Topo Map & Hiking Tracker

Great app! I use this app while horseback riding and hiking. It is easy to figure out, has accurate maps and with the continuous tracking lines it is easy to get back to the trailhead. Also, unlike other apps, I can use my camera, check my messages while this app continues to run.

I recently started hiking again after 13 years of being on a cane/walker and have been really excited to track my progress as I go. I have loved being able to show my doctors/surgeon all the progress I have made. However, it appears none of my hikes have been accurately tracked. This morning I stopped to sit for a few minutes and while I was checking my route on the app, my distance kept increasing. When I sat down I was at exactly a mile but when I got up I was at 1.05 miles. The last update notes for this app state that the distance problem was fixed but clearly it’s not and now I feel terrible about excitedly showing everyone my progress. I know it may seem trivial but for someone who was essentially bedridden for my entire adult life, this is devastating. So, thanks for “fixing” this issue.

I did the same hike a week apart, and it said there was a mile more the second time (this is a hike I’ve done dozens of times, so no chance I took a different route). The gain however was almost identical each time. So mileage tracking is a bit off. However I do overall love this. I love being able to visualize my progress! I love getting my own map of the trail, and even if mileage is off it still gives me a ballpark idea.

Finally, with the help of this app I was apply to find my way through the woods to a known road I wanted to get to instead of going the traditional route. With my map and compass accompanied by this app I succeeded. I do think the mileage is way off though. And I wish it calculated vertical gain and loss. Maybe it does and I just haven't figured out all the features yet.

This is a very nice, lite, clean app. No ads, just a few basic options and no clutter. User interface is simple and intuitive. Only used it a handful of times so far but really like it. I will use it daily for my woods walks with the dogs. I wish all apps were this lite and simple.
