Brilliant

Take time to learn even the basics and you will be very happy with this app. Just had a week on Stewart Island and it performed flawlessly.

BEST APP FOR THE NZ BUSH

Excellent navigation tool set. Comprehensive yet simple to use. Nothing else comes close.

Sharing GPX files

Unable to share GPX or KML files to iPhone 13 ,constantly getting error codes

Great app

This has replaced my GPS. Nice app. Thanks.

Good

Great app but need an account so if phone is lost or reset you don’t loose all your way points an tracks

worth the money

done a few walks now and this app is really worth the money for doc walks and huts. finding your location on the offline map works well without cell coverage.

Amazing app

Cost effective . Thank you for a such a good app. Which works offline too . I cannot imagine my solo backcountry hike without it.

Fantastic trusted partner for years

I love the recent improvements made to the app but have simply enjoyed it since my first use ~5 years ago! It’s been my primary source of navigation in the hills since downloading and it simply does what’s required.

Terrible update

This app was the best thing for hunting and tracking now since the update it Berly works, made it far to complicated with layers the doc hits stand out way to big and it’s harder to search for places, why fix something that’s not broken

Best Maps App

This app is better and more accurate than an expensive Garmin gps. Everything a backcountry hunter needs.

Hunting area overlay needs fixing

Was a great app until the new update, hate the fact that the hunting area overlay is no longer accurate, missing large portions of available DOC land. PLEASE FIX THIS. Cheers

What have you done!

I bought this app a couple of years ago and it was great. It’s now been updated and I can no longer get doc open hunting areas (or parcel roads),which renders it useless. If it doesn’t need fixing then don’t mess with it. Don’t waste money with the current version.

New update

The new update is really bad

Helpful app

This app Helped me when I really needed when Google did not help.

Incredible

I can’t believe it’s so cheap to have topo maps of the whole island! Lovely routemaking tools too

Perfect for this fisherman

I love the offline ability of the app. Once on the river the distance measurement is good for figuring out distance back to the car. The continuous improvement is also very reassuring for long term use. The compass orientation modes are very helpful when in the bush looking for river access points. I could go on, I use it exclusively. I reckon a small charge for this quality product would be well worth it.

Not happy with upgrade

Loved the old version. This upgrade is terrible.

Amazing App!

Definitely saved me so many times when I’ve been close to being lost. Tracks you without service. It’s very detailed and has all the trails!

Love this app

It has everything you need for outdoor recreation.
The one feature I would like is the ability to show the names of multiple saved waypoints on screen. This could be a user selected on/off feature to reduce screen clutter.
You can display a single waypoint name and info by tapping it. But the ability to have a named series of waypoints on screen would be an advantage.

Excellent!

I used it for navigating a number of different tracks and it worked flawlessly. Also, the search feature is handy for exploring areas.
