Don’t pay! Charges for free data

Just download Cartograph Maps instead and load the WMTS layer direct from LINZ. The maps are free for private use.

Freezes doesn’t work

Paid for offline maps that won’t download it just crashes the app, also full of glitches when you zoom in it reverts to normal map not Topo,

Faulty for months

Previously a great app, but for the last few months it has been useless.
- DOC hut & campsite info missing despite toggle on.
- Can’t search for huts in the search bar.
- Topo turns into standard map view when zoomed in.

None of the issues resolved with IOS updates or deleting and reinstalling the app. Very disappointing.

Ok

Mostly good. Hard to figure out how to download sections for offline. If you zoom in at all the topo disappears

Goes good when it goes

Been unable to download maps for about a year now (an error was encountered while accessing the LINZ data service). Tried reinstalling without luck.
