MY GO-TO

This app is the best. I always carry paper maps, upload the GPXs to my watch, and gave satellite support, but this is hands down the best Topo graphic app. Simple, reliable, works offline. The interface is intuitive and never gets in the way of the task at hand. I recon this app for anyone serious about the outdoors.

Simply Great

I’m a person that likes the simplicity of this app. Free Topo maps with gps locationing. You can save and categorize pins, use GPS coordinates, and measure distances. No subscriptions and no nagging ads. Very handy. Needs no cell reception to work assuming you downloaded your map segments in advance. Would and have recommended.

Excellent for backcountry use

I've used this app in the Grand Canyon many times. It has been very handy, especially when getting GPX or KML trails from HikeArizona dot com. Has helped in choosing routes when the trail is vague. Love it.

Useless

Cannot zoom in to utilize trails

Amazing!

This app is pretty cool, I use it for when I fly my drone. You can measure distance very easy by just dragging your finger. This helps so I don’t go behind the range, plus it gives you altitudes. This is amazing for setting return to home altitudes so if I do loose signal it won’t crash into a mountain flying back. So not it’s typical use case but works great!
