Iphigénie | The Hiking Map App
Iphigénie is a Hiking map app designed for outdoor enthusiasts in France and globally. It caters to both individuals and professionals who require accurate maps for activities such as hiking, biking, and horse riding. The app offers over 40 detailed topographic basemaps, including IGN maps, SwissTopo, IGN Spain, OpenTopo, OpenSnow, land registry, and slope inclination, which can be accessed even when offline.
Before embarking on an outing, users can prepare by downloading maps for offline access, creating and editing tracks, importing markers, printing map sections, and searching for specific locations using names or GPS details. They can also access routes and landmarks from IGNRando or Data-Avalanche and view a 3D representation with slope inclinations.
During the outing, the app allows users to geolocate themselves on the chosen basemap and follow routes using GPS without relying on network availability. It also records tracks and provides real-time information such as distance traveled, elevation, average speed, current speed, and estimated time of arrival. Users can activate the beacon function to allow their loved ones to monitor their progress in real-time and set voice alerts for guidance.
After the outing, users can create groups of tracks and landmarks, store and backup their data in the Cloud, export GPS tracks and landmarks in GPX format, and share their outings and landmarks with friends.
Customers appreciate Iphigénie for its ability to discover new places and save time in remote areas with limited indications or markings. The app has also received positive feedback in the press for its accurate IGN maps, even without network connectivity in high mountains.
The app is available as a free basic version, allowing users to be geolocated on 25 free base maps and access real-time information. To access the complete app with 40 base maps including IGN maps, users can subscribe to the Iphigénie Carto for €24.99 per year. This subscription allows downloading maps on the device and access to all features of the app. The complete app can be tested for free for 7 days.
The app proudly supports environmental preservation by donating 1% of its turnover to 1% for the Planet. It is proudly made in France.
