User Reviews for Maps 3D PRO - Hike & Bike

Pretty darn good

I’ve been using this app for local hikes and it has been great! Love using the offline features to guide me around new hikes. Planning trips with this has really increased my confidence to try new hikes and find new routes for previous ones. It was a bit tedious at first to figure it out but once I got the plan a route feature figured out it’s awesome! I’d like for it to be able to change colors of track routing if I am hiking the same path on the way out. Also what I would REALLY like would be an easy way to print out my planned routes just in case my battery dies. Other than that this is a great bang for your buck app. It may be less user “friendly” than all trails but once you get the hang of it I really think it’s on par or even better! Also this is the first I’ve seen with 3D mode and that is useful as well!

Overall great; usability could be improved

Overall this is a great app for planning and tracking a hike. The ability to view location and tracks offline without a cell signal is fantastic and helped me a great deal during a 2 week backpacking trip to Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico, where the boys are responsible for navigating, but having a 3d map of the routes as a backup was so valuable. It helps me during a hike to check the terrain to see how much more uphill or downhill I've got to do before giving the knees a break.A couple of usability improvements would be greatly appreciated. 1) When downloading a map, it would be nice to have the default map area be the area currently being displayed, not the current location. The use case is this: I've downloaded a route or waypoint list and now want to download a map of the area. I choose "Add New Map", and the default region is my current location, and I have to pan and scroll over to where I hope the waypoints are. So annoying. 2) The process to import a .gpx file is cumbersome and not intuitive. Save to Dropbox, then Open the Maps 3D app, then go to Track List, then Import Tracks, then choose Open Dropbox, then Select the File, then Export > Open In ... and finally Maps 3D. It's a convoluted exercise that I wish was easier.

Led us to a better path

Bought this a few years ago when I was doing walks. I just wanted to have a journal of my activity. Back then I didn’t expect this app to continue to update. A combination of factors including Covid made us stop all activities shortly after, meaning I didn’t launch this app for ages. Recently, I started cycling again. I was surprised to see Park-Connector-Network (PCN) included in the map. Yesterday, the app actually led us to a better path (PCN) not shown on Google map. By better, I mean away from crowd (regular pavement) as it is difficult to cycle along narrow pavement with many people walking around. I am really impressed with the data that is made available. The app has way more features than I am using. Again, something within expectation since Singapore terrain isn’t as complex. I should try this app overseas. Have to wait for Covid to become a non-issue first before any leisure travel is possible.

Better than Garmin

We tested this out on a 20 mile snowshoe. My $600 Garmin ran out of battery half way there. This app kept tracking. I’ve been using it now for years. You don’t have to load extra maps that cost hundreds more, you don’t have to bring an extra item, just your phone, the mileage and elevation are accurate, it works reliably without service even deep in the North Cascades, and it is far more intuitive to use. It allows you to plot your own route but has most hiking trails already available. This is better than Gaia, Carin, and All trails. Please stay in business forever 🙏🏼

Very good navigation app

I would like to begin my review by apologizing to the developer and any potential user who saw my previous review. I was having trouble with some features in the app and wrote the review out of frustration. I was able to fix it by turning on the Compass Calibration in the Privacy Settings of my iPhone 6s. I use this app every single day at work so I rely a lot on it. I’ve found myself sometimes deep in the forest and thanks to the app I’ve been able not only to find my way back, but the safest way. I appreciate the developer for being so kind to me with his or her response. The only thing I need now is to recover all my waypoints.

NOT for hiking!! Updated.

You have to download maps in small sections, unless you pay $14 for the ability to download 1gig sections, which I don't mind the Dev making money, just an interesting business model. Frustrate the heck out of the customer to pay money. An odd business model but one that does have a valid angle. Most hikers I know are outside of Cellular range and while this app handles offline maps, be aware you need to pay a small fee, $4. Originally this was included in the app, hence map downloads but now it appears to be an upgrade. So this is a feature that was removed. Planning a big camping trip, well plan on a couple of hours to downloads maps, yes even with large map downloads. On the positive side, I do like this app and I want to love it but I just can't. I use it, along with MapOut and Topo Maps+ and what's interesting is that all three give different readings. From a privacy prospective, be aware the Dev does have rights to access you trails, tracks, etc. per the privacy policy. In my opinion the Developer should allow for whole states to be downloaded for a reasonable fee, especially considering that Apple host and downloads the file, up to 3gb I believe.So I have adjusted my two stars to three BUT back to two because of removing offline as a now paid feature.

Planning routes can be frustrating/impossible at times

The app is useful, but like many others it can be frustrating when trying to plan a route. Often times there may be small gaps or sections of unmarked trail between established trails on the map. There is no way that I have found to use a combination of route calculation AND direct path measurements within the same planned route. So either the route calculation winds around an obscure path to connect 2 route points, or you’re stuck connecting a million route points, even on the parts that cover established map trails. Really there should be a setting to be able to change the routing options between set route points, instead of just for the whole planned route. Other features seem great, but I really wanted this app to accurately plan routes ahead of time, and it just doesn’t deliver in that realm.

Powerful tool with a learning curve

I've used this pretty extensively to map hikes in and around Seoul. Almost always works well, although I've had it stop tracking twice - I THINK because I switched to too many other apps and Maps 3D was closed in the background. I now just remember to switch back to Maps 3D after using another app and all is fine. Perhaps that was even a bug that has been fixed in more recent versions, as it hasn't happened recently. At any rate, two things I'd really like:- the ability to show more than one recorded track on the map at a time. Maybe it is there, but I haven't found it. Like I said, there's a learning curve. - Apple Watch support. I'd really like to see my pace, distance, and altitude and be able to pause/resume recording without digging the phone out of my pocket.

Amazingly Useful

I have been using this app for about two years now, and it has proven itself useful time and time again. The GPS is surprisingly accurate, and the terrain models show a sufficient amount of detail. The ability to save offline chunks and plot and track routes is what makes this app awesome. It has saved me many times when the trail disappears under snow or I decide to take a ‘shortcut’ or excursion and lose the trail. It helped me through a 5-day trip in the Sierra range, as well as more day hikes than I can count. It also has proved useful for plotting overland 4x4 trips. Can definitely recommend. Only problem is the step-up structured payment system... it would be nice to just have one Pro version that gives full access to whatever the app can offer.tl;dr:This app is accurate, helpful, and awesome. Only drawback is the payment structure. Recommend for any outdoor enthusiast.

Great help on hikes

Saved me from getting lost a few times already. I almost never write reviews but I made exception for this excellent app. Far cheaper and better than many alternative apps. Only complaint, as many other has noted, is how the app always takes you back to your current location when you click to download so you have to scroll all the way to find the area you were looking at. This is tricky sometimes because you might have been looking at the location of a particular landmark not easy to find on the map in the first place.
