## What is Iphigénie | Offline Maps?

With more than 80 base maps and overlays, Iphigénie stands out as the benchmark mapping application.
Designed for hiking, trail running, long-distance trekking, Nordic walking, ski touring, snowshoeing, mountain biking, road cycling, and outdoor navigation in general, it brings together everything you need to explore with confidence.
Iphigénie is also committed to 1% for the Planet (1% of our annual revenue is donated to environmental organizations).

A wide selection of maps and overlays, available even offline
Iphigénie provides access to a broad range of maps: IGN France, IGN Spain, IGN Belgium, swisstopo, Italian Fraternali maps, Geo4Map, Lupo (Apennines), Geoportale Nazionale, OpenStreetMap, OpenTopoMap, BKG (Germany), Kartverket (Norway), Institut Cartogràfic de Catalunya, OpenSnowMap, Utagawa VTT, CyclOSM, as well as aeronautical ICAO charts, geological and mining maps, and glider flight charts.
You can also explore historical maps (19th-century État-Major maps, Paris 1906, Guyana 1780, satellite imagery from 1950–2005) to enrich your navigation references.
The app includes numerous overlays: land registry (cadastre), Petzl tracks, slope angle shading, hiking trails, satellite views and aerial imagery, detailed administrative boundaries (regions, departments, cantons, municipalities, EPCIs), National Forestry Office drone restriction zones, and more.
Most maps and overlays can be downloaded directly to your phone, allowing you to locate yourself and navigate even without an internet connection — including in remote areas. You can also print selected map sections.

The most precise HD satellite map of the Mont Blanc massif on the market
Explore the Mont Blanc massif with unmatched precision thanks to Iphigénie’s winter HD satellite map.
Specifically designed for ski touring, it provides a clear and detailed view of snow-covered terrain: glaciers, couloirs, relief features, and forested areas are visible with exceptional accuracy to help you better prepare your routes.
Downloadable for offline use. Additional mountain ranges will be available soon.

Tools to navigate with confidence
Create, import, and edit your routes. Geolocate yourself on the map background of your choice and add custom waypoints, such as trailheads, mushroom spots, or mountain huts.
Search easily for a place by name or GPS coordinates (feature available in France only).

Accurate activity tracking
Track your distances, elevation gain, speed, and estimated time of arrival. Use the 3D view and slope angle display to better understand the terrain.
Your position is tracked in real time via GPS, and your route is automatically recorded. The tracking feature also helps reassure your loved ones.
Organize and share your routes
Store your routes and waypoints in a secure space. Organize your data into groups and export or share your files in GPX format.
For added comfort, plan your outings from the web version on a larger screen.
With the “Italian Alps Maps” subscription, access high-quality mapping coverage for Italy.

Share your location with beacons
Beacons allow you to share your real-time position with loved ones — and see where they are too.
Especially useful during outdoor activities, they provide extra safety and peace of mind.

Committed to the planet
Iphigénie donates 1% of its annual revenue to 1% for the Planet to help protect the environment.

### 5/5 — Great !

*2026-05-21*

Excellent!! Use this regularly and super happy.

**Developer response:** Thanks you !

### 4/5 — Excellent application mais

*2026-05-06, version 14.4.1*

C’est vraiment une application complète assez datée côté interface mais cela n’est pas vraiment important. Il manque pour moi une fonction et ce serait 5 étoiles , c’est le fait d’avoir un mode always on pour que la carte reste toujours visible sur le téléphone. Oui c’est bien, permettre que la carte reste tout le temps affichée.

### 5/5 — Problème de fond de carte

*2026-04-12*

Si les fonds de carte n’apparaissent plus comme avant, c’est parce qu’il faut maintenant utiliser le menu hors ligne pour les télécharger. Tuto dispo en ligne. Merci pour votre réponse !

**Developer response:** Merci pour votre avis
Pour vos emprises, vérifiez bien que vous avez bien chargé les bons fonds et les bonnes échelles :)

### 4/5 — Problème fond de carte

*2026-04-09*

Très bonne application. 
Cependant, à l’issue des dernières MàJ, un problème de fond de carte que j’avais déjà relevé revient. Je m’explique : lorsque l’on zoom, en fonction de l’échelle, le fond de carte change pour laisser apparaître plus de détails. Le fond de carte qui apparaît aujourd’hui lorsque l’échelle est 1cm=167m, apparaissait avant lorsque l’échelle était 1cm=333m (fond « Cartes IGN »). Conséquence : pas de vision plus étendue de la carte avec détails. Il est possible de « shunter » le problème en mettant le fond « Cartes IGN TOPO 25 », mais à l’échelle 1cm=333m, les détails sont flous. Merci de d’avance pour votre aide.
Gaspard

**Developer response:** Bonjour
Vérifiez la résolution que vous utilisez ( Iphigénie / Réglages/ Affichage Carte) 

Chaque fond est bloqué à une échelle précise (IGN TOPO 25 est limitée à 1/12,5 par exemple)

### 5/5 — Invention géniale

*2025-12-19*

J’ai commencé à utiliser Iphigénie il y a plus de 4 ans maintenant. Sur les conseils d’une randonneuse d’environ 55 ans que j’ai croisé dans les Pyrénées.
C’est devenu maintenant un indispensable pour moi, le repère gps en temps réel me donne une assurance dans mes randonnées solo, les recherches fonctionnent plus ou moins bien suivant ce que l’on cherche.
Je l’utilise maintenant régulièrement en randos/balades/ running ou autre recherche de parcours.
J’en fait la pub auprès de proches qui n’ont pas trop le sens de l’orientation, ça peut grandement aider, avec précaution bien sûr.

**Developer response:** Merci beaucoup pour ce retour , on espère pouvoir vous accompagner encore de nombreuses années

### 4/5 — Bien, mais…

*2025-08-21, version 14.3.4*

Je l’utilise depuis bientôt 15 ans, mais je trouve dommage de ne pas pouvoir afficher les cartes quand il n’y a pas de réseau surtout pour le prix

### 4/5 — Téléchargement des cartes

*2025-08-10, version 14.3.4*

Les zones telechargeables tant qu’on a du réseau sont trop limitées et laissent peu de place à l’improvisation en cours de route.
Dommage.

### 5/5 — Great App for hiking and mountaineering

*2025-07-12*

I have used the app for many years. I subscribe to the French and Swiss maps and use them both for planning purposes and up in the mountains. Easy to use and saved me a few times lost in bad weather. Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Meilleur app carto

*2025-06-01, version 14.3.1*

Surtout grâce à la possibilité d enregistrer ses cartes hors ligne!

### 5/5 — Beste Karten für Frankreich

*2025-05-14*

Die App ist spitze und seit vielen Jahren in Frankreich das Non plus Ultra.
Die IGN Karten schlagen jede Konkurrenz.
Nur schade, dass es die APP nicht in deutscher Sprache gibt. Das hält viele ab.
