GPS Kit is a top-of-the-line GPS system for adventurers and professionals in the great outdoors.
GPS Kit HD takes full advantage of the larger screen to bring you an all-around completely immersive experience. The same powerful menus and tabs can now be shown at the same time as the map, giving you more context and information at all times.
**A note on iPad types: the 4G/LTE version of the iPad has excellent GPS reception, even without Internet connection. The wifi-only iPad does not use true GPS, so, while the app may still prove useful, it will not necessarily get an accurate location.
Designed for outdoor activities such as hiking, hunting, camping, GIS field collection, researching, skiing, cycling, geocaching, mountain biking, motorcycling, off-roading, fishing, and other romping in or out of the backcountry--anywhere in the world.

Ratings and Reviews
Used to good
Had this app a while. Early on it was pretty good, but as updates happened, it got buggy, to a point I’ve had to go to another app. No apparent support
Lost tracks
iOS7 updated my app automatically and now I have lost my track files :( Is there any way to get them back? I can’t seem to find a help link on the developer website either. 2 stars though because I am in love with the app
Awesome 4x4 app
This app just keeps getting better and better. I use this as my primary way of navigating when 4wding remote trails in Australia. The recent improvements to map caching makes it very easy to have maps available when in remote areas with no phone signal. Squawk is handy if your mates have the app as well as you can see where they are on the map. My missus likes to be able to see where I am with the location web sharing when I am away on a trip. I save all my tracks and email them to myself to catalogue in google earth or maps.
It would be good to see the developer integrate near maps in Australia if possible. The only other suggestion would be to have an option of a more traditional style inclinometer (like some of the dedicated inclinometer apps) on the dashboard. And a way to zero out the inclinometer angle if your iPad is mounted in the vehicle at an angle and also a way to set rollover limits and warnings. It would be good if there was a way to use gpskit on my iPhone to snap waypoint photos and send or sync them to gpskit on my iPad as it is impractical to use the iPad for that purpose.
