Leave a Review Topo Maps+
Excellent app for hiking in the Canadian Rockies
I have been using this app for a number of years for all my hiking and back country adventures. It is simply the best with great support. The ability to work with Canadian Topo Maps and import our local trails is a major feature.1cdm

App support and developer are fantastic!
I switched over to this app as an alternative to one I didn’t feel was worth paying for anymore. Happy to report that it’s been great so far and I don’t miss the old one. I wanted to import tracks I had recorded previously and found that some had gotten split up in the process. I replied to one of many informational emails the developer sends out and received a reply within an hour! A solution was found the next day and I was notified an update would be sent out within a week. It came out the day after (so two days after I had emailed them) and Stephen (founder) was kind enough to notify me. It worked! All my tracks imported correctly.
Customer service is 10/10. Since I’ve downloaded the app there have been several updates which to me is a good sign that the developer is always working to improve their product. Happy that I could contribute to one and hopefully it helped someone else with the same issue. Looking forward to continuing to see this app grow. It has become a valuable tool for me on all my hikes so far.Show lessSlayingEnnui
Some hiccups
First off, I have been using this app since 2017 or earlier, most for hiking in remote mountains. I started with the free version and I likes it enough to have upgraded to pro version after a few months.
Overall, I love the app, it's easy to use, the high def map is very clear; overall the routes are accurate... very far and between, the tracking would act weirdly-- instead of the actual path, it would be a straight line between two points. This doesn't happen often, but when it does, it's very frustrating.
This used to be my only complain.
However, this year, I have noticed the map has not run as smoothly as it used , it opens a lot slower and keeps on showing the message that I was attempting to view a section that was not downloaded despite the opposite. Also, the mileage has been on average much more than my other tracking devices ( Garmin watch/ apple watch/ garmin inreach)and apps( Allatrails / Gaia GPS) .
These two problems have been really frustrating, especially the map viewing glitches. Tried to find solutions on their website but in vain! Not sure if other people have experienced the same issues and what is the remedy! Otherwise, this is a nice app.Show lessdudelilo
Super App and Outstanding Customer Service
This has been my go to app for several years. It has everything I need. Access to maps of all kinds, the ability to download for offline use, to track and trace your hike in all sorts of different ways. The user interface is very intuitive and the app has always been completely reliable. I use it primarily for hiking but also for running, biking, and even documenting sightseeing walks or drives when I travel. One of the things I like to do is to upload my hikes or travels to my computer which is easy to do, plus you can go the other direction and upload gpx or kml tracks into the app. It also gives you the opportunity for land ownership maps if you want to subscribe to it which I have found very useful. I love it!
I am writing this review now because recently I had troubles with uploading some files to my computer and I sent them an email about it, figuring I would have to wait weeks or maybe longer. Instead I went out for a bike ride and when I got back, I had an email from them diagnosing the problem, fixing it, and even giving me a workaround for old files! That's the best customer service I have seen in years! So you can't go wrong with this app.Show lessWalkabout44
Excellent tools, user interface and Apple Watch needs work.
As a horseback rider and member of Back Country Horseman in my state, we rely on and use many systems to mark areas on trails for important reasons mostly for making them safe for the hikers.
Topo Maps+ has some excellent tools and features and training videos but they are in places that seem logical to find them and unless you take the time to really become an expert at using the app, those extra tools I rarely use. As for the Apple Ultra, it works great but the interface is confusing such as end a track, where’s the button? And I have all these tracks that are me on highways because I can’t shut the Watch app off of tracking even though I DID do it as per the tech support.
So until they fix the user interface for the Watch app, and also allow same on app such as being able to delete a track without having to go through 4-5 steps to get there, I will rate this app 4 stars.Show lessSuzidoer

Excellent customer service
Have to say the customer service is fantastic and personal. Had a query and got a response over the festive period.
Great trial option for those wanting to test before buying.
Highly recommended.Panther2030
How do I transfer my data to my new phone??
Been using the app for years, and it is flawless. phone reception or not - This app will take you places. With that being said, I upgraded to the iPhone 13 pro max today and this was literally the first app I downloaded. I logged in, and it appears as though my years worth of trails and tagged spots have disappeared. I’d really like to get those back if anyone can shed any light on it for me! Thanks for reading.Show lessJNB1996
Satellite GPS Services Didn’t Work
Set up the app, had location shared, downloaded maps / routes and set off into mountain. Once out of cell service discovered the app wasn’t functioning as advertised, couldn’t pull my location at all. Completely worthless to have maps/routes downloaded as we couldn’t see where we were on there or if we were even on the route we had planned/downloaded.
Contacted customer support and provided a diagnostics report, which confirmed that location was shared with the app. Had to eat the cost of the app subscription but definitely wouldn’t recommend trusting this for your off-grid adventures.Show lessvegetables99
