I use this more than OpenCPN for navigation as it allows me to save and use offline charts more intuitively (late 2025). Once Dave gets OpenCPN to function better maybe that will climb back up but for now this (pro version) is just the bar that needs to be beat. 4.7+/5 ☆
Reviews for US Topo Maps
Perfect, manual style map! Does everything you need without taking over your route for you.
This app represents the pinnacle of bureaucratic catch-22 nightmares. I am trying to determine the height of the crater walls of Kilauea summit caldera, at top and bottom of each wall, with the height changing along each wall every three feet. Data more recent than 2018 is restricted by the FBI or CIA or both. Yet the terrain changes daily. Want more recent data? "Use the app." App refuses to use current data. Complain about the app? "That's from LIDAR data." Then why isn't it in the ap
I bought this app many years ago and suddenly they want me to buy it again. I emailed asking them for clarification. never heard back. buyer beware. I enjoyed the app, except you couldn't create a track without keeping the app open in front of you. if my phone locked, the track would stop recording.
I paid for Pro but doesn't load on my phone. Great tools and options love topo maps except Pro features didn't appear on any devices and not user friendly. Upon further research I found I only paid $30 for an ad blocker. The only thing different is the Shapes category and zero tutorial of how to use it.
I've been a happy user of US Topo Maps since 2016 and have just upgraded to the latest version. It has everything that I use/need/want at an incredible price. Some of my favorite features are the GPX imports, easy route creation, lots of information about routes (for example elevation profiles) not to mention the ability to add maps such as Geo PDFs and Geotiffs. The developers are accesible and responsive. I couldn't be happier! Thanks Atlogis!
One big problem This is an excellent app for displaying a wide variety of different maps. One serious negative is that it won't let me zoom in enough to read the labels. I can momentarily pinch zoom in, but as soon as I let go it snaps back out so i can't read it again. Why? Seems like an arbitrary restriction that greatly reduces the usefulness of the program.
Amazing app for years! For those who want a stable offline or online map client for running, hiking, walk etc that can record tracks, this is perfect! For more advanced users, you can export the tracks (automatic or manual). I use Syncthing to automatically copy the tracks over to my laptop and server so I can do cool things like open up my recordings on QGIS. I'm thinking I should now contribute to OpenStreetMaps by uploading my trail recordings. Highly recommend purchasing.
I had the premium version of this several years ago. I have recently installed it again to find out that I no longer have that. If there is a reason behind that or maybe got lost within the several years of updates that were missed. Then that is my own fault. I'd rate it higher if it didn't want me to pay for the premium service again. Other than that it is a very useful application especially for military or any other kind of land navigation scenarios that you may use it for.
I purchased the full version and have been using this app for a few years now and am overall happy with its features. It is simple. It loads and operates quickly. I can save tracks. I can import gpx files from friends. It is mainly used in offline mode using previously downloaded ESRI aerial or topo maps which I find the most useful. Downsides, you Aren't allowed to download Bing or Google maps to your device but can use them when in cell range. It lacks historical satellite imagery.
