## What is OkMap Mobile?

OkMap Mobile is easy to use and its features are similar to those of the most popular GPS handhelds.
Plan your routes on the map! OkMap calculates the height differences and travel times for you and produces statistics and graphics.
A compass shows you the direction and you will be warned if you are going off course.
OkMap is specially designed for those who do outdoor activities such as search and rescue, hiking, mountain biking, off road, boating, flying, hunting and fishing, mushroom hunting, geocaching, soft air and much more.
OkMap works with different online maps and offline custom maps in MbTiles format.
You can use your favorite digital maps both acquired and scanned!
Furthermore OkMap works with GPX files, the standard format for storing waypoints, tracks and routes.
These files can be copied to and from the PC via cable or via Google Drive.
You can record the track while walking on a trail and/or follow a previously recorded or created track.
All waypoints, tracks and routes are displayed on the map; the recording track is drawn in real time.
OkMap records the tracks even in standby and with the app closed. A notification alerts you when the GPS is working.
You can create and edit waypoints, tracks and routes directly on the map.
It is also possible to produce different types of statistics and graphs on your own tracks.
Finally, an augmented reality function displays all waypoints with altitude in the device's camera.

### 1/5 — Can’t get it to work

*2020-01-01, version 3.3*

I downloaded this for the purpose of using my KMZ maps I created for hiking trails. The app crashes every time I try to import a KMZ file.

**Developer response:** Please send one of your KMZ map to info@okmap.org.
May be some issue in the format.
Alternatively you can use OkMap Desktop to produce your KMZ maps.
Remember that maps must be north oriented.

### 5/5 — Very good Trail GPS app.

*2019-02-23*

This app is the best app I found to replace my dedicated trail GPS device. It can record and show your track, permit to define way points, ...
It also supports custom off line map in .KMZ format, .GPX tracks and way points files and the support is personalized and awesome. It also of course support online map servers like google, apple and many others.

### 4/5 — Love the app

*2019-02-06, version 3.2*

Very useful. 

Can import GPX files and render them on arial views such as google maps’ satellite view. 

Changing from   Metrox  as opportunities arise

### 5/5 — Excellent GPS app

*2018-11-22*

This application allows almost everything one can do with a standard handheld GPS, without having to buy maps. It is the best and most complete I have found.

### 5/5 — Best GPS app for trail and custom maps.

*2016-12-17*

This app is versatile and have a very GPS like interface. It supports custom maps and track. The support is outstanding.

### 1/5 — Not useful for off-road use till maps are fixed

*2016-07-10, version 2.5*

It seems to have lots of interesting features but I'm disappointed to find that I can't zoom into any map with topographic information enough to see any useful detail. Even the USGS Topo doesn't work. 

For those whose travels are confined to streets and roads, this app might be useful but for me, off-road travel is essential making this was a wasted purchase. 

Hopefully, the developers are working on a fix.

**Developer response:** Some WMS maps are zoom limited in their free version.
