Features & Capabilities

Download and view topographic maps covering Canada.

Topographic maps are useful for recreational activities such as hiking, canoeing, camping, fishing, mountain biking, geocaching, and exploring.

MAPS Choose from 3 map sources: Canada Base Map (shaded/unshaded), and Toporama.

OFFLINE Download maps for areas of interest to view them later when you don't have Internet access or you don't want to use cell data.

TRACKING Use location tracking to show where you are on the map, your elevation, and the accuracy of the GPS signal.

FLAGS Flags are included with map downloads. Add flags (waypoints) to the map to mark your current location or other locations. Import flags from other sources using GPX files and geocache LOC files. Share flags with others using email or AirDrop. Organize your flag types by color, for example, geocaches, trailheads, and summits.

TRAILS Trails are included with map downloads. Import trails (tracks) using GPX files you find on the Internet or from your personal GPS track collection. Share trails with others using email or AirDrop. Organize your trail types by color, for example, mountain bike trails, hiking trails, and OHV trails.

TRAIL RECORDING Record your own trails to show where you've been on the map, follow them later, and share with others.

ELEVATION PROFILE Recorded trails include an elevation profile (distance/elevation chart).

NAVIGATION Navigate to a flag by following the direction arrow that uses your compass heading. Useful for geocaching.

MEASURE Measure the distance between points on the map.

Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

User Reviews

Overall, users praise Topo Maps Canada for reliable offline access, generous free maps, and strong GPX support. The app excels for paddling, hiking, and fishing, offering downloadable sections, route loading, and track recording without cell service. Reviewers note smooth navigation and auto tile-download behavior. Some wish-list items include an UTM grid, clearer developer feedback on questions, and modest requests for more map detail. Despite these, it’s a powerful, free topo-mapping option for Canada with broad outdoor utility and few downsides mentioned.
Pros
  • Works offline after downloading maps, so it functions without cell service.
  • Free maps with no upsell; full functionality is included without needing a paid upgrade.
  • GPX support: import your own routes and record tracks with distance estimates along trails.
  • Versatile for paddling, hiking, and fishing with downloadable sections and broad trail coverage.
  • Smooth map navigation and automatic tile downloads; intuitive access to adjacent tiles.
Cons
  • Some users would like an UTM grid/navigation option and would appreciate clearer replies from the developer on roadmap questions.
  • Map tile downloads can be slow at times, affecting initial setup.
  • Occasional perceived limits on map detail for certain planning needs.

used for paddling trip in georgian bay, super useful. works well once downloaded and with phone service off, and flagging system is great.

This is ridiculously useful for any hiking in Canada. You can download sections of interest, which are populated with many trails. You can also load in your own GPX routes, which can be downloaded from many websites. You can drag your finger along a trail to estimate distances. Best of all, there’s no annoying upsell to “pro” features like other apps, this one just works and provides all the functionality you need, including recording your own routes. I recommend this app before trying all the slicker apps with upsell. Makes it easy to appreciate what this one does.
