MapOut Отзывы пользователей

Много каких функций еще пока не хватает, но задел у программы очень хороший. Пользуюсь ею изза быстроты и возможности импорта набора точек из Гугл-карт (kmz).

Best app investment in a long time. This just works and is simple to use. Good to have such a good alternative to subscription based map services

Not only does this app have a horrible user interface, you can only zoom into the map so far. It’s too zoomed out to make a route, even if you think you’re using the tool incorrectly there’s no instructions. I found a YouTube video but the sound doesn’t work, it doesn’t show any type of trail, even if you wanted to create your own trail, 1: there no where to save it, and 2: it’s so zoomed out that your just making a random path on a mountain. It’s completely useless😅 you may as well toss 5 bucks down your toilet, it’s a complete scam. Kind of smart on their part, good way to make a quick buck by scamming people.

MapOut is certainly one of the best mapping apps out there. I recommend it to all of my friends. If I were and android person, I would buy an iPhone just to get MapOut - it is that good. I’ve been using it for years, and use it every day because we adventure all the time. Best features? You can draw a route off line by dragging your finger. This feature works well, and you can choose different ways to route (straight line, bike, walk, etc). Also, you can measure along a route. Just highlight the route and it will show distance between point a and b ALONG the route. I haven’t seen other apps that can do this. Another great feature is the elevation profile. Again, you can set a point A and B and get an elevation profile along the tour… with total ascent remaining. This is great for when you’re tired and want to know how much more uphill to the top. It is always very accurate. Also, a fantastic way to compare two routes if you’re looking for the easiest one. Maps are clear and easy to read. Tiles can be downloaded ahead of time so you can go off grid. Plotting points is easy, and you can share tracks quickly - even to your Garmin offline! I do that by highlighting the track, clicking the share sheet, then sharing the track to Garmin Explore app. Once the device syncs, I can have a new course on the Garmin. This is SO useful because plans change and when you’re offline, it would be impossible without this app. Also, bike (green) and walking (pink) routes are easy to see, meaning you can actually draw better quality routes than you would with Strava and definitely better than Google. I have written a companion app in Shortcuts.app which takes any coordinates from your clipboard and makes a waypoint in MapOut. This is how I get coordinates from Google maps (satellite view) into MapOut. If I had one wish for MapOut, it would be to have satellite view. Even if that required being online (and caching tiles for offline), it would be super.

I’ve tried several GPS apps over the last 15 years for bike, hike, backpacking and backcountry snowboarding and this is the best designed app by far!

Best app we’ve found for offline mapping when hiking or cycling outside of cellular coverage. Using Open Street Maps as the mapping source results in very efficient map storage and no ongoing subscription costs. This is a great alternative for those of us who have been driven away from Gaia Maps by ever increasing subscription costs and renewal policies.

This app is perfect for traveling. Especially if you have 0 cell service. Also good for camping and everything else. I tend to use it in Honduras when I visit.

Seriously. This is the best bike touring and hike mapping app ever. I regularly meet tourists on the road that show me whatever mapping thing they use, and it’s never even close to as good. MapOut would be amazing at any price. At this price it’s just a steal. I’d 100% pay again for a Mac version so I could do all my route planning in it.

I don’t know why this app is so hidden. If you hike, bike or paddle, this app is a must.

I’ve been using this app for 5 years +. I travel world wide and can download a map for any location for offline use or where cell roaming is costly. It’s GPS reliability is stable and speed and elevation are accurate. I trail hike a lot and it is invaluable in low cell reception areas. Its maps are world coverage. Absolutely must need for all map uses. GREAT!!

This app does amazing stuff. I finally purchased it after friends described it. My only gripe is that it doesn’t support the Apple Watch. Am I the only one who thinks this would be terrific? A tap on the wrist when approaching a waypoint or junction. Or when you wander off the route. Or when your heart rate exceeds a set point. How far to the top of the hill? How steep is this trail I am hiking? So much info to be had without having to hold your phone in your hand.

I do a lot of driving on backroads, and this is the best app I’ve used for downloading offline maps, and recording tracks. Simple and clean user experience. Would be perfect (5 stars) if it had CarPlay support.

