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.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. Version 6.0 of Topo Nomad now has a new feature to send waypoints, tracks, and routes over email and SMS text messaging. The exported file is GPX format. Also, the track recording feature could be used to log a users GPS positions. The track recording also runs while not using the app. Adding a log note to the recording is done by adding a waypoint and putting notes in the waypoint. Tap the (i) info button on the waypoint callout and add notes in the text window. To add a waypoint to a track, do the following: 1) In the Route & Tracks menu, turn on Track Recording. 2) Select the current recording track to be displayed (red highlighted name). 3) Lock the map to your GPS position by tapping the location service arrow button so it is outlined solid green, indicating it is following your location. Pressing and holding the button for a second will do this too. Now while in this mode, GPS following your location and recording track displayed, 4) Add a waypoint and enter a note message in the new waypoint by tapping the (i) button on the callout. The new waypoint should be recorded into a newly created waypoint group named as the track name. The track waypoints should appear as green dots symbols instead of the default red pin. If they don't repeat steps 2 & 3 above. Note: the track waypoints may need to be exported as a separate waypoint GPX file as they are not embedded into track GPX file (as of version 6.0 of the app).

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.

Amazing App!

This has got to be one of the most amazing apps I have found so far! Beyond amazing utility. By far the best hiking and outdoor awareness app I have seen / used. The fact that it runs on an iPhone usable is- amazing!if the maps can be kept reasonably up to date, it will be my constant companion in the out-and-about. This one I will donate to! Thanks!
I think about the only thing I could possibly add is that having a symbol key built in in the manual ( which is also - you guessed it - AMAZING!) might be useful to neophytes...

Good app

Simple no nonsense mapping tool. Features? Battery draining gimmicks? Flashy interface? Look elsewhere. Here u get the best terrain maps (USGS Quads) and a position. Done. And when it comes down to it, this is really all that's needed out there.

Amazing. Historical research as I never imagined it could be.

I search for lost, forgotten and abandoned cemeteries. I have spent hours pouring over old maps, comparing historical maps to existing maps and aerial/satellite images and have already made a huge discovery using this app.

Less than 10 miles from me, I found a cemetery noted on a 1916 map and on another map in 1922 but, after that, it is not shown on later maps.

Using the information I found using Topo Nomad, I drove out and found that the cemetery is, indeed, still there. It is severely neglected and, without this app, I never would have known it existed. It’s an exciting discovery as none of my colleagues were aware of it either.

I’m use this every day. Kudos to the developers!!

Edit: Update on November 25 seems to have improved speed. Thank you.

Request: Putting this here because I don’t see a way to contact developer directly (although it’s probably right in front of me). Are there plans to make this available on the Mac? It would be very handy to have it on my desktop.
