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.

Exactly what I need

I love this app. It combines open maps, snap to grid route planning and offline maps to make a perfect minimal mapping app for planning hikes.

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。

My favourite app

Can’t remember how I stumbled across this but it’s the best app purchase I’ve ever made. Has every feature I could need and without any adverts or subscription models.

Best offline map

I love this app for hiking and such, I just wish there was a dark mode.

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!

Intuitive, pretty and powerful app

I love that it takes one minute to draw a route and get the stats. I also love how easy it is to email a route directly into someone else’s map (ideal for friends). Best value purchase I think I’ve ever made, I’ve gotten hundreds of hours of use out of it. I mark adventures that are done in green, to-do in red, and at a glance I can see how much of the landscape I’ve explored.

MapOUT

Map out doesn’t drain the battery rapidly like other navigation programs awesome app

Best mapping app

I am so happy to have purchased this app. It is the most perfect hiking/biking mapping app i’ve found. No subscriptions. Great Offline support. It has everything you need and nothing you don’t.

Great app

This is just what I was looking for, planning scout hikes is so much easier and encourages the kids to use navigation on paper maps.

Eigentlich 5 Sterne…

… aber wieso hört man denn so gar nichts von den Entwicklern? Wird diese tolle App überhaupt noch weiterentwickelt und wird es irgendwann mal ein neues Update geben? Nicht dass sie nicht mehr funktionieren würde, ich nutze sie ständig, aber ich hab Bedenken dass es irgendwann vielleicht nicht mehr so ist. Gäbe es mal eine Reaktion oder einen kleinen Hinweis seitens der Entwickler, müsste man sich nicht ständig fragen ob man jetzt doch lieber parallel noch andere Apps und Services nutzt, um z. B. seine Tracks zu synchronisieren und auf allen Geräten verfügbar zu haben (Ich tue das schon seit einer Weile). Also liebe MapOut Devs, gebt doch mal ein Zeichen, dann würde ich auch sofort wieder die vollen fünf Sterne geben.

Response from developer

Für die kommende Version 4 haben wir grosse Teile der App auf neue Systemdienste umgeschrieben, damit die App auch auf zukünftigen Systemversionen noch läuft. Von der Nutzung her wird sich wenig ändern, aber unter der Haube ist sehr vieles neu – das hat uns entsprechend lange beschäftigt. Aktuell sind wir in der Testphase – wer die Beta-Version testen möchte, kann sich gerne bei uns melden.

Goto app

I love this app… it’s my goto route planning software as it is so intuitive to use. I mainly use it to plan bicycle routes and to some extent motorcycle routes. I would love to see a car/motorcycle route option that would keep me on the main roads rather than divert me on to side roads.

Thanks again for a great product.

Love this app

This is definitely the best app I have used for creating routes and following routes when walking or cycling.
Also I can import and export GPX files which many apps are restrictive.
I just love it.

Great app!

Great app for building hiking, biking or off-road motorcycle routes. Intuitive and easy to learn. Love it!