This app is outstanding. The best map app I have…. Nothing else comes close.

I got tired of paying 30-40 dollars a year for the big name trail apps just for the ability to download offline maps. MapOut is an awesome alternative to that, giving you basic topographic maps of anywhere with only the useful info. I used it to map a backpacking circuit in Glacier National Park and it’s worked awesome so far. I can’t speak for the record features because I only use it for mapping, but the tour planning features are useful and easy to use. Easy five stars.

I have been using MapOut for years to track hikes and paddle trips. It helps me find alternate routes, track mileage, and keep track of where I’ve already been when exploring an area repeatedly. I love being able to use it offline without eating network or battery. The only tiny complaint is that if you’re somewhere very steep, like the Alps, it has a hard time holding a steady GPS perspective and then draws a zigzag, increasing your recorded mileage. But this is a tiny thing relative to overall great value without a subscription.

This app seems to hit a load of points that are important to me - distance, elevation. It has a pretty cool 3d option to look at the terrain. It is relatively easy to use and I found it downloads the Maps I need relatively fast and big enough area that it is easy to nab the maps before going off the network. I am still slightly stumped when the app will be able to select a trail- it doesn’t seem to work unless one is currently on the trail, but that sometimes does seem to work either 🤷‍♂️ A few things I would like: Be able to enter some coordinates and go to that spot. And One thing that seems to be missing on all map apps- hiking - is a searchable database of places. This app is no different as far as I can tell. Like recently I wanted to get in the area of cutthroat pass and look at the hike- I know exactly where it is or I have to use some other app to find it and then come back to this app.

been using ride with GPS for 4 years , but so far this blows that away, and I haven’t seemed to scratch the surface of it’s intuitive interface. Thankyou

I think after 10 years of using iOS, this is the first app I have reviewed. I have several tools I use for navigating while hiking and biking, but there are several standout features of MapOut. First, offline maps are a must, and the OpenStreetMaps are pretty good, and include topography and many trails/paths in addition to roads. Second, .GPX import works very well, and routes are easily named and organized. Graphs for elevation of the route are clear. Third, the method of creating new routes is genius. Double clicking sets the start point, and then you drag over map features (roads, trails, etc) to draw the route. The app snaps the route to known features, but also allows for “off trail” routes. Very intuitive and fast. Finally, a feature that I have always wanted, is you can set a start end end point on a particular route, and it overlays mileage and elevation from that point. So, for example, on a multi-day trip you can set the day’s starting point and have all statistics begin at that point. Great work!

I purchased this because nothing else really worked well for areas where there is spotty cell reception. I do a lot of backcountry trail runs and typically use something like Strava or Google Maps in offline mode for general geolocation. Strava doesn’t work without a cell signal, and frequently tries to close the app that I’ve had open, at which point the route is gone is cell signal is unavailable. Google Maps offline is just not really very good at all, not detailed enough, though it does show your spot on a map. MapOut is 100% offline downloadable with detailed trails and extra abilities like creating routes beforehand. It is extreme reliable and is really a panacea for mapping with little cell signal. The maps are so detailed, sometimes I pull it up inside the city to find new trails or routes. It reminds me of those dedicated Garmin Explorer GPS devices. MapOut is very cool, and very worth the money.

Though my iPad plus protective case weighs a couple or pounds, MapOut is always in my backpack. The ability to zoom in down to a foot accuracy (it seems) makes it easy to avoid going down a wrong path. Accurate distance and elevation data during a hike is also great to have. I color code all my hikes by year to see when and where I did a hike on the map.

I took a $5 chance on this app … what a payoff! I plan city walking tours for all of my travels. MapOut makes it easy to import those tours as gpx files. Offline maps work very well. It comes with maps of the entire world fir the “first several” zoom levels. As you zoom in more, you need to tell the app to download more maps tiles. I was afraid this would be cumbersome, especially if you wanted very detailed street level maps. But it’s very easy! I tend to stay zoomed out to the city level and then select the tile that encompasses the city … that will download all the zoomed in tiles for the city as well. I love how waypoints are clearly titled on the map. The elevation data is a nice touch … MapOut adds it if your gpx file did not contain it. Being able to draw a new route from within the app is also nice. I could go on, but you get the idea … I’m very happy with this purchase. I like it a lot better than the free maps.me app I was using for the same purpose. MapOut is much better suited for route planning and following. I don’t really have any gripes. But, I wonder why the app won’t import kml files … it will export to kml, just not import. Fortunately converting my existing kml files online is pretty easy.

