Scenic Map Grand Canyon Reviews

Huh?

Really not very useful. A lot of space for little benefit. Also it boasts no need for Internet, but, it would be better to use other tools for research and map use of these areas. This simply gives very little for the space it takes.. Sorry.

Sad

Terrible UI, non-responsive interface... Too bad, because apps like this could be very cool. Yes, it works, but it's very poorly done.

Very cool

I like it. Alot of attention went into the details. Unfortunatley the iPhone screen is so small it's hard to appreciate the true potential of this app. I've been to the canyon and 3g isn't an option so loading could be an issue. But all things considered, including the price (FREE), it's a nice app.

Apps like this are why I love my iPad

For hikers and campers, I can't imagine how it could get better than this. It's a massive, extremely detailed map, crammed into your iPad! I suspect that whatever people were complaining about before, is long gone now. Because the whole Scenic Map series has been very responsive on my iPad. This is absolutely a game changer. It's very fast, very responsive, and has a clean, simple interface. The clutter-free UI is vital when you're carrying a heavy backpack, and you're in unfamiliar territory. The fact that it's completely self-contained makes this a million times better for actual campers than any server side app could ever be. I can take these Scenic Map apps with me, and I've got a permanent, complete map of every place I could possibly want to stop at, right there on my iPad, even if I can't get a cell phone signal (or much less find a wi-fi hotspot). Now if the idea of a hiking destination that doesn't have 3G coverage sounds uncivilized to you, this might not be the app for you. And you should probably stay inside the city limits, where it's safe. This is the first decent replacement for a map I've seen on the platform, and it works great. Very fast. Very easy. Very responsive. I have no problem recommending this to everyone. It's a no-brainer for anyone who spends any amount of time outside. And this one's free! But even for the others, even at $10 a pop, they're a hell of a lot better deal than any of the paper and plastic maps I've bought in the last ten years. Great job, GrangerFX!

Limited use

Next time I go back there I need to have the shuttle routes and schedules serving the various lookouts, and why not also thumbnail images/video clips so people can decide whether or not to stop there or hurry to the eastern side of GRAND CANYON or perhaps get something to eat...now that's the app i'll keep

I tried out this App, and within days had purchased the full Eastern version. See my extended comments there. Get the one for where you live.

This is one of the most fantastic topo map programs I've ever used, and it is on my cellphone. If I only had this 40 years ago when I started backpacking. Roll Tide Roll!

Disappointed

The maps are virtually useless: 1- the text used is far too large and does more to obstruct the view than it does to help. 2- all the text is oriented horizontally and oversized leaving you to guess at which text goes with which street. 3- The "buildings" shown on the maps are little more than sat view outlines with no reference or naming for parks, malls, etc. 4- The paid versions offer no benefit over the free maps so download the free first, If those serve your purpose, you may be ok with the substantially overpriced paid versions of this app. DISAPPOINTED

Worthless as it stands with bad maps in limited areas with poor lettering and lousy graphics and repeated ad-cluttered pitches to upgrade, What's not to like??? Sometimes I think app developers are geniuses and sometimes, like these guys, are just either incompetent or con artists. Don't even give them the dignity if your click on. Sorry I did.

Better than trying to fold those gas station maps back up to fit in the glove compartment

To answer Mark's question, it's 256Mb. Suggest you check your internet connection. Took me about 3 minutes to download and 1 minute to install. After playing with this for a while I'm sure there is more here than most people would ever use. Even on a trip to the Grand Canyon this would give you enough info to make your trip way more enjoyable. All the places that people never get to. Hell, I'm going this spring. See ya there.
