Topo Maps for Android

Will score better when update fixes bug.

Used Topo maps on a 5 days wilderness trip. Cell phone was on airplane mode to preserve battery life. The Topo map app let me know exactly where I was every step of the way. Just download all the Topo maps you need ahead of time for free and then you are set.

I’ve used this app weekly since installing it in ‘13. It’s perfect! (Could be more perfect if it were updated for current hardware.) Don’t let this awesome app disappear. Please update it.

I absolutely love this app! It is seriously the best on the market. I use it for work everyday and would recommend it to anyone. You don’t need cell service once you have downloaded the maps you need. I live abroad and cannot find an app that matches the perfection that this one does. I hope someday soon there will be expansions for the app to include the UK and Europe! Any chance let me know thanks!!

I like almost everything about this app. Suggested improvement: 1) Allow downloads of satellite imagery in tiles. I have to use other apps for this, but I’d love the option to zoom in and auto switch from Topo to Sat imagery. It’s annoying on other apps you can download imagery, but you never know how much data is being overwritten in the cache memory of the app…so you never know if looking at a new area cause the other area to ‘zero out.’ Downloading tiles would ensure that anything downloaded remains downloaded in only the areas you want. 2) Allow line of sight calculator to add an up to 15% beyond calculation for more realistic propagation of radio waves. The line of sight tool is a fantastic for estimating UHF reception probability while using the direction and distance calculator. If there was a slider to add a yellow color cast to anything 1-15% beyond line of sight, this would assist in estimating UHF/VHF ground wave propagation/refraction fresnel effect of RF energy. 3) Add center point options for your location other than blue dot. All in all, great app…could be even better.
