Topo GPS - Topographic maps

By: rdzl App
Plan and follow gpx routes

Overview

Features & Capabilities

Topo GPS turns your Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac) into a complete GPS with detailed topographic maps. Maps can be stored on-device for offline use, and official maps are available via in-app purchases. Switch between maps easily and rely on accurate positioning (about 5 m in favorable conditions).

Plan, record and follow GPX routes, manage routes, waypoints and layers, support multiple coordinate systems, and share data across devices with iCloud. Supported formats include GPX, KML/KMZ, GeoJSON, WFS and CSV. Privacy is protected: Rdzl does not collect user position or routes unless shared, and the product is sold, not user data. Background GPS use may reduce battery life.

User Reviews

User sentiment is mixed: many praise Topo GPS for global topo routing, ease of use, and one-time map purchases. However, the most mentioned drawbacks are limited map resolution and zoom, missing hiking trails overlays, lack of US topo data, especially, and a difficult MacOS/desktop experience with slow or incomplete offline downloads and occasional poor support. Overall, strong potential for outdoor use but notable region/data and UX caveats.
Pros
  • Finds great routes worldwide and works well for hiking and biking across multiple regions.
  • Low-cost, one-time map purchases instead of subscriptions.
  • Simple, usable topo maps that show your location and help with planning.
  • Often described as the best hiking map app tried by some users.
  • Can almost replace a GPS in certain situations.
Cons
  • Map detail is limited; cannot zoom far and not detailed enough for hiking.
  • Lack of trail maps or layers; hiking trails often not visible.
  • US topo data is largely missing or unavailable.
  • MacOS/desktop navigation is hard to use and lacks a manual.
  • Offline downloads are slow or fail to complete or take hours.
Recent reviews
The strength of this app is that it finds great routes all over the world. While some apps work decently in certain regions, for example Google Maps in the US, they do not perform well elsewhere. I used Topo GPS in North America, Europe and Asia in three different countries on each continent, and always got good results, often those that a local would pick, both for hiking and biking.

Seemed like it was going to solve all my problems: one-time map purchases rather than subscriptions, and supports phone, tablet, and computer. Unfortunately the map, at least the one I've purchased, is quite limited in resolution – you can't zoom very far in, even though the (free) map source it uses has more detail. It's ok for driving and casual browsing, but not sufficient for hiking. On top of that I got no response from the developer when reporting this. Finally the UX needs improvement, for example with how it whites out the map squares when zooming rather than magnifying them until the new image data loads.
