Scenic Map Central USA for Android

I bought this app for Avalanche training in Rocky Mountain National Park. The 3d terrain was a great help. The compass was also very helpful for figuring out aspects of mountain faces. Topographical Map navigation was straight forward with the GPS enabled. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is route planning. It would be very good to be able to draw a route and get information on that route (slope, elevation gain, etc) There is a way to do some basic measurements using navigation and waypoints. In some of the computer based topographical map programs that I've used - you could draw with a mouse a route and it would generate a route profile.

First, I totally agree with the description listed by the seller. His preview screens show what you can expect, and the app does what he says it will do. Likes: Roads stay on map when zooming out, big plus Several preset views (5) Off line, great when your 50 miles from a cell tower Great detail, terrain, roads. I bought the Western US, I travel back roads in Utah, WY, and CO, Just bought Central US, more roads I travel often. Dislikes: Huge local file size, but worth the wait downloading if you need offline access. I've got the 64 Gb; 16 Gb users may not have the free space (plan on 4-5 Gb/area) Recommend to a friend: Yes Primary used on Mobile, may load on Android to try GPS functions Use: I have 7-8 other map apps, topo, GPS, Nav, etc, this map has smooth scrolling, fairly fast refresh (Mobile 3rd Gen), smooth terrain features, 3D feature is nice. Best feature is small dirt roads don't disappear when you need to zoom out. One giant download and you've got 1/3 of the US in your hands, well worth the price. This app makes paper Atlas obsolete 💯 I have not used this with or for GPS tracking, other reviews reported it works well in that arena.

Please update for retina display! It looks horrible on new Mobile ;(

Just wanted to let you know that Scenic Map absolutely destroys any other topo map! You should start posting on the 4x4 sites, as the maps are perfect for off roading. I have an FJ Cruiser and frequently make expeditions into New Mexico’s back country (Jemez, Gila National Forest, Cabezon Wilderness, etc) and did not feel that the topo maps that come with my Garmin 3790 are worth the $80 that Garmin charges for them. They also are not optimized for Garmin displays, so they look like crap and it’s hard to get the big picture of the terrain that your in. I was desperate to find a product that would give me a much more detailed view of the terrain, and BLAM!!! Scenic maps to the rescue. With these maps, I know can scout from the comfort of my couch, the routes that I’d like to make runs on. Basically, it’s a life saver due to the fact, that I know what lies ahead in terms of the ruggedness of the terrain. Please keep up your outstanding work! I am really looking forward to new versions/updates! This summer I’m planning a trip through the Gila National Forest, which will take us through over 150 miles of forest/fire roads, in the remote back country and I have never felt more confident in taking on anything that the back country has in store for me thanks to Scenic Map.