I purchased this app mainly for its feature of allowing me to draw routes (called tours). I find this indispensable when hiking in the wilderness. Before I depart, I will plan the route by drawing different tours. The app very helpfully places mile markers on my route and includes inclination information to help me decide. When I'm out in the wilderness without cell reception, I won't get lost at an unsigned junction because I can simply open the app and check my current location overlaid with the drawn tour. I used to just guess where I am on a map and have deviated from my planned route for a few times. That doesn't happen any more with this app! To be sure, there are unnecessary gimmicks like the 3D tilt, but I understand those features might be unnecessary for me but necessary for others, and they don't get in the way. Overall, I consider the $5 I spent very worthwhile.

This app is amazing! I use it for driving, biking, and it’s amazing for Paraglading! Really great interface and updates are fast and well executed! Thanks for a wonderful app! Update... Start Date 73120. Still the best OSM app out there. Excellent updates and Ooo so very useful. Use for navigation on a bike, in a car, while paragliding, and even sometimes flying.

I have been using this app for about a month now and I love it. The maps that are used are more accurate then AllTrails in my experience. I had 2 trails that ended early on all my other hiking apps by 0.5 miles except for mapout. I use many of the included features available. They also have a pdf showing all the features of the app which is Awesome. Strongly recommend this app!

Map out is the most useful app I have. The ability to see maps and your current location offline is invaluable. I recently had a foot a flat tire in the middle of Oregon wilderness and used it to see my location and tell AAA where my car was. Without this I wouldn’t have been able to get help and could have been stranded. I could not be more thankful for this app.

So far I’m really impressed by this app - it’s really easy to use, offers a strong suite of functions, and is visually gorgeous. That said, I would encourage the developers to keep adding POIs, especially those relevant to outdoor activities! A campsite overlay, for example, would be so helpful for off-grid adventures. Thanks!

Last week while off-roading in Death Valley, because we had google maps (and not Map out) we took a wrong turn and got stuck for 3 days. If we had this app we would have spent those 3 days at a cabin. Don’t go anywhere without this app anymore

It blows my mind how this app isn’t more widely used for backpacking. Initial investment garners so much value - rightly beautiful maps, easy to navigate UI, great features. and most of all elevation profiles in real time (something others lack beyond dedicated trail apps). I thought it would be easier just to upload a .gpx file from a desktop 3rd party client but using this app’s native toolset was so much easier. Cannot recommend enough - I hope the developers keep this app up to date as it will be my #1 used app for my trips. 🥳

Best app ever! I mapped out rides and then exported them to another app. But (I’m a little slow) once I realized this app also mapped and followed me as I traveled I was ecstatic! Riding the dirt and gravel roads out in the middle of nowhere in Oregon, on my Honda Africa Twin, I always know where I am and where I should go. A must have and so easy to use. Worth it!

And constantly being improved upon

Quality of the maps & the fact that it downloads all the data to your phone makes this the best route tracking app I’ve found. Works easily, quickly, and reliably.

Who need to buy a Garmin when mapout does so much? Heading to Italy for a five week tour and plan to use mapout on my iPhone. Downloading gpx files is so incredibly easy too. Routes are easy to organize into folders. I don’t see a reason to have any other map program.

I'd like to be able to bulk move tours to a folder, please. Otherwise, this is the very best hiking app there is. Amazing, yet simple.

Used the app extensively for self guided bicycle tour. It worked great. Made route planning very easy as well as following and adjusting the routes.

Great maps Easy to use Create or find routes. Sharing....

I think the strength of this app is how you create routes. It is truly easy. I have used this app to plan several multi day bike packing trips and MapOut is my favorite gps app without a doubt. It is also easy to use “in the field”. Last year my preplanned route was obstructed by a massive forest fire. It took me no time to reroute and redraw. I also dig how the detailed maps download, it is intuitive, quick to load, and it allows you to adjust the map boundaries as your adventure grows.

