Apps like this are why I love my iPad – Scenic Map Grand Canyon Review

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!
