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. ## Frequently asked questions about Iphigénie | Offline Maps ### What does Iphigénie | Offline Maps do?