I've been using MapOut for about a year and now consider it an essential app. It has all the features you need for planning routes before a trip or way-finding once you are there. I've used it to stay on snow-covered hiking trails in Colorado and to navigate the ancient footpaths along Italy's Amalfi Coast (and to just record walks in local parks). And you can't beat the price! One-time fee versus annual subscriptions other apps change. Try this app and you won't be sorry - it will be your new constant companion!

Pretty darn good. Some minor trail versus location offset at times but still good.

I was always impressed with the app's ability to draw routes by hand and snap to the road network. The recent update introduces a number of improvements and features I felt were either once lacking or are totally unique. This is my new favorite app alongside Maps.me. Update: After using the app with the new update I find one thing annoying...the stylized "arrow" is difficult to see. I would prefer a triangle shape just like in the app icon. If something is wrong with this opinion at least give the users a choice of the standard triangular arrow or the fancy kind. Lastly, the arrow almost always points in the wrong direction, especially when in motion such as riding in a car. I'm sure this is just a bug that can be fixed.

Great app that I downloaded because a pro cyclist team director (a big team btw) was using it in the car. It'd be amazing if we could add markers for climb categories, sprints, feed zones... (basically icons from the Tour de France stage profiles). And also track how far those markers and finish are from the current position. Map quality is outstanding.

I had a number of problems with this at first, so I contacted the company. They bent over backwards to help and explain, and after several exchanges, things worked out nicely. These folks are highly professional and service oriented, so I am happy to herein modify my original review. Thank you Michael and Stefan!

I absolutely love this app, but they need some bug fix updates quickly. It crashes far too often. I like the app enough to deal with these annoying interruptions for now, but I hope the fixes will be forthcoming.

Best map app I have seen for hikers and bikers: topological maps allowing quick profiles, accurate trail and road data, efficient memory use for maps and tracks.

Downloaded this while looking for openstreetmaps compatible apps. There are some awkward UI issues, like how it doesn't automatically download lower levels without explicitly requesting them, or how I can't search for places that I haven't downloaded, even when I have cell service. It lacks satellite views which is a must for some cell/wifi-capable outdoor areas. Also, deleting downloaded data is an all-or-nothing deal. Overall, I don't see myself using this very much.

I love that it quietly records stuff without needing the display. I was out for 2 hours using it on my iPOD touch with the Bad Elf GPS for lightning, and it just sipped power. Two things I could wish for: average speed on a saved trip, and the ability to mark, save, and tag a single waypoint.

Yes, the OSM-based maps are clean and elegant. Offline-viewing of selected tiles is easy and nicely implemented. The tilting/perspective feature is slick. But to my mind the ability to easily record, manage, and share your route data is the killer feature here. You can easily email yourself the route data as GPX files (easily converted to geojson) and thus render it on your own custom maps. All in all, this is clean, simple, well-focused app, well worth 5 bones.

I purchased MapOut before traveling in Italy and it worked beautifully. I was off cell service the entire trip and MapOut helped navigate cities and countryside easily. Amazing map detail and elegant design. The only future enhancement that would be a real plus is if you could drop a pin at the day's starting or end point as a reference for navigating thru the day. Thanks for a terrific mapping solution for off the grid travel adventures!

Decent app, good detailing and till view is more useful than I originally thought it would be. Huge downside: developers please add the ability to tag and label locations for future reference.

Pros: Awesome smooth vector maps with OpenStreetMap data! Cons: there are POIs displayed from OSM, but from a very few categories. Data is not loaded from OpensStreetMap servers but updated regularly

I bought this app after arriving in Switzerland and needing some form of offline maps for the bike touring and hiking I had planned. 1.5 weeks into my adventures and I am so very thankful to have this app. It is fast, easy to use and the information it provides for elevation, distance and locations of bike routes is extremely valuable. It even allowed me to find some routes online an send them to the app for comparison and reference alongside the built in national route data. And it's all offline so I can use it everywhere! Also I reached out with questions and the developers were very friendly and helpful! Buy this app!
