User Reviews

Overall, users praise iHikeGPS for reliable offline topo maps, ease of use, no ongoing fees, GPX compatibility, and solid developer support. Common downsides are a limited map source set (USGS/USFS), requests for CarPlay integration, and a learning curve due to a somewhat quirky interface.

Pros

Offline topo maps on the device via downloaded USGS/USFS maps; works without cellular data.
Easy to configure and reliably usable over many years.
No subscription fees; single upfront purchase.
GPX import/export and broad file-format compatibility.
Strong developer support and helpful documentation.

Cons

Limited map sources (primarily USGS/USFS topo maps) with requests for more options.
Wish for CarPlay support.
Quirky/complex UI and learning curve, with help content not always intuitive.

It is easy to configure and use. I have used it over 15 years. Solid and dependable. Internet is only needed to download USFS and/or USGS topographic maps of your choice, which are stored on your iPhone. All operating features are completely useable in Airplane mode. Waypoints, GoTo, Tracks, Routes. Multiple Waypoints shown on your map screen. Help info is stored on your device. ihikeGPS is the Winner!

Why would all my downloaded maps disappear in a fall? Seems pretty strange, I’m hiking, phone thinks I fell and my maps are deleted. That needs a fix.

This app allows you to do many different things. The help menu that’s available in the app can be confusing, at least for me, however in you look up the app in your browser, then you can scroll through the menu and find what to do. I wanted to delete some track segments and using the info in the browser version I was able to remove just the segments I wanted and not the whole track.
