of the same thing!!! No one else does this, total SCAM!

Mr
This app dose not work when I try to cache a region offline. I want my money.
Perfect for hiking,,,,
Tip: caching maps doesn't work in landscape mode. Make sure to flip your iPad to portrait mode for it to work.
I live on an 18,000 acre ranch and hike 2 hours a day looking for caves, dinosaur tracks, and bones. The main problem I had was keeping track of all the places I've hiked, as well as the locations of discoveries made. 18k acres is a 24+ mile perimeter!
GPS kit has solved this problem!!! The best part is that the gps works without cell coverage and that I'm able to view maps, real time tracks, and previous track history without any type of internet or phone reception. This is all shown using google satellite along with the property boundary.
This app is 100x better than any garmin product such as the Felix and Monterra. Garmin is great for recording tracks, but unfortunately their maps, resolution, and screen size make it close to impossible to view outside of a computer loaded with their base camp software. I need to know where I'm at and where I've been in the field not on my computer!
The only complaint that I have is that there is no option for different waypoint/ icon images, garmin even has this. The maps tend to get confusing with dozens of waypoints all looking the same. You don't know if it's a house, cave, waterfall, etc. It would also be nice if there was a way to resize waypoints as they can quickly engulf the map.
I've also tried mapmyhike which doesn't offer or do anything I need for my exploring needs.
I highly recommend gps kit!

Crashes. Lousy Support. Don’t Waste Your Money
I got this app to manage waypoints and track from my Garvin GPS. The app does import GPX files, but it will not let you create tracks. For that you need track editor. Then buying Track Editor I found it simply crashes on opening the GPX files from and email attachment and exported directly from the GPS Kit.
You can do cool stuff with your waypoints, if this think pix and Facebook and all that stuff is cool, but when it comes to basic mapping functions - as loaded with bells and whistles as this app “appears”, it will let you down.
Writing support I provided the device, OS, and version of this software with a list of the bugs I found in GPS Kit and Track Editor. After a few days they responded asking me for the device, OS, and version of their software I was using. (DUH!). Then they gave me a blurp on their features, never addressing the question that these features do not work or are crashing on the iPad.
Don’t waste you money on a pretty, but dysfunctional app, and also requirers you to buy additional apps that crash unless you want useless Support to help you out.

Unbelievable
Used the iPhone version for years and have loved it. I was excited to use this version for iPad now. It 100% doesn't do what it should. You can't download maps for offline use! Simply doesn't work. Absolutely unbelievable. I can't believe I spent another 15 bucks on this. It's straight up robbery.
