Topo Maps+ Reviews

Hawaiʻi

Aloha Molokaʻi

Maikaʻi loa no ke aʻo ʻana i nā ahupuaʻa o ka ʻāina. (This is an awesome app to learn the traditional placenames of Hawaiʻi.)

I've been using this app for 4 years now. Hiking, travelling, hunting, and more recently for Search and Rescue. I've used this side-by-side with AllTrails, Gaia, and a handful of others and they all fall WAY short. Incredible interface. Great price. Fantastic customer support.

A map that simply works.

I use this mostly for finding interesting natural features for Photo + Video + Drone shots and this is exactly what I needed. ?

Don’t leave home without it!

Got the app, pointed my finger, pressed on the download and got crazy good information to go hunt treasure. I will not tell you where I am going......

Scale

Good product, would like to see a scale on the map, it’s hard to judge distances. Customer response is very good. I now have a scale on my maps. Thanks

This a great hiking app. So much to offer. The app has the most trails of any app. Lots of maps to choose from. USGS maps to Appalachian Trail Maps. You can plan hiking trips and see what kind of elevation you will encounter. Later this year I will be going to New Mexico so I downloaded the Benchmark Maps which will be great use to me. If you take photos while your hiking they will appear on the trail. It even shows you what direction you took the picture. Finally great support from the designers of the app. They helped me a lot. I highly recommend this app.

Love This App!!

Planned more hikes than we had days for in Rocky Mountain National Park for the second week of June not knowing exactly what kind of snow we'd find on the trails. Topo Maps+ was a blessing when the snow obliterated the trails. In addition, the Progress on Trail function is amazing fo those long hikes. It lets you know where you are and how much longer you have to go to the next waypoint or till the end. Furthermore,the manager, Danny Scott, is a treasure. I love the emails with tips and suggestions and when I had a question about a particular feature he was on it right away. Thank you for an App that works and continues to grow and develop. Cheers!!

Great App but needs improvement

I have been using Topo maps+ for couple of years for backpacking and it works well in the backcountry. However, plotting routes is a pain. First of all, I don’t like the fact that it doesn’t have desk top application that can be used to plot routes and then import to the app. Also, the app doesn’t work well on the iPad - it’s super slow. Search function is not that great. When I am planning a hike and want to enter a search criteria to go to that map section, it doesn’t always take me to where I want to go means there are still a lot of places that are not entered? Also, when I plot a route using existing trails, cursor just stops if there is even a little gap in the trail on the map. Then I have to start a new route and then connect both later on which is a pain. I know I can use the freehand but freehand is not that accurate on mileages. I prefer using existing routes.

Disappointing purchase

)(*&!@#$^%

I purchased the map pass subscription, downloaded the app on my iPhone, iPad, and MacBook strictly for the high resolution maps. The app delivers on the iOS devices but when you open it on a MacOS device you are told that you have to upgrade to the Pro version (another $50/yr) to get the higher resolution maps that you are looking at on your iOS device and have already paid for. Ripoff!!! Having used multiple GPS and mapping programs, I would recommend people skip Topo Maps and purchase a subscription to Gaia Pro,($40 instead of the $30 for map pass + $50 for the Pro version of Topo Maps to run on MacOS), which gives you everything Topo Maps Pro gives you including syncing data across all devices.
