Awesome. Simple. Functional.
This app is great. It does everything I want: record a track, GPS, trail overlay, save old recordings, summary stats for a trek, download and save maps for use without cell connection… and all this with no ads or pop ups, or other distractions. No tie in with social media. Beautiful simple design. Easy to use.

Superb touring tool
Been using this on a multi month mixed terrain bike tour through Europe. It’s fantastic for daily and long distance touring. The workflow is super smooth once you get the hang of the UI and tricks. Only thing is I wish it was also offered on Android!
Easiest hiking route planner
My last app review was probably about 5 years ago, but, such is my experience with MapOut, that I am moved to profess its greatness to world.
Quick, detailed, on-the-fly route mapping for hiking, backpacking and trail running had alluded me until I found this app. After a short learning curve, creating routes is so much easier and quicker than any other option I’ve tried.
There are more detailed mapping apps out there, others that provide better turn-by-turn navigation, but nothing I’ve tried allows you to prototype, iterated and visualise routes as quickly as MapOut. “Drawing” tours is intuitive and the base map (seems to be derived from open street map) is thoughtfully designed.
The tour organisation is simple bit doesn’t feel lacking. Sharing routes with others via email feels basic but is ingeniously simple and works flawlessly.
Well worth the cost. I encourage all hikers, runners, trail runners and backpackers to use it.

Love this app
Does what it needs to do and isn’t overly complicated.
Not worth it
There are better maps. TopoGps and CalTopo.
