Amazing app with even more amazing support

Honestly I wish every app had the level of support behind it that this one does. I wanted to buy it for my hikes in areas with no data service, and liked what this one had to offer. I still had some questions though before purchasing, so I emailed developer. Within a few hours, I had a reply answering my questions. I bought the app and I’m extremely pleased with how it operates. But I’m even more impressed with the support. Since then, I’ve emailed with more questions and get a reply back immediately. Thank you for setting the bar (actually going way beyond) of what should be expected from app developers. I will recommend this app and your other apps to everyone I know.

Great maps

I’ve been using USGS 7.5’ maps for the past two decades both for work and pleasure. This app has integrated the same data into a user friendly mobile database. A similar Topo app requires you to pay for the same detail that is free here as well as on the USGS website. Thank you for the hard work and detail you’ve put into this app. I haven’t had the chance to use this offline yet but I’ll be testing it out soon.

I like this but have a question

I use this app on my daily hikes and walks and I like keeping a visual record of my outings. My question is what the colors represent in the track graphics. I hike some pretty steep hills and while at first I thought the red-green color variation represented incline, it doesn’t seem to correlate, so now I’m thinking it represents horizontal speed. It would be nice to know. Otherwise this is the tracker that I’ve been waiting for. Thanks!

Thank you for the review! Just to clarify, the color coded tracks are based on elevation (higher elevation = green, lower elevation = red). I hope this helps and I hope you continue enjoying the app.

Pros: 1. Download a topo for a hike. 2. Once tracking is started, a satellite view is presented. 3. You can use tracking mode with satellite view to plan. I discovered this while reviewing a recent hike because there was an old logging road on the satellite view that was not on a topo or Google Earth. 4. Mileage is good.Cons: 1. I like the satellite view, but it hides the Topo map & thus the trails during a hike. Haven’t figured out how to surmount that.2. Unless you are in cell range, elevation gain is always way low. Even if you just took your lowest elevation and subtracted it from highest, Topo Maps would be low by at least 25%. 3. Thus far, I cannot find anyway to drop a waypoint or plan a track — e.g., usingTopo as a planning tool.That said, I love using it for planning & hiking new areas.
