Topographic Maps & Trails

I wanted to see a map of elevation in my local area, but this app is useless! I can see elevation lines but there seems to be no way to actually read the height. It could be that the numbers are extremely tiny, but there is also no way to zoom in because the map disappears when you zoom in too far.

Honestly I wish every app had the level of support behind it that this one does. I wanted to buy it for my hikes in areas with no data service, and liked what this one had to offer. I still had some questions though before purchasing, so I emailed developer. Within a few hours, I had a reply answering my questions. I bought the app and I’m extremely pleased with how it operates. But I’m even more impressed with the support. Since then, I’ve emailed with more questions and get a reply back immediately. Thank you for setting the bar (actually going way beyond) of what should be expected from app developers. I will recommend this app and your other apps to everyone I know.

The whole reason I downloaded this app was so I could see the topo map on my Apple Watch to not have to get out my phone at every turn. Shows time, distance and elevation gain. No map. No other stats. Very under developed for Apple Watch. Don’t use if you’re looking for a watch app.

At Yellowstone not one minute did we get to use this, worst 5$ I’ve ever spent

Love being able to go back and forth between USFS and USGS!

I thought I was getting the USGS earthquake app. Wish there would be some way to cancel this app.

Been using the App to track my hikes since 2019. Wanted to achieve 1,000 miles in a year but sadly lost approximately 200 miles when the App stopped tracking after about a mile. I depend upon accurately tracking my hikes to get donations for homeless and disabled veterans. Losing miles means losing donations.

I downloaded your Topo Maps app and took it out on a backpacking trip this weekend and I had some trouble. Hopefully you can answer some questions. 1. When I was planning my trip, I was looking at several wilderness areas to download maps for. But, I had a very hard time finding them on the map. It seemed to just show where I was. As I wouldn’t have service in the area I was headed to, that wouldn’t be helpful. How do I search for an area that is not near me without panning and scrolling around? 2. Do you plan on adding a feature to simply download the map for an area at maximum resolution? Hitting “Download” and then panning and zooming is extremely inconvenient for me and it’s very difficult to verify whether I have the map or not. What about downloading the topo and satellite view simultaneously. Why do I have to pan around for both and hope that I captured the area correctly? 3. When I was looking at the map while out in the wilderness, my location icon was always offscreen when I opened the app. I had to pan and zoom around to find it. Where is the button to simply go to my current location? Every map app has that. It seems to like snapping to my current location when I’m sitting on my couch, but unfortunately not when I’m on a trail. 4. How do I know which way I am facing? There is no compass function built in. This is pure insanity. The iPhone has a built-in compass...this is a PAID topographic map app! 5. How do I find my GPS coordinates? I can’t find them anywhere. 6. When jumping to the Tracker for my downloaded map, the map doesn’t load, even though I downloaded it. I also can’t see the view layer I chose in Map. Why? And why is this useless feature the first on in the tab menu? 7. Why does the app tell me my phone ran out of memory and it failed to save my tracked hike? How is that even possible? I’ve NEVER seen a message like that from an app in my 10 years as an iPhone user. 8. Can I please get a refund? Thanks!

This thing requires you to download everything, not waypoints, no route tracking. The Android version right out of download works, if you have cell coverage your map updates. If you are going to a spotty coverage area, you can download map to allow map to run much more smoothly.

does not zoom in far enough, does. or show enough details, does. it have a search feature
