Topo GPS - Topographic maps
This text describes Topo GPS, an app that turns your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch into a complete GPS device with detailed topographic maps. The app allows you to view and store maps on your device for offline use. With all the functions of a regular GPS device, Topo GPS offers a more affordable solution with a more detailed map and easier navigation. The position accuracy is approximately 5 meters under favorable conditions.
Topo GPS is ideal for a variety of outdoor activities including walking, Hiking , cycling, mountain biking, sailing, horse-riding, geocaching, scouting, trail running, and more. It is also suitable for outdoor professionals.
The app offers features such as purchasing official topographic maps of various countries as in-app purchases. These detailed maps include height contours and are well-suited for outdoor activities. You can make all maps in a particular region available offline through the map download screen. Switching between maps is easy.
Topo GPS also provides features for routes, waypoints, layers, coordinates, and an intuitive interface. You can record and edit routes, plan routes via route points, synchronize with other devices via iCloud, search routes with filters, and organize routes into folders. Waypoints can be added by pressing and holding on the map, or by using address or coordinate inputs. Waypoints can also be shared and edited. Layers contain additional information on the map, such as long-distance bicycle routes and mountain bike routes. The app supports various coordinate systems and provides an intuitive interface with clear menus and dashboard panels displaying distance, time, speed, altitude, and coordinates.
Topo GPS supports multiple file formats including gpx, kml/kmz, geojson (zip compressed), WFS, and csv.
It is important to note that using the GPS in the background may significantly decrease battery life. The company behind Topo GPS, Rdzl, assures users that they do not obtain the user's position or recorded routes unless the route is shared with the app. The company focuses on selling their product rather than user data.
