Ratings and Reviews
Minimalist and works great!
Really happy with this app! Have just come back from hiking in the Australian Alps and needed an app which had offline capability and could import GPX files and used this the entire time and it made things very easy!
The Good:
- Minimalist design
- Uses very little battery (I have a useless iPhone 8 battery and on airplane mode it would only use ~10% over the course of the day.
- Loved the ease of the point to point distance tracker
The Bad:
- The 3D tilt perspective seems a bit redundant and looks warped and weird especially with the hill shading
- The GPX import feature is a touch awkward, if possible an ‘import’ button which lets you browse your phone for files, rather than navigating to the file first and opening it in Map Out may be easier
- As others have said I would love support for additional/ custom map tiles, the OSM tiles are good but often need to be very zoomed in to access relevant data
- I would love it if the notes against the waypoints I set would appear in the box when I select them
On the whole this app works very well at what it is designed to be: easy to use, minimalist design, functional and without all the bells and whistle and I would much rather pay upfront than suffer through in-app purchases and expensive monthly subscription fees.
Just great. So good. We are addicted
This is a fantastic app. We use it all the time. The drawing of tracks is so good. The share function is first rate especially the ability to share tours directly to other mapout users. At least 8 of our bushwalking group now use mapout. It's a shame that mapout isn't available on other platforms as it would surely become the default navigation tool.
Beyond that the only enhancement I would suggest is to enable a user to set different colours for individual tracks. This would. Be particularly beneficial when a user has a number of tracks that cross over each other.
Good app for getting a quick sense of the landscape
Nice looking hill shading, with decent graphics for quick identification of mountains, tracks and general geography. The hill shading is a bit too strong, so sometimes you zoom in to a feature only to find out it’s actually a pretty flat landscape (Australian here).
It would also be cool to see some expanded features in the future; Contours and cliff edges only appear at an extremely zoomed in view, it’d be useful to see those features at more zoomed out levels. On that note, a colour-based height overlay would be helpful, so we can quickly and easily see elevation without too much effort.
