설명

Download high resolution USGS topographical maps for offline GPS* use.

Topo Nomad is designed for road trips, camping, hiking, exploration and geographical history. Map images are accurately center aligned regardless of datum and placed on top of Apple's map kit for easy referencing and intuitive touch navigation.

This software utilizes the latest capabilities of IOS offering the highest performance with fast start up, map rotation, rendering and zoom with unbeatable details and undistorted resolution. Map downloads are dispatched in the background so you can continue using the app while new maps concurrently install.

Topo Nomad indexes of over 250,000+ U.S. Geological Survey current and historical topographic maps describing the topography of every region and island territories of the United States of America. Historical versions date as far back as year 1884. Install a map quad by pressing and holding a point on the reference map and discover the USGS historical maps available at that coordinate and the unique names given to every quad by the cartographers.**

The limits don't stop there with just USGS maps. Import "Geospatial PDF" maps from the web, iTunes and email. Many local and national park services offer PDF map downloads from their web sites which automatically install into the Topo Nomad app. And, if you reside outside the United States check with your government services for topographic and aeronautical sectional maps with embedded geospatial metadata.‡

Cannot find that map you downloaded but know where in the world it's located. Simply zoom out the reference map view and all the topo maps become a colorful violet and partially transparent so you can spot your map. Installed maps are managed in a table format which can be sorted by name, distance, and scale. Multiple versions of the same map can be stacked on top of one another and made visible or hidden using two finger swipes.

Planning a hike somewhere and want to know the distance of your jaunt. Download the map and use the dual mode ruler to measure the path distance and know the answer to "how much farther?"

Purchase a subscription for unlimited map downloading. A subscription stops ads and doesn't auto-renew. The first few map download are complementary.‡

Topo Nomad

Topo Nomad is a great app. Far better than many other apps like it. I have purchased copies for myself and the people in my company. I do forestry and fire management and this will be our go to map software. The only improvments it needs is the abilty to export gpx files through email (currently only able to do this through iTunes) and I wish it worked on other phones since not everyone has an iPhone. If it also had the ability to share peoples locations with a log in that would be amazing and I would pay additional for that feature.

Thank you for your feedback. Version 6.0 of Topo Nomad now has a new feature to send waypoints, tracks, and routes over email and SMS text messaging. The exported file is GPX format. Also, the track recording feature could be used to log a users GPS positions. The track recording also runs while not using the app. Adding a log note to the recording is done by adding a waypoint and putting notes in the waypoint. Tap the (i) info button on the waypoint callout and add notes in the text window. To add a waypoint to a track, do the following: 1) In the Route & Tracks menu, turn on Track Recording. 2) Select the current recording track to be displayed (red highlighted name). 3) Lock the map to your GPS position by tapping the location service arrow button so it is outlined solid green, indicating it is following your location. Pressing and holding the button for a second will do this too. Now while in this mode, GPS following your location and recording track displayed, 4) Add a waypoint and enter a note message in the new waypoint by tapping the (i) button on the callout. The new waypoint should be recorded into a newly created waypoint group named as the track name. The track waypoints should appear as green dots symbols instead of the default red pin. If they don't repeat steps 2 & 3 above. Note: the track waypoints may need to be exported as a separate waypoint GPX file as they are not embedded into track GPX file (as of version 6.0 of the app).

Great App for USGS Topo Maps

If you like using the classic USGS Topo maps, this app works very well. Many generations of these maps are available for very reasonable subscription prices. I’ve found that a lot of trails and information on these maps - like place names, peak names, benchmarks, etc - have been omitted from the modern digital Topo databases.

TOPO Nomad

TOPO Nomad works really well for me. I had trouble previously getting TOPO Nomad to track reliably with the Dual XGPS150A WiFi gps, now it works great. I could not be more pleased with the ease of use.
