Leave a Review Topo Maps+
Love This App!!
Planned more hikes than we had days for in Rocky Mountain National Park for the second week of June not knowing exactly what kind of snow we'd find on the trails. Topo Maps+ was a blessing when the snow obliterated the trails. In addition, the Progress on Trail function is amazing fo those long hikes. It lets you know where you are and how much longer you have to go to the next waypoint or till the end.
Furthermore,the manager, Danny Scott, is a treasure. I love the emails with tips and suggestions and when I had a question about a particular feature he was on it right away.
Thank you for an App that works and continues to grow and develop. Cheers!!Show lessnorm&shannon
Love it
Certainly makes you feel more comfortable when both you and this great app point in the same direction. I opted for the plus version (not pro), yet now after using this app for 10 walks, am considering the bigger option. Highly recommendedhuliebyrne
Devs stopped caring about UX and only push pro/maps
Before the negatives I do have to say this is the best app for its purpose that I’ve tried. They’ve done a good job but I’m disheartened by the promo mail and lack of updates. I’m still using the app regularly.
There are numerous app problems I’ve had and features I’ve been missing going on like 2 years now. I have raised at least some of them more than once by email. The new UI is definitely on brand with Apple but the UX is a problem.
Stephen would always answer mail which I appreciate but never seems to act on improving the app.
Instead it’s a constant onslaught of emails pushing pro sales and new map packs. No doubt it’s impressive that he’s secured so many map providers, but I think improving the app itself is a hopeless idea at this point. I’m unsubscribing from their mail.
Are more map packs really what people need? How about updated OSM data? Or non-frustrating route planning features? More stats? Double click and drag zoom? Map call outs that don’t lock the map view? I can go on. Basic UXShow lesslakechfoma
Professional Use, Applicable Settings, Top Tier Service
I have used this application across a wide range of use from Military use in terrain evaluation and movement. To personal hikes to get to prominent locations. I have continued to be impressed by the quality of service from the Topo Maps+ team. I also am thankful for the commitment to Service members and their families.
They have so many great features from hunting use to national parks I have used Topo Maps+ in states ranging from Washington, Utah, Alabama, Florida, Idaho, Montana, Colorado, Wyoming, and Arizona I have tested and used this application. It has yet to fail me in any standard from up to date maps, inputting various coordinate systems, and navigate the land from both my mobile platform and from my Mac with trails and roads easily viewable.
I have used other apps but none that have my loyalty and use like Topo Maps+.
I have used this application for over a year and depend on it weekly in career and personal use. It’s worth your consideration.Show lessB.M.12
Developer Response
Thanks for the great review!Doesn’t cut it for serious back country
Ive tried and tried with this app.
Excessive battery use
Errors is renewing map passes
Tracking drop outs when it matters
Poor map coverage for places that are not the usa.
Basically if you are serious about safety in tracking back country in all conditions, try something else.adventuresofcaro
TopoMaps+ is simply the best
We spend over 75 days a year climbing mostly In places without cell service- i never leave the house without my SPOT, my Sat Phone, and TopoMaps+ downloaded... it is by far the best Topo map app there is. Great support and works flawlessly with downloaded maps in Airplane Mode when out of cell.
It has been a game changer for us in terms of hiking, back country running, hunting, climbing, skiing and every outdoor activity we do here in Idaho, across the West, and in elite Sky Running Races in Europe.
Get Pro version- you will not regret itShow lessLind In Idaho
Sharing
I shared this app to another co-worker because we both like to ride our mountain bikes and thought it would help in areas we weren’t familiar with. See this guy is an engineer and when he had an issue with flooding on our highway, dangerous to our travelers. They needed to know where the water was coming from and he remembered he had the topo map and it provided him with answers why the water was flowing towards the highway. Since then he also had his engineers down load the app also.Show lessTXDOT1
So convenient it’s ridiculous
I started using this app in Australia and I was sceptical about what I’d experience. I’ve been using it for almost a year now I’m really remote areas and I’m finding trails everywhere as soon as I hit regular hiking areas. I’ve also realised more recently that it has a whole bunch of features I didn’t notice at first like the ability to geo-tag photos and record trail progress. I now use it when I’m trailrunning to track elevation, speed and progress at the same time as checking I’m heading in the right direction. Naming and saving trails is also easy and quick. Just make sure you download all the maps of the area you are on your way to visit BEFORE you get there so that once you lose phone reception and the satellites kick in, you’ll have detailed maps for reference. 😉Show lessAgentcombat
My favorite app
I’ve never written a review before but this app has compelled me. It functions absolutely flawlessly from my phone with no need to sync with computers and all the headache that comes with a GPS unit. The maps have proved to be accurate and the ability to overlay the Topo and satellite is incredibly useful. When I’m out hiking I put the phone in the airplane mode. And only use about 30 to 40% of the battery in a entire day of hiking and navigation. With a small external battery pack in the same pocket of my backpack as my phone I can easily go for five days of navigating as long as I’m not continuing to room for cell service or playing games at night.Show lesscattawissa

Why can’t I have a perpetual licence? Why don’t you have a perpetual licence so I don’t have to pay every year to cache some maps?Mvyrmnd
