I love the new features when connecting with my CartoTracks account. The best one? All of my maps in the app when I get here! Simple tap to download right in the app and voila, my map I subscribed to. This is so much better than their old app. Looking forward to using it out in the places that I go. Topo Maps+ for the win! ### 2/5 — Stopped working *2026-08-03, version 10.2* Paid app stopped working on my google pixel phone. ### 5/5 — Works for me *2026-08-03, version 10.2* I’ve been using this app for several years, utilizing it mostly for hunting and fishing locations. I’ve been impressed by all the improvements they keep making and how well the information is delivered and explained. I’ve upgraded over the years and am very satisfied with all of the upgrades. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2026-07-21, version 10.2* I’ve used a few maps apps and I’ve found this one the be the best. I’ve used it on backpacking trips and local hikes. My favorite part so far is the clear map image with my location easily loading with downloaded maps in the backcountry. Super easy to use and super easy to customize. ### 4/5 — GIS nerdling paradise (but hell on earth if you're a battery) *2026-07-12, version 10.2* This is the kind of app that needs its own dedicated device. It needs all of your RAM and all of your processor, and all of your battery- but it's so customizable and feature rich it's indispensable for those who really get off the grid. It takes some getting used to the process flow and how to get it to show you what you want; but once you learn how to upload ArcGIS shape files, it's game over for any other off-road mapping app (every state has their own selection of map data you can import and overlay- like abandoned mines or trout-stocked rivers and lakes). My only advice to the developers is that they have a "Lite" toggle that turns off everything that kills the battery- maybe select a certain offline map area and set of features that stays in the cache/memory, and disable everything else, because you really can't hike or explore with this thing offline and expect your battery to last until you get back. It's such a great app, I love it with my whole heart, but please fix the battery tax- I need to hike with this thing with no power source, and it's impossible (your own icon shows a person hiking but you can't hike with this app without a massive solar array or a gang of battery packs)! ### 3/5 — It’s ok *2026-06-23, version 10.0.1* It’s ok to use. OnX seems to be better. ### 5/5 — Very accurate! *2026-06-16, version 10.0.1* Excellent app, well worth the investment ### 5/5 — Ongoing development & support is excellent *2026-06-11, version 10.0* Over the time I’ve used this app I remain impressed by everything from quick response bug fixes to ongoing development and improvements that keeps this app fresh and appealing as well as extremely useful and fun. I like it. Over the years I’ve used it, I’ve built a personal library of hiking trails and places I like to go to here in the white mountains and beyond. The ability to take a track and create a route and then join and manipulate routes from there is very useful. And much more… ### 5/5 — Fantastic and reasonably priced! *2026-06-10, version 10.0* I’ve used this app both on my iPad for planning, and on my phone in real time on multi day hikes. It’s kept me from being lost a dozen times! ### 5/5 — At least equal to gaia. *2026-06-09, version 10.0* Yesterday’s update with the much improved Glacier Hybrid Topo, has been long hoped for by me. I have been using Topo+ Elite for years here in BC travelling Forest Service Roads to the best fishing and backcountry camping. Thus far the best feature for me has been integration of Back Roads Map Book, however I had found the topographical detail underwhelming and had subscribed to Gaia for an app to app comparison. I found the cartography on Gaia to be superior notwithstanding errors found therein. Then Gaia dropped ESRI satellite imagery and I dropped Gaia sticking with a less than perfect Topo+. Now the very readable cartography in Glacier has arrived. Great colour scheme and overlays excellent high resolution imagery. Great work thanks. ## Frequently asked questions about Topo Maps+ ### What does Topo Maps+ do?
