Avenza features an array of functionality hooked up with a great interface that is intuitive. I love the ability to map locations and pin point navigation... very useful if backtracking. It’s great to have options to acquire maps that you only need. I have field test this whilst navigating bushland in Victoria, Australia. The scope to load google map views is really hand... like Ariel navigation without having to buy a plane. Also, refresh times are no issue. I prefer using this on my iPad and phone rather than my hand held navigator as screen features are a hundred time better... pinch to zoom, size etc. I’ll soon be trying the HEMI map feature because I am happy with Avenza.
Cleaner and easier to use than major competitors, but lacking a few key features
Why_the_Wifi
I run Avenza Maps to replace my previous collection of Memory Maps, Mud Maps and Billy Goat Maps. Avenza has the largest map store library of all of these and one of the nicest, cleanest interfaces. If you’ve never used a mapping app before, start here. If you have used them before, you’ll end up here. A few features that I’d love worked out, in rough order of how much they annoy me:1) When you’re looking at a map, how about an option to view other maps at cursor position? If I’m planning a trip so the cursor is not where my GPS position is, swapping between maps requires me to remember which maps I have that cover that spot, and loading a new map resets the cursor to its default position, not where I left it. This is annoying both when swapping from a small scale map to a large scale, or when following a trail off the border of one map and onto the border of the next. 2) When you’re viewing a map that’s part of a continguous collection and you scroll off the side, why not load the relevant map from that collection automatically?3) You can’t customise the GPS dashboard and, if you’re going to offer that as a feature, you really should be able to4) You can’t synch your library across multiple devices. Yes all your maps are listed as available downloads, but if I set up my phone with all the maps I need for a trip, I want my iPad to automatically (or with one tap) download the same maps. I have hundreds of gigabytes of maps, they don’t all fit on all devices. 5) In the map store, if you buy a bundle of maps (great feature to have btw), the individual maps within that bundle still appear for sale and the app will happily let you buy and download a duplicate copy. So far this has only stung me once (for $1.49) but it shouldn’t have stung me at all.

Thank you for your wonderful feedback and suggestions. For the first two points that you mention, you might be interested in our Collections feature which is a special type of folder that allows you to move between maps based on movement, zooming or swiping, so you don't need to remember which maps cover your area.If you can reach out to us via https://bit.ly/3dkAjFF we'd love to help you get your Collections set up, as well as get some more details about your other suggestions that so that we can get them filed with our development team!
Smooth and functional, even on my old iPhone

I used Avenza Maps to navigate through the APY Lands in Central Australia, which is basically not supported on Google or Apple maps. There is basically no mobile reception for hundreds of kms there. I downloaded most of the maps before my trip but even the one map I hadn’t came down quickly while i had a coffee at a roadhouse on the way. The maps are well marked and quite accurate and the gps location follows where you are even without mobile reception. Great app!!!
Great but room at add features

I got put onto Avenza by one of the Dfes team at a fire for help tracking our movements and location while on the fire ground. It’s great being able to get a map emailed to me and upload it and away we go. There are a few features I’d like to see (some might be there but unable to easily find), - the ability to rate maps in the Avenza store, I spent $5 on a map that really doesn’t have the details I wanted/needed but there isn’t any easy way to know, if someone had rated this I could know or rate it for others to be aware of. - an easy way to share your tracking lines, I tried to share/export my tracking to email for the next strike team to use to easily find where we had been and where they were going but we couldn’t figure this out, every time we emailed the line, it needed up being literally a picture of a line, and not the full line. -ability to convert coordinates in app or use different types of coordinates for dropping a pin or directions. I was given a destination point by a spotter plane but the type of coordinates I was given I couldn’t enter into Avenza. Cheers James
