## Description

**WeTrek Offline IGN Hiking Maps** brings offline navigation and a community-driven library of routes and POIs to your browser. When online, access a wide range of map layers—including IGN topographic maps, aerial imagery, OpenStreetMap Outdoors, OpenCycleMap, and more—and download maps for offline use. The extension supports GPS-guided navigation along planned routes, altitude progress visualization, and alerts if you stray from the path. You can record GPS tracks, create points of interest, and back up routes to the WeTrek platform.

With a WeTrek Plus subscription, gain access to advanced routing (pedestrian and vehicle), additional map layers (IGN 1:25k Top 25 and other maps), and offline map downloads. The extension supports multi-device use (Android & iOS) via Ubicarta and Play Store subscriptions, plus SD card storage to keep data on-device. For longer battery life, you can enable Airplane Mode or disable mobile data without affecting GPS.

## Review summary

Users praise the map quality and offline capabilities for European hikes, but repeatedly report stability problems, subscription access issues, a clunky/dated UI, inconsistent route search results, and older-feeling IGN maps.

### Pros

- High-quality, precise and up-to-date maps for France/Europe.
- Offline multi-scale maps with reliable offline routing.
- Easy to use and handy for hiking.

### Cons

- Stability issues: app crashes on startup on some devices (e.g., Samsung tablets).
- Subscription problems: inability to download or access routes after renewal; misaligned expectations about paid features.
- Navigation/UI feels clunky and outdated compared with modern apps.
- Route discovery is inconsistent: searches return no routes or show distant recommendations.
- IGN cartography is perceived as old-fashioned or less polished.
