I want my money back.

I load in maps and calibrate them and they are more than a mile off. When you put the extents of a map it should land exactly where it belong. jpg maps can be seen fine but when I bring in a GEo PDF, it puts a worthless background in with the PDF and you canโ€™t see the topo lines on the map and all of the text, which is all you can see, is so pixelated you can barely read it. Very disappointed.

Just ok

Iโ€™ve been using this app for a few years now. Its not too bad but there is what I believe a serious flaw. Occasionally, when you start the app it will not locate your GPS position. If you are within cellular coverage and turn your data on it will immediately locate your position. If you are outside cellular coverage, bad luck it will not show your position. The trick is to turn on the app while you are in cellular coverage and leave it on. I have reported the problem to the developers who did respond that they would look into it which of course they have not. Why would they, they already have my money. The same problem has occurred on an IPhone 5, 6 and 7. Its not the phone and all the other GPS apps I have work fine. Donโ€™t rely on it if you are outside cellular data coverage.

App ok, support link broken

I've used this app since it's previous incarnation (Bitmap). It is fantastic for importing your own geo-referenced maps.
Only complaint is that the support page listed in the description is no longer available.

Response from developer

Hi, The support pages are still there, they are just located here now: http://www.rocketsplashgames.com/mapsntrax/maps-n-trax-user-guide/index.html http://www.rocketsplashgames.com/mapsntrax/support/index.html Thanks for your support!

Does it all - but Opaque Toolbars?

What's with the new opaque black toolbars? I know you were having some issue with iOS 10 compatibility (opaque white top toolbar) but this is the wrong solution! Toolbars should not obscure the map. And it makes the translucent status bar (with map visible beneath) look a bit silly. Come on... fix it properly! Please. :-)

This is the only app I could find that does both raster and vector maps as well as both online and offline maps, including custom online maps, not just the Apple or Google online maps.

iOS10 bug

The upper toolbar just appears as a white band in iOS 10, making it pot luck to try to select items. I reported this on 17 Sep 16, but have had no response as at 25 Sep

very useful

Has some quirks, but by far the best ipad GIS program we have found so far. Allows direct upload of .shp files and georef'd rasters, plus export of wypts and tracks. We use it regularly during our field work. Good support.

Best apple raster map app

Best app for raster scanned maps, tools available to convert all maps to work on this app, best you can get for Apple

It does not work in China

Coordination of waypoints are different from those from Builtin Compass app and Garmin GPS. Something Is wrong with the app. Hope it can be addressed soon.

It's great when it works

This is a great app when it works. However I have had multiple issues with it crashing. At one point, it would crash whenever I would try to get it to display maps. After a installed the latest iOS, I could access my maps but now it kicks me off when I try to edit a new route or track. I have just uninstalled it and reinstalled and will see if that works. Annoying!

great.

Works great for what I need it for. I used it to import a map that I prepared using MAPC2MAPC app. Maps n Trax imported it like a dream. Havenโ€™t tried other uses as yet. Itโ€™s good to have my own custom map installed on my device.
