Know the terrain before you leave the road. Lokimaps brings official topographic maps of Finland, Sweden, Norway and Spain to your iPhone and iPad, along with worldwide outdoor mapping, and lets you download them for the places where mobile coverage ends. Plan a route at home, save the area to your device, then follow your line and record the trip. Whether you hike, hunt, fish, paddle, ski or cycle, Lokimaps is made for people who like to read the map and make their own plan. PLAN YOUR OWN ROUTE Draw a route, drag its waypoints and check the distance before you set out. Measure distances, bearings and areas on the map, then save the plan or start navigating straight from the planner. With PRO and a connection, Lokimaps can also calculate walking, cycling or driving routes along trails and roads. TAKE IT OFFLINE Download your trip area before you go. Without mobile data, you still see your GPS position, follow saved routes and tracks, head for saved places and record your journey. FIND YOUR WAY THERE AND BACK Follow a planned route or imported GPX track, or get direct guidance to a saved place like your car or camp. See the distance remaining, get an alert if you leave the route and reverse it for the trip back. On supported devices, a Live Activity shows navigation progress on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. REMEMBER WHERE YOU'VE BEEN Record GPS tracks and review trip statistics. Save campsites, fishing spots and other places worth returning to, then organize places, routes and tracks into folders. Import and export GPX, and turn on iCloud sync to keep saved items on your devices signed in to the same Apple Account. FIELD TOOLS Search places, addresses and coordinates in all supported formats. Display and copy WGS84 coordinates and use degrees without PRO. PRO adds grid coordinates such as UTM and MGRS, plus NATO mils and Finnish piiru. Adjust GPS accuracy to balance precision and battery life. INCLUDED WITHOUT PRO Pick one main outdoor map during setup: Finland, Sweden, Norway, Spain or Worldwide. Without a subscription you also get: - Offline downloads of your chosen map - GPS track recording - Following saved routes and GPX tracks, plus direct guidance to saved places - GPX import and export - Saved places, routes and tracks in folders, with optional iCloud sync LOKIMAPS PRO PRO opens the full map collection and specialist tools: - Every main map, with compatible country maps combined so you can cross borders without switching - Finnish aerial imagery, property boundaries and historic maps, plus Finnish and Norwegian nautical charts - Registered Norwegian hiking trails with available difficulty, surface and marking details - Image layers: photograph or scan a paper map, match four landmarks and use it offline - Calculated walking, cycling and driving routes - Compatible WMS/WMTS maps and WFS layers, plus Layer AI to help find public map sources - Oma riista hunting areas offline in Finland - Start group location sharing, protected by end-to-end encryption. Your position updates in the background while you record a track. PRO is an optional auto-renewable subscription with monthly and yearly plans. Manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings. Good to know: online search, route calculation and location sharing need a connection. Apple road and satellite maps, historic maps and custom map sources can't be downloaded for offline use. Image layers stay on the device where you add them. Map and layer coverage varies by source. Nautical charts are for reference, not navigation. Background GPS use can reduce battery life. Pick your map, save your area and plan your next trip. Privacy Policy: https://www.lokimaps.com/privacy Terms of Use: https://www.lokimaps.com/terms

Now you can try all the maps free for seven days (except Swedish nautical charts for three days)! Mapitare is the first offline mapping software on the market that can be downloaded at once and is designed for critical work and demanding conditions on land, water and air. The Mapitare terrain and sea mapping software is useful for outdoor enthusiasts, hikers, hunters, boaters and anyone who spends time outdoors. The digital map displays real-time location on a map. The risk of getting lost in mountainous terrain is the greatest when visibility weakens, and even an experienced hiker can lose his or her sense of direction on easy forested land. A ball indicating your position on the map will guide you back to the right path. The map on your phone screen is especially useful in bad weather, when the risk of getting lost is the greatest. The unique Mapitare terrain and sea map does not require a telephone or electricity networks to function. All of the map data has been downloaded into the memory of the phone. Offline maps are suitable for critical work and function quickly and precisely in all conditions and everywhere within the map’s area. Therefore, weak telephone and data connections do not have any effect on the use of the Mapitare map. They can be used even after the telephone network has already faded. The operator is responsible for ensuring adequate battery life, and if necessary, should back it up with a power bank or backup battery. In its entirety the data covers all of the land and sea areas of Finland, Sweden and Norway. In future the map data will expand even further.
