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.

Simple et Rapide
Je m’en sert pour planifier toutes mes sorties en plein air depuis plus de 5 ans… et aussi pour trouver des shortcut lorsque nécessaire. Un indispensable pour les geeks de plein air
Incredibly Useful
I used this app on the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route after another rider showed it to me. I found the app to be incredibly useful in planning each day’s ride with the distance and elevation data along with the route profile I had a good idea what I could take on each day. I still use the app and would recommend it to anyone who wants accurate information to plan and to use on the trail.

地図が綺麗で見やすい。
メインスマホと古いスマホ(ios6)で使ってます。
バージョンが新しい方はルートを作成できていいのですが、ダブルタップでズームインとズームアウトをする時、古いバージョン(ios6)みたいににどこでタップしても中心を軸にズームインとズームアウトをするようにできるともっと使いやすいと思う。
改善希望です。

The best
This app got me through a year and a half of motorcycling through Latin America. I was recommended it by a bicyclist on a similar trip, and now I recommend it to everyone I can!
