Makes from your phone or pad a complete GPS device with the detailed topographic map of New Zealand. Viewed maps will be stored on your device so that Topo GPS can also be used without an internet connection.
Why should you buy an expensive GPS device if you can install Topo GPS? Topo GPS contains all functions of a regular GPS device for less money, has a much more detailed map, and is more convenient to operate. The accuracy of the position determination is in favorable conditions about 5 m.
Ideal for walking, hiking, cycling, mountainbiking, sailing, horse-riding, geocaching, scouting, trail running and other outdoor activities. Also suited for outdoor professionals.

Rdzl, the company behind Topo GPS, does not obtain in any way the position of the user of Topo GPS. Rdzl does also not obtain the routes recorded by the user, and save the routes planned by the user, unless the route is shared with Topo GPS. We sell our product, not our user data.
Brilliant for motorcyclists in at least one very important respect ... the ability to view the network of backroads without having to zoom in. If your phone is mounted to your handlebars, this allows you make up a route as you go along and still know that you're riding down minor roads that aren't dead ends! The app doesn't always seem to know if the road is sealed or unsealed, but it's mostly right. Worth it's weight in gold, and definitely worth the small price to pay for the NZ map.
This app has proven itself very useful, reliable and intuitive over my last 2 years of use. Highly recommend to other adventure motorcyclists
My go to nav app.
Great app.
Its nothing more than an electronic copy of a paper map. Less useful in the field. No compass. Can't rotate map. No aids to align with landscape features. Route planning poor. It is ok as a basic map. It does not have many features. It behaves well with downloaded maps when off line, which is something that competitive products have not always got right. Software not improved much if at all over 5 years. So its very much not using the phone's capabilities as you might expect.
It's all I use now but please make the distance indicator (bottom right) a larger font.
