MAPS n TRAX is a VERSATILE and HIGHLY CUSTOMIZABLE offline map viewer, GPS track recording and WAYPOINT detail recorder.

* IMPORT AND VIEW YOUR OWN MAPS and GPS tracks on your device, and record tracks and detailed WAYPOINT notes.  MAPS n TRAX excels in rugged "off the grid" professional, academic, and recreational activity on land, sea or air!

* GREAT SUPPORT!  MAPS n TRAX is well-supported with a detailed online User Guide (http://rallyto.com/maps-n-trax/maps-n-trax-user-guide/) and responsive, personal email support. 

With MAPS n TRAX you can:
•	Import and view your favorite maps (see supported file formats below*). 
•	View your current GPS location on your imported map.  
•	Record GPS tracks.
•	Record waypoint details including photographs and field notes.
•	View maps and tracks superimposed on familiar online background maps.
•	Import GPS tracks from other sources or export your track records.
•	Easily store, organize and access multiple maps and track files.

Use MAPS n TRAX to view specialized map files, topographic maps, or digital map image files and gps tracks on your iOS device.  You can even import scanned paper maps or photos of maps!

Even when far beyond the reach of cellular data or WIFI networks, with MAPS n TRAX you can view your own downloaded maps and use the GPS navigational features of your iOS device.  

MAPS n TRAX has numerous professional applications.  Our customers use the app to support forest fire fighting operations; environmental and biological field research; search and rescue; petroleum and mining; real estate; geo-truthing; flying; sailing; and, academic research.  The off-the-grid functionality and waypoint recording features provide a powerful mobile toolset.

MAPS n TRAX is also ideal for a wide range of outdoor recreational including: bushwalking, hiking, trekking, bird watching, treasure hunting, prospecting, camping, bicycle touring, hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, dogsledding, 4-wheel drive off-road motoring, geocaching, orienteering, randonneuring, mountain biking, skiing (downhill, backcountry, Nordic), and squatching, among others.  

Many publicly available maps can be imported into MAPS n TRAX.  In addition the app is well suited for applications that require specialist maps with details that are customized or are not widely available, such as highly detailed topographic maps obtained from your government mapping authority or specialized maps produced with GIS tools.

Details:
• Converts and displays a wide range of map and image file types including * PNG, JPEG, TIFF, GIFF, ESRI Shapefiles, ESRI File Geodatabase and Open Street Map (PBF & XML) and geo-referenced image formats such as GeoTIFF.  (Note: .ozf2 & .ozfx3 files are NOT supported). See the User Guide for more information about working with these files.  
• Imports and exports tracks in GPX and KML formats.  
• Compatible with raster and vector map file types and projections used in commercial and open source Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software tools including ARCGIS and OpenStreetMaps.
• Automatically align geo-referenced image files or manually calibrate non-geo-referenced ones.
• Can display large maps and can join several consecutive large maps into a single huge map. The map size is limited only by the iPhone or iPad's storage capacity.
• Imported maps of different scales can be viewed simultaneously, adjacent to or overlapping each other.  
• Multiple tracks can be displayed on maps simultaneously and tracks with named waypoints can be searched like a directory or gazetteer.

We recommend that you review our website www.rocketsplashgames.com/mapsntrax/support/ and the online User Guide to be sure that MAPS n TRAX suits your requirements.  The User Guide section on Preparing Maps describes the process to prepare a plain image file for use as a location-calibrated and mobile-optimized map image.

Continued use of the GPS running in the background can dramatically reduce battery life on the iPhone or iPad.

### 1/5 — Map import not working

*2025-08-25, version 6.2.16*

Doesn’t work as expected, no possibility for a refund

### 1/5 — I want my money back.

*2020-07-20, version 6.2.16*

I load in maps and calibrate them and they are more than a mile off. When you put the extents of a map it should land exactly where it belong. jpg maps can be seen fine but when I bring in a GEo PDF, it puts a worthless background in with the PDF and you can’t see the topo lines on the map and all of the text, which is all you can see, is so pixelated you can barely read it. Very disappointed.

### 2/5 — Just ok

*2017-05-13, version 6.2.16*

I’ve been using this app for a few years now. Its not too bad but there is what I believe a serious flaw. Occasionally, when you start the app it will not locate your GPS position. If you are within cellular coverage and turn your data on it will immediately locate your position. If you are outside cellular coverage, bad luck it will not show your position. The trick is to turn on the app while you are in cellular coverage and leave it on. I have reported the problem to the developers who did respond that they would look into it which of course they have not. Why would they, they already have my money. The same problem has occurred on an IPhone 5, 6 and 7. Its not the phone and all the other GPS apps I have work fine. Don’t rely on it if you are outside cellular data coverage.

### 3/5 — App ok, support link broken

*2016-11-12, version 6.2.14*

I've used this app since it's previous incarnation (Bitmap). It is fantastic for importing your own geo-referenced maps. 
Only complaint is that the support page listed in the description is no longer available.

### 5/5 — Does it all - but Opaque Toolbars?

*2016-09-26, version 6.2.14*

What's with the new opaque black toolbars?   I know you were having some issue with iOS 10 compatibility (opaque white top toolbar) but this is the wrong solution!   Toolbars should not obscure the map. And it makes the translucent status bar (with map visible beneath) look a bit silly.  Come on... fix it properly!   Please.  :-)

This is the only app I could find that does both raster and vector maps as well as both online and offline maps, including custom online maps, not just the Apple or Google online maps.

### 4/5 — iOS10 bug

*2016-09-25, version 6.2.13*

The upper toolbar just appears as a white band in iOS 10, making it pot luck to try to select items. I reported this on 17 Sep 16, but have had no response as at 25 Sep

### 3/5 — 关于软件的一点建议

*2016-07-29*

我是中国的一位用户，在你们的软件还叫Bitmap的时候就在使用了，现在这款软件对比以前没有太大改进，而且现在的这款软件定位点有偏移，就是实际定位点和软件记录点会有偏移，希望能尽快改进。另就软件提几点建议：1、增加图片限制定位范围，也就是可以把图片设置一个范围框，当定位超出这个框就自动换到其他图片。2、建议改进记录当前点，让其记录更方便快捷。

### 5/5 — 👍👍👍

*2016-06-20*

Please do Russian language

### 5/5 — Ок!

*2016-03-29*

Хорошая программа т.к можно очень просто загрузить " бумажные карты" . Очень качественный спутниковый слой по которому можно проложить маршрут и далее его импортировать в любой gps. Глюков за все время использования не замечал.

### 5/5 — very useful

*2016-02-21, version 6.2.12*

Has some quirks, but by far the best ipad GIS program we have found so far. Allows direct upload of .shp files and georef'd rasters, plus export of wypts and tracks. We use it regularly during our field work. Good support.
