What's New in Topo Maps US

• See when you were there. Tap any point on a trail you recorded and the popup now shows the time you passed it, along with elapsed time since the start. The time also appears in the elevation panel as you scrub along the trail. • Trails you import from GPX files keep their timestamps, and exported GPX files include them.

Love it

I’ve been using this for years, for checking distances on runs, for tracking routes hiking so I don’t get turned around. I’m up in Maine with thousands of miles of ATV trails, I use it so I don’t get lost and to save favorite places and trips. A nice feature is to create a trail using the measuring tool and save that as a trail. Great for planning interesting hikes.

Downloads where are they?

Just can find the downloaded maps, are they in a folder somewhere? Thanks

Direct USGS Topo Map Access

If you want real topo maps beyond “terrain”, this app is the one you want; it’s built to be useful, not to make money for the author, and it shows in every feature. You get direct access to real and downloadable USGS topographical maps, with or without satellite imagery. It does lack some nice features other apps have, but I always find myself using this one instead because it works and provides direct access to the thing I actually want, the map. It’s simple, clear, and direct because it was written in the true spirit of the Internet, open information for all. The author made a very helpful tool and I thank them for it. Features: multiple map choices, map downloads for offline use, track recording, waypoint recording, on-the-fly measurement tools, and full data exporting including downloaded maps, all from a small, simple, cleanly coded, efficient, old school, useful app. Yay.

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.
