Does not work, don’t buy maps
Was hopeful but disappointed
Dated, unreliable - borderline dangerous
Better to use openstreetmap derivates like CalTopo on your phone and buy the paper Tabacco maps.
Cumbersome to import tracks
Cumbersome to import and display GPX tracks. Requires connection to a Mac computer and using Finder to copy files into TabaccoMapp folder, then go into app to enable display. No built in import functionality. Only displays GPX track (TRKPT) files, does not show route (RTEPT) files.
Broken and confusing
Logging in with Apple ID results in «Communication error». UI is super confusing. I guess I’ll stick with paper maps.
Good but can be improved
I’ve just completed a 7-day hike in the Dolomites of Cortina d’Ampezzo using the app. Overall a really good experience, the maps are very detailed and clear. The app’s interface looks a bit dated, an area for improvement. The biggest issue was that the app logged out every 24 hours, imagine being stuck somewhere without a data connection and unable to load the maps.
