Topo Maps by Landscape Reviews

Extremely dangerous for actual mountaineering use, very low resolution maps and slope shading. TopoMaps would literally send you off of a cliff if you trusted it. It uses free maps from open street app that anyone can use. In fact, I’m an open street contributor myself. I contribute for free to help others, then TopoMaps bundles up those contributions of volunteers, and sells it to people. For mountaineering use, CalTopo is cheaper and much more powerful. Four peak tracking, peak bagger is much more intuitive, and it’s free.

TopoMaps doesn’t seem to remember that I’ve opened TopoMaps and shows the welcome screen every time I open to it. It lags a lot, especially on the memories page where it hangs all the time browsing and scrolling (I have about 740 miles of hikes in Health that it imported). Those map thumbnails are never cached and needs to get regenerated every time I open TopoMaps as well. Only a small portion of the hikes show the location, most don’t. On the details page, some hikes show elevation gain but most don’t. The AR 3D model never finishes rendering, only showing up as a shape without actual map texture.

The only app I would chose to assist on a 14,000ft hike. AR feature is both helpful and aesthetically pleasing. Big fan!

Looking forward to TopoMaps. I’m an avid hiker and like to visualize what’s ahead on my treks. This will definitely help me navigate my way to a peak!

This is a good app. The 3D models that it makes are really cool!

I hope whoever created TopoMaps makes bank on this. What a development to the IPhone world. Maps is laughing now…

TopoMaps is great. It allows you to see what your hike will look like, and gives you a unique perspective on what to expect. I look forward to trying the offline features on my next adventure

I love TopoMaps for its visualization and statistics. It’s a great way to relive your adventures and gain perspective on the places you’ve been.

One issue though is since updating to iOS 17, my memories have no longer been updating after logging a hike on my Apple Watch
