User Reviews

Overall, users praise Avenza Maps for reliable offline GPS navigation and broad map access, including NOAA charts and USFS maps, along with solid routing, waypoint, and tracking features for outdoor and professional use. However, multiple reviewers complain about changes to the free feature set: free custom map imports were removed or restricted, and map imports/sharing now require a Map Store or Pro subscription, with some viewing updates as a paid-only shift. This tension between strong offline capabilities and paid feature gating is the most mentioned point, affecting collaboration and satisfaction among longtime users.

Pros

Offline GPS navigation with maps that work without internet, aiding safe navigation and exploration.
Access to a broad map library via the map store, including NOAA nautical charts and USFS PDFs.
Strong routing and waypoint features with the ability to create custom routes and mark coordinates.
Accurate GPS tracking data useful for activities like sailing and field work.
General reliability and usefulness for both outdoor recreation and professional use.

Cons

Removal of free custom map import; users must rely on the Map Store or a Pro subscription to import maps.
Pro/Plus sharing and importing features are gated behind paid plans, frustrating long-time users.
Ongoing updates and feature shifts that push more functionality behind a paid model.

Recent reviews

This app started out ok, but kinda clunky for viewing geoPDFs, but pushed by USGS ISFS, BLM, state fish and game depts. and other public sources for geoPDF maps products. Start hitting limits years ago on how many imported pdf maps you could add. More headaches than it was worth to use it much. Now zero map imports allowed without a heavy subscription fee. Moving on to NomadTracks, and informing the public sites of this monetizing policy change.

I used grid maps for land nav in the Army. The maps and tools available on this app are just as good as paper maps and tools, but much more compact, and you can download up to date maps instantly. Some maps are paid, some are free, but I think the value is still good for what you get if you pay occasionally.

Having to pay for this app got to make this the worst app ever now. A lot of people used this for fire fighting and now we have to pay the greedy. Wouldn’t recommend downloading.
