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
Dobra aplikacja, która świetność ma już za sobą
Korzystam z niej od dwu lat. Jest dość wszechstronna, choć wymaga czasu do zapoznania się z poszczególnymi funkcjami. Poleciłbym ją z przyjemnością gdyby nie dwa problemy, o których niżej, a za które odejmuję po gwiazdce.
Po pierwsze, stałe korzystanie z GPS powoduje szybkie zużycie baterii. To przypadłość wielu aplikacji tego rodzaju, ale rozwiązuje się ją przez przełączenie na manualne pozyskiwanie sygnału, zamiast automatycznego. W GPS Kit nie znalazłem takiej opcji. Mały problem przy krótkich, parogodzinnych wycieczkach. Duży przy wielodniowych i dłuższych.
Po wtóre, świat idzie naprzód, podczas gdy rozwój tej aplikacji zatrzymał się z ostatnim uaktualnieniem w 2014 r.! Ostatnie wpisy na blogu ze strony Garafa są z 2013. To wskazuje, że ten projekt dobiegł końca, a jako 32 bitowy, może zostać ostatecznie wygaszony z przewidywaną aktualizacją iOS we wrześniu 2017.
Wniosek: o ile twórca nie zabierze się za projekt na nowo, trzeba się będzie rozejrzeć za zamiennikiem. Moim głównym kandydatem jest Gaia GPS i tylko wysoka cena powstrzymuje mnie przed przesiadką.
Annoying bug
This is a would be best GPS application but unfortunately it has one annoying bug that makes it unusable. On retina iPads it displays all maps magnified 2x for some reason. Developer support stubbornly declines to acknowledge the fact, so until it happens 2star is max, as that was an expensive app. And that has not been fixed in the latest update
