Re: Offline GPS Maps

Yeah, for some reason when I look at their depiction of peaks I've climbed they look lower, smoother and less steep.... :a1:

Re: Offline GPS Maps

Yeah, I'm liking PeakFinder although way out in the boonies it tends to miss some peaks. But WAY accurate on the skyline...it's eerie.

I'm also liking Avenza's PDF Maps a lot; I think it's the...

Re: Offline GPS Maps

It does seem to use Android apps, so it should be upgradeable in that respect. I'm just not sure if you're stuck using their software to run the thing; it was very unclear. If you could use say...

Re: Offline GPS Maps

So far it found only a few; doesn't look like they'll make enough even to start it. Not surprised; doesn't do much you can't already do with a tablet or smartphone. And apps like the ones we've been...

Re: Offline GPS Maps

I'm gonna try the other one, the one that shows the line drawings (PeakFinder). So far it seems better: lists more peaks (you don't have to hit dots to see them), doesn't depend on compass, and since...

Re: Offline GPS Maps

Tried out the "Peaks" app. Meh.

I'm sure that part of the problem is the rather inaccurate compass in the iPhone, but even still it was disappointing. For example, in the shot below I was sitting...

Re: Offline GPS Maps

Found a review of the Peaks app, the one that uses augmented reality. From the review it seems one of the problems is the accuracy of the iPhone compass. I'll give it a try and report back (I'm...

Re: Offline GPS Maps

Someone else made something very like this, but I too found it not very useful. Even fairly large peaks just ended up as small dots. An augmented reality app would be very cool for this; there's...

Re: Offline GPS Maps

I want to thank 4x4kayaker for the tip on Avenza's product; I really like it. Aside from all the available maps (some free, some at a cost), it allows you to customize data fields. So you could add a...

Re: Offline GPS Maps

I use that, and along the same lines (ha), Theodolite.

Very much better than many of the regular compass apps.

Re: Offline GPS Maps

Shoulda caught that; sorry.

Turns out an app I hadn't loaded in quite a while does offline maps and photos, GaiaGPS. You can choose from US Topo, Google maps/terrain/satellite, UK maps, Canadian...

Re: Offline GPS Maps

I've used iHikeGPS on iOS; it's by the guy who does MacGPS. Pretty nice, especially since you can download topos and forest service maps, the latter being especially helpful since you can get route...
