My go-to mapping app for new places. Hiking, kayaking, driving and canoeing. I can almost always find the appropriate map. Do buy bundles and digitized editions of guides and maps instead of always trying to stitch-up free maps: the cost more than pays you back by savings in time and anguish. You also support the developers and sellers. You can't expect everything to be free, much less a great map and app.

The available offline maps make navigating some far out parks easy and pleasant. No guessing where you are or which trail is the one you need to follow. One of the parks we were hiking had multiple trails that split to see several sites. The physical maps in the area were worn beyond the point of use. Using the offline maps that we downloaded we were able to navigate from site to site easily without backtracking. When the day was over we were able to see the quickest way back to our camp.

this app is garbage, leave it to the government to use the worst app available. I work in forestry and have to use this app as it is the one that the Forest service uses for there unit maps, however, it will not keep settings, tracking shuts off randomly ( which is an important necessity for my job) and it will not function unless I allow ( in the permissions) location ALWAYS. which unnecessarily eats battery. I have tried premium ,same issues. I use onx for my personal stuff and it works great. Edited

I don't think I've ever used a clunkier process for downloading offline content. I am downloading dozens of maps for a thru-hike, and the interface could not be worse for this. You can buy maps on desktop and then go through a series of menus on the app for each bundle, or you can use the app's abysmal search function to find each bundle you need. Either way, you have to go through this process for each bundle you want to dl since it takes you away from the store/search each time a dl finishes.

Nice free electronic Forest Service MVUM and other public lands maps for camping off grid. Navigation on the app itself going from downloaded map to map could be smoother. Adding an auto update maps feature is needed, even just a way to consolidate the manual updates would be helpful. Going thru to update 'existing version' on every map separately is a time consuming nuisance. GPS coordinates are off compared to Google Earth&maps which is dangerous in the back country. Accuracy matters.
