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.

Was an excellent app, but buggy and no updates

I bought this app three years ago and have used it a lot in the field. There are a lot of excellent qualities about it, and clearly some good original work done on it, but I have in three years never seen it updated. Lots could be done to iron out some bugs (e.g., lime green text on a light background in places), make it a tad more user friendly, and take advantage of multiple IOS changes since it was first designed. A real pity, as it was expensive when first bought it, and no effort being put in to keep it up to date on even a yearly basis.

Won't download maps for offline use

Sometimes, it won't download the map for offline use, sometimes it will but won't open it. For an expensive app, this is just so far from acceptable. Shocking. Avoid.

Some bugs to be worked out but good overall.

I have GPS Kit for my iPhone and it works brilliantly but this version for the iPad crashes when I try to download any maps. I have gone back to using the iPhone version on the iPad and it's OK although it suffers from the usual 2x screen ugliness in menus that most dual platform apps have. (the maps are OK though).

This will be a great app once the bugs are squashed.
