Topo Maps+ at Mac App Store analyse

Dla mnie osobiście jest to najlepsza aplikacja z mapami outdoor. Jednak po wczorajszej aktualizacji bardzo się popsuła. Mapy rysują się bardzo powoli a cała aplikacja "muli". Mam nadzieje, że autorzy naprawią ten błąd.

Зря потратил деньги. Не видно старых дорог. Яндекс карты лучше. Не реклама. Может потом станут лучше

I use this app every day at work to navigate to and from the Transmission Power Lines in remote areas all over the Pacific Northwest. Superb functionality with simple data management and more than reasonable pricing come with the added luxury of superior customer service from the developers. Based on my experience of using Topo Maps + over the last year, this app is absolutely 5 stars.

This is a great app, don’t worry about the critical reviews and here is why. 1) With no in-app purchases (free) you get topo data for the entire USA. Yes it is low resolution, but, it is good enough for general browsing. If you are going to use the app for planning a hike or navigating on the hike you will want the hi-res maps, but, they are pretty cheap, see #2 2) In the in-app purchase are very reasonably priced because of two great ways that the developer handles in-app purchases (a) in-app purchases are not auto renewed, so, you don’t have to worry about forgetting you subscribed and racking up months worth of subscription fees you didn’t need. (b) everything you download you get to keep after your subscription ends. The way I look at it for $9.99, about $2 more than a *single* paper map, I can get all the maps in my area I ever wanted and then never subscribe again. But, let’s say I go to a new area of the county and I need some new maps, again I’d be paying $9.99, about $2 more than a single paper map, for multiple electronic maps. As you can see I’m a fan of the app, and I just purchased it a week ago. I hope that the developer continues to refine and improve this app. I have run into some minor bugs. a) When downloading maps sometimes the app will complete the download, but, not change the tile to the, “tap to delete” with red circle. To get the tile to update I have to tap the tile again. Thankfully on the second tap it seems to know that it already has the file and the “download” only seems to take about 2 seconds. b) I wish the sync would happen in the background automatically. c) I wish there was a way to hide map types I don’t use. d) I wish there was a may to edit and merge tracks. Sometimes I forgot to stop tracking.

Its difficult to know when pinch to zoom works, and the subscription-based model is poor. Subscriptions are also overly expensive when compared to other apps: another topo map (albeit with an equally poor interface) is just four dollars, and includes unlimited high resolution downloads without any subscription. Summary: none Ive found have a stellar interface, but there are much cheaper options out there.

If you are looking for a great app for hiking, this is it. It allows you to download maps digitally, and also will let your print them! This allows the app to be used even when you are offline. It just uses the iPhones built in GPS. It has hundreds of thousands of trails built in. If you have an iPad or an Apple Watch, it works great on those as well. I ran into an issue with importing a track, sent it to the developer, and it was fixed in the next release!

I absolutely love this app and highly recommend it! My brother and I were out on a backpacking trip in a place with no cell phone reception and the trail was covered in snow! This app was able to use GPS and topological maps to tell us exactly where the trail was at in an amazingly accurate way! It told us to walk 10 feet away and sure enough we soon found the trail. In the new version, distance and elevation are tracked even more accurately than before. And it was already quite accurate! This app rocks and I highly recommend it to any outdoors enthusiast!!
