Great app
This app is extremely well designed and executed. But beyond that, the support and ongoing communication and thought-leadership from the creators is outstanding.

Great App and Amazing Support
I love using this app for my outdoor adventures. No cell service required! I love being able to switch between different map views. I had a recent issue with the app and the developers worked with me and had a fix within days of first reporting the issue! Great app with amazing support!

Great new feature
I have been using the new version that includes a new map download feature. The new map download works great and makes it a simple procedure to load the maps you need for your next outing. I have been a Topo Maps+ user for a year and rely on it for all my hiking and ATV adventures. With the pro add on the app has all of the features that I require to organize my trips and create the maps with all the information I would require, to safely complete my adventure. Give it a try on your next trip

Great but...
Good app, but the “high res” maps for my area are the same as the low resolution maps.

1 start is far too much! Won’t allow downloading, even after buying paying for 3 months
2018-02-26
Bought the map pass but still no high resolution maps. Ripoff!
May have just wasted $20.99. Paid for 6 months map pass but when I try to download a high resolution map it tells me I need a map pass to do so. Not impressed!

Great maps and hopefully with long term support.
Have used many gps apps and have lost many gpx tracks from other apps that won’t update to the new IOS Systems for iPhones. It’s very frustrating. I hope that this app continues support for its users. On that note, I am extremely happy with the quality of maps even though I do not have the premium edition.

Pas vraiment en français
À savoir: J'ai téléchargé la version payante avant d'écrire cette critique pour m'assurer d'avoir accès au produit complet et je l'ai utilisée avec un iPhone 7 Plus, en Colombie Britannique (Canada) uniquement pour l'instant.
LES POINTS À AMÉLIORER:
* L'application se vente d'être en français mais 80% des informations sont uniquement en anglais (le manuel d'utilisation et tous les guides, entre autre).
* Autre problème plus grave: on ne retrouve pas les informations importantes normalement présentes sur les cartes topographiques (points d'eau, terrains de camping, chutes, rapides, refuges montagneux, helipads, etc.). Pour les habitués de la haute montagne, c'est donc une application inutile, la bonne vieille carte est mieux.
* La plupart des chemins hors-piste "routes" de montagne (sentiers non officiels) ne s'y retrouvent pas non plus. Même les très connus et anciens. Comme on trouve déjà une multitude d'informations sur les sentiers réguliers sur internet, je ne vois pas l'utilité de payer pour cette appli. La version gratuite serait suffisante.
LES BONS POINTS:
* La possibilité de cliquer sur un sentier particulier et voir apparaître les détails du sentier (nom, distance, relief), très utile pour la planification.
* Le fait que la carte tourne avec l'iPhone pour pointer dans la même direction. Ainsi si je m'oriente vers un pic, la carte pointera dans la même direction, génial (!) et très utile pour enseigner la topographie et l'orienteering aux enfants. Autre option utile: pouvoir afficher les anneaux de distance, pratique.
* malgré certaines critiques données ici, j'ai trouvé le temps de téléchargement très raisonnable pour la quantité d'informations reçue. 40 minutes environ pour télécharger quatre semaines de pistes de marche en montagne, c'est moins long que le temps nécessaire pour se rendre au magasin acheter les cartes topo. Peut-être les gens essaient-ils de télécharger TOUTES les cartes d'une région? Dans quel but si on ne s'y rend pas?
* L'accès aux cartes sans internet est essentiel et apprécié, ainsi que la possibilité d'imprimer les cartes.
À mon avis, cette appli ne vaut pas tout à fait son coût car ces informations sont déjà disponibles ailleurs mais elle offre un atout "gadget techno" intéressant pour les adeptes du plein air. Un abonnement à vie serait intéressant pour en faire une possibilité de cadeau à ceux qui ont déjà tout.

Not good
I gave it a good honest try because I really wanted to love it. The app though is very slow. I paid for the high resolution, waited well over 12 hours for 9 squares to download (tried different wifi, even off wifi) and then when I was out of service and needed them they suddenly were not downloaded. Also doesn't know very popular locations. Maybe more suited for the USA. Hopefully with time it'll improve but for now.

