    This app is outstanding. The best map app I have…. Nothing else comes close.

    I got tired of paying 30-40 dollars a year for the big name trail apps just for the ability to download offline maps. MapOut is an awesome alternative to that, giving you basic topographic maps of anywhere with only the useful info. I used it to map a backpacking circuit in Glacier National Park and it’s worked awesome so far. I can’t speak for the record features because I only use it for mapping, but the tour planning features are useful and easy to use. Easy five stars.

  • Best app on my phone

    I have been using MapOut for years to track hikes and paddle trips. It helps me find alternate routes, track mileage, and keep track of where I’ve already been when exploring an area repeatedly. I love being able to use it offline without eating network or battery. The only tiny complaint is that if you’re somewhere very steep, like the Alps, it has a hard time holding a steady GPS perspective and then draws a zigzag, increasing your recorded mileage. But this is a tiny thing relative to overall great value without a subscription.

    This app seems to hit a load of points that are important to me - distance, elevation. It has a pretty cool 3d option to look at the terrain. It is relatively easy to use and I found it downloads the Maps I need relatively fast and big enough area that it is easy to nab the maps before going off the network. I am still slightly stumped when the app will be able to select a trail- it doesn’t seem to work unless one is currently on the trail, but that sometimes does seem to work either 🤷‍♂️ A few things I would like: Be able to enter some coordinates and go to that spot. And One thing that seems to be missing on all map apps- hiking - is a searchable database of places. This app is no different as far as I can tell. Like recently I wanted to get in the area of cutthroat pass and look at the hike- I know exactly where it is or I have to use some other app to find it and then come back to this app.

  • Could this be the best ever

    been using ride with GPS for 4 years , but so far this blows that away, and I haven’t seemed to scratch the surface of it’s intuitive interface. Thankyou

  • Brilliant!

    I think after 10 years of using iOS, this is the first app I have reviewed. I have several tools I use for navigating while hiking and biking, but there are several standout features of MapOut. First, offline maps are a must, and the OpenStreetMaps are pretty good, and include topography and many trails/paths in addition to roads. Second, .GPX import works very well, and routes are easily named and organized. Graphs for elevation of the route are clear. Third, the method of creating new routes is genius. Double clicking sets the start point, and then you drag over map features (roads, trails, etc) to draw the route. The app snaps the route to known features, but also allows for “off trail” routes. Very intuitive and fast. Finally, a feature that I have always wanted, is you can set a start end end point on a particular route, and it overlays mileage and elevation from that point. So, for example, on a multi-day trip you can set the day’s starting point and have all statistics begin at that point. Great work!

  • Really great offline features

    I purchased this because nothing else really worked well for areas where there is spotty cell reception. I do a lot of backcountry trail runs and typically use something like Strava or Google Maps in offline mode for general geolocation. Strava doesn’t work without a cell signal, and frequently tries to close the app that I’ve had open, at which point the route is gone is cell signal is unavailable. Google Maps offline is just not really very good at all, not detailed enough, though it does show your spot on a map. MapOut is 100% offline downloadable with detailed trails and extra abilities like creating routes beforehand. It is extreme reliable and is really a panacea for mapping with little cell signal. The maps are so detailed, sometimes I pull it up inside the city to find new trails or routes. It reminds me of those dedicated Garmin Explorer GPS devices. MapOut is very cool, and very worth the money.

  • Absolutely love MapOut

    Though my iPad plus protective case weighs a couple or pounds, MapOut is always in my backpack. The ability to zoom in down to a foot accuracy (it seems) makes it easy to avoid going down a wrong path. Accurate distance and elevation data during a hike is also great to have. I color code all my hikes by year to see when and where I did a hike on the map.

  • Great offline map

    I took a $5 chance on this app … what a payoff! I plan city walking tours for all of my travels. MapOut makes it easy to import those tours as gpx files. Offline maps work very well. It comes with maps of the entire world fir the “first several” zoom levels. As you zoom in more, you need to tell the app to download more maps tiles. I was afraid this would be cumbersome, especially if you wanted very detailed street level maps. But it’s very easy! I tend to stay zoomed out to the city level and then select the tile that encompasses the city … that will download all the zoomed in tiles for the city as well. I love how waypoints are clearly titled on the map. The elevation data is a nice touch … MapOut adds it if your gpx file did not contain it. Being able to draw a new route from within the app is also nice. I could go on, but you get the idea … I’m very happy with this purchase. I like it a lot better than the free maps.me app I was using for the same purpose. MapOut is much better suited for route planning and following. I don’t really have any gripes. But, I wonder why the app won’t import kml files … it will export to kml, just not import. Fortunately converting my existing kml files online is pretty easy.

    I purchased this app mainly for its feature of allowing me to draw routes (called tours). I find this indispensable when hiking in the wilderness. Before I depart, I will plan the route by drawing different tours. The app very helpfully places mile markers on my route and includes inclination information to help me decide. When I'm out in the wilderness without cell reception, I won't get lost at an unsigned junction because I can simply open the app and check my current location overlaid with the drawn tour. I used to just guess where I am on a map and have deviated from my planned route for a few times. That doesn't happen any more with this app! To be sure, there are unnecessary gimmicks like the 3D tilt, but I understand those features might be unnecessary for me but necessary for others, and they don't get in the way. Overall, I consider the $5 I spent very worthwhile.
