Great App for USGS Topo Maps

If you like using the classic USGS Topo maps, this app works very well. Many generations of these maps are available for very reasonable subscription prices. I’ve found that a lot of trails and information on these maps - like place names, peak names, benchmarks, etc - have been omitted from the modern digital Topo databases.

TOPO Nomad

TOPO Nomad works really well for me. I had trouble previously getting TOPO Nomad to track reliably with the Dual XGPS150A WiFi gps, now it works great. I could not be more pleased with the ease of use.

Love transparent overlays

I love the ability to overlay usgs maps with satellite hybrid maps. Used to use Trimble outdoors for this; first real alternative I’ve found.

Topo Nomad

Topo Nomad is a great app. Far better than many other apps like it. I have purchased copies for myself and the people in my company. I do forestry and fire management and this will be our go to map software. The only improvments it needs is the abilty to export gpx files through email (currently only able to do this through iTunes) and I wish it worked on other phones since not everyone has an iPhone. If it also had the ability to share peoples locations with a log in that would be amazing and I would pay additional for that feature.

The best

I have wanted a app like this forever.i recently was given historic topo maps with coords to ancient native camps, burials and caves. I've been need a app that can be used offline and shared waypoints. I am using this app to find the sites to publish a book of photos w/I locations. Again thank you for the app and I will be donating and so should you.