Love it.
Very easy to use. Many different options to make each map individual. I can also share by importing and exporting my maps to my husband. I'd like more icons and to be able to change the icon colours, but that doesn't detract from how great an app it is. I love that you can download your maps for off grid/ off line use later.

Starting out
This app is one of the cleanest, easiest to learn and use interfaces out there.
Easy to import and export to Google Earth kmz's.
Simple to record tracks and low Resolution maps are adequate for most activities, so little need to upgrade.

A MUST HAVE OUTDOORSMAN APP
I've been a grateful user, for a few years now👍 I continuously travel, play and explore, in "no cell reception" areas...with confidence, thanks to Topo Maps+. Not only can I see exactly where I am and need to go (thanks to the offline/airplane mode GPS)...but best of all, a person can set waypoints and record routes (to favourite fishing spots, campsites, points of interest..etc)!!!!!! In the city or wherever your curiosity takes you...Topo Maps+ will add to life's adventure 👍👍. Thank-You, Topo Maps+!!

Snowshoeing in Yellowstone
Made good use of the app to plan and track a recent snowshoeing trip in Yellowstone National Park. I now use it for ice fishing!

Hmmm...
Looks like it would be great, if it didn't take so long to load. Fix this problem & you'll have a stellar app on your hands.

Amazing
A really amazing app. It is astounding how many relatively unknown local trails are in its database. This app is made me take my phone into the backcountry.
2016-11-06
Love it!!
For actually getting out into the backcountry, this is an amazing app! I am only using the free version, but even that is serving the purpose amazingly well. It has pretty much every trail in our area and all the features I want in a trail app. Keep up the excellent work!!
2016-07-23
Outstanding
For an app it has some of the highest end features you would only see on a pc,and not all on one program. Great maps and easy to navigate. It's the only app I run now.
2016-07-17
Great app, but most recent release freezing
I've been using this app for all my hiking the past year, it's served me very well, has led to lots I new exploration and feeling more confident in my location.
The current update is constantly freezing... Would appreciate getting whatever bug there is worked out.

Waste of money
Dose not worth any money , I did pay for one year for height resolution and I can't see any thing all blurry,you can see in the google map much better and clear, just waste of money
2015-11-12
Simply Outstanding
I'm a landscape photographer and time lapse enthusiast. I work with three topographic maps apps, several star constellation apps, and The Photographers Ephemeris. I didn't like the idea of paying for maps at first, but man alive! It unlocks so much, the maps are by far the clearest I've worked with, period. I do hiking, so knowing distance by tracing, the elevation changes I'll have to do, or when I roam to with the ability to trace my own route? Brilliant! It's so legible, clean, and easy to use. Sometimes I go though narrow breaks in thick brush or fences that have fallen, this allows me to retrace and slip through the same passages. You can trace a route, download maps for that trace, you can see elevation by sliding through the trace, it's just astounding. When I went down to Mexico and Arizona, I precached my maps via airport wifi, and hotel wifi, and the moment I lost phone service, I had all my maps ready to go! And GPS location isn't relevant to phone service, so even abroad I have maps. Don't let the bad reviews sway you, the basic maps are great, but dropping 15 bucks gets you a dozen different type of topographic maps with different representations and different legends, and incredibly clear concise maps. Bravo!!

Great app
This is a great app and the maps are very accurate..
2015-07-10
Get the upgrade
If you plan to do any hiking or hunting, get the upgraded detailed maps. This is by far the best map app I have used.
2014-12-25
Great!
Excellent app, amazing for offline use. Great combination to Foreflight for VFR. Would be nice to download more than 20 tiles at a time though.
2014-01-16
Poor
Useless, only shows images from far out and then makes you pay them if you want to zoom in!
2013-11-04
Nah...don't waste your time
Skip this one... Loads very slow and not much detail on the map! Guess they want you to buy the full version
