User Reviews for Avenza Maps: Offline Mapping

Upper Mississippi HIGHLY recommend

I have been using Avenza Maps to navigate the upper Mississippi River since last year. It provides real time GPS positioning on their map app. I downloaded individual US Army Corps of Engineers navigation river maps from their website into this app, and using my ipad or iphone, gps positions me EXACTLY where I am in the channel. I verified the accuracy to within within about 10 feet! Easy to navigate in the dark now! Thus I can see all the wing dams, and my relative position to them, and the channel is highlighted in white. The ONLY slightly negative thing is you have to manually switch between each river map when you go off the current map. I have boated now over 200 river miles using these maps with high accuracy, since a long river trip last summer. The only limitation I found is that the USACE has moved the channel slightly in some areas, and the most recent USACE navigation maps edition don’t show these changes. (NOT the apps fault)

What happened to searching for maps?

I used to love Avenza. I still use it with the maps i have in my collection, but to search for a new map, forget about it. I liked that you can put searching maps for recreation but now that option is gone so you get ALL the types of maps they have on file. I need hiking trails not topographical maps or other kinds of maps. Don’t even bother searching a specific area because it will send you somewhere else not even in your own State. The buttons cut off so you just see the top of the word (Download, next, previous...) so I have to guess what it says without pressing the buy button. So frustrating. I want to love this app again since I’m always out on the trails. Fix the problem please so I can get new maps without going to a different app.

Overall a good product, but...

I recently set up a new iPad from the backup of my old one. The first time I opened Avenza maps, a message told me that I needed to re-download my maps. Started doing that. An error message told me that the maps were no longer available in the Map Store. Great. Hundreds of dollars worth of maps are not available? Eventually I found that I just needed to log back into my Map Store account. Should have realized that, but anyway, in this situation the error message should remind the user to log in—NOT that the maps are not available. Feature request: when scrolling near the edge of the map, it would be nice to have a pop up of some sort advise the user of adjoining maps (if any).

Piece of crap.

The only good thing above this app is that it’s free, but you get what you pay for. Ive been using it since the beginning, and every time they update their software it gets more difficult to use. Suppose for example you want download maps that you’ve used before, but aren’t on your device. This might happen because you had to delete the app due to corruption and start over, which I’ve had to do several times. There’s no way to tell it to download all maps not on the device. You have to scroll through a list of your maps and select the ones you want. But beware, if you happen to touch the wrong area while scrolling, you have go back to the top of the list and start scrolling again. Due to glitchy responsiveness it’s almost impossible to scroll far.This is just one of he crappy aspects of the app. I could write a thousand pages, but will stop here.

My go-to hiking navigation app

Hands down, this is my favorite app to use while hiking. I am in New York City, USA and I do most of my hiking in the highlands north of the city. Avenza has really high quality maps showing all the local trails. It tracks my location on those maps and doesn’t use too much battery. I also like the ability to record GPS tracks. I would give it a 5 except for a few clunky features that are a bit hard to use. It is hard to get the tracks to disappear off a map without deleting them altogether. They obscure the view of that map for subsequent hikes. I would also like the ability to draw paths freehand to measure trail distances. As it is now, you have to create a series of straight line segments that don’t mimic actual trail geometry. Overall, though, I haven’t found a better app for the price. And, you can buy and download the maps. I used this for a trip to Athens!

Frustrating App

I’ve been using the app for approximately six months during a handful of off-road trips. It’s adequate when you acquire a map which is originally done in PDF (such as from Tom Harrison, National Geographic, and some others). Many of the maps, however, are in fact sourced from compressed scans of printed maps (or low quality renderings) that are virtually unusable when zoomed in to ascertain area details. The store does not indicate which are native PDF and which are scans. Many of the better available maps are available in hard copy for essentially the same price, though missing only the nice ability to use your device’s GPS to indicate and track your location. An issue of all mapping apps is that it’s sometimes nice to spread out a paper map to get the big picture as something is lost when you use an app such as this to zoom out making features so small that they’re unrecognizable and text unreadable. Overall, if you needs maps, you’re much better off getting the much more capable Gaia app and suffering the subscription fee which you’ll quickly rack up in a handful of maps with this app versus unlimited maps in Gaia. I think there’s a place for this app if you restrict yourself to Tom Harrison maps or are able to get lucky and find native PDF maps which are not available on Gaia, but all of the Nat Geo Trails illustrated and topographic maps are in Gaia ... and much easier to find and download.

Smart tracking, clunky interface

Often overlooked are the app’s intelligent tracking capabilities that are very customizable and can yield more accurate tracks with less noise than many leading GPS apps. However, you will be hard pressed to reliably export features like tracks to other apps because Avenza’s approach to layers is just all wrong. So bad. Record a track and you should be able to name it right away and have it be findable at top level directory rather than buried in a sea of Avenza’s generic, self-named Layers. Tracks and waypoints should simply transfer to other apps via iPhone’s Open In sharing option, but because your actual track is a so-called Feature within a Layer and never expressly named, you can’t reliably locate it during export. It’s a shame because Avenza isn’t realizing the full potential of what is good about it, and I feel it’s due to misunderstanding its user base and believing all they want are digitized PDFs they can draw on. This is the niche around which the whole ecosystem revolves.

A Must Have

I absolutely love this app. My family enjoys hiking, biking, and off highway motorcycle riding which is where this app excels. For all you single track and trail riding motorcycle enthusiasts find your map by searching for either “MVUM” (multi vehicle use map) and/or “OHV” (off highway vehicle). No worries about cell service as this app utilized the GPS in your phone. I also love the ability to plot photos and mark my trails which makes it a joy to share later with friends. A feature I would like to see added would be the ability to share my recorded “track” via a simple text. The track would then be imported into other applicable maps and more importantly with friends who also have the app and corresponding map(s) so that they could follow the same track at a later date.

Amazing app for national forest lands

I got this specifically to get our local National Forest maps, without knowing how wonderful it really was. I’m so glad I did. I am able to plot pins in favorite little hidden campsites, lay tracks so I can navigate back to unusual places or check how long it takes to get there. I can even add photos to those spots. Buying the national forest map so this way costs about half the price of the printed versions and with the advantage of being interactive. Another major bonus is on my phone it works off satellite and doesn’t depend on cell service. Many national forest areas have no cell service but I can still use the map. Of course it does use up your battery so there’s that to prepare for. I charge it when I’m driving with my cigarette lighter adapter. I’ve also found many local free maps (or very cheap) such as geological surveys.

Slipping a bit

This is one of my major hiking pre-plan go-to apps. I still eyeball it, but the store has gone all wonky somewhere along the line. Trying to download the gazetteer for an upcoming Maine trip, but it just refuses to cooperate. First, the search returns hits for Kentucky and Arkansas near the top of the results list. Under what ridiculous search algorithm would results for Maine get pushed below other states? Further, it is only returning individual Maine maps at 99¢ apiece, rather than offering the whole gazetteer bundle in one shot, like it did for other states I own. Not buying 50+ individual maps, for neither all that hassle nor the price. Tried sorting for highest price first, hoping maybe a full bundle would bubble near the top of the results list: nope. Some $7.99 irrelevant result came up, while every other search result I had just been viewing literally disappeared entirely when sorted that way. 4/5 stars: fact is, what I have from Avenza right now is awesome. I just can’t seem to do anything in terms of conveniently expanding my library, for the moment
