Its designed to be lightweight, intuitive, responsive, battery conscious and totally free. Perfect for casual day trips to serious bush excursions.Developed by an adventurous Kiwi for adventurous Kiwis!Topographic Map TilesThe Topo50 map series provides topographic mapping for the New Zealand mainland and Chatham Islands at 1:50,000 scale.At a scale of 1:50,000, Topo50 maps show geographic features in detail. They are useful for a wide range of activities such as local navigation by vehicle or on foot, locality area planning and study of the environment. Used by a wide variety of groups, Topo50 is the official topographic map series used by New Zealand emergency services.To produce our Topo50 maps of the New Zealand mainland we use:• The New Zealand Geodetic Datum 2000 (NZGD2000) – the coordinates of longitude and latitude• The New Zealand Transverse Mercator 2000 (NZTM2000) projection – this is what enables the curved mathematical surface approximating the Earth to be represented on a flat sheet of paper.To produce our Topo50 maps of the Chatham Islands we use the Chatham Islands Transverse Mercator 2000 (CITM2000) projection.Topo50 map tiles sourced from the LINZ Data Service http://data.linz.govt.nz/ and licensed by LINZ for re-use under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 New Zealand licence.Satellite ImageryLINZ has been working towards getting New Zealand’s most current publicly-owned aerial imagery – covering 95% of the country. Aerial imagery is captured from airborne sensors and cameras. It provides an accurate photographic representation of the earth’s surface and the features on it. It can be used to visualise landscape, or to understand how an area has evolved over time.Sourced from the LINZ Data Service and licensed for re-use under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 New Zealand licence (http://www.linz.govt.nz/data/licensing-and-using-data/attributing-aerial-imagery-data)• Swaps to Topo250 tiles when zoomed out (feature request)• Bug fixesMore feature requests coming soon!

Am so sick of the Marker 'feature' popping up! I hardly ever want to use it but often just scrolling around a map causes it to come up, every second touch sometimes!!! So annoying!!! Apart form that it's a great app, accurate maps, easy to use.
Love this app. Used it this past weekend while out on a overnight section of a bush craft course with local Tramping Club. Awesome to know where you are all the time. Just learnt I am import a gpx file to show on map. Great feature. Thanks for a great app. Cheers Bryan 😙
Great topo map app. Have used this for years on multiple trips. It would be great to be able to toggle between the Topo50 and Topo250 when more zoomed out though!
VG UI. Love the Rd names ex openmap & the aerials. Newbee questions: 1. How do i download(cache) all of nz at a scale readable on smartph. 2.When i zoom out (after caching) topo is fuzzy.. not sure what i am doing wrong?
Good app works ofline
Excellent. Like to know how big the north or south island file is?. One brilliant feature for me is searching with nztm coordinates from old Garmin, not only finds it ,but gives me paper map coordinates which makes this the best convertor I have used. I like to have paper as well
The ocean has been removed from the satellite imagery, it was really helpful for finding fishing spots, now I'll have to use a different app, this one was really good
Brilliant App. Intuitive and easy to use. I have just walked off-grid for 6 days and never needed to open my paper map. Battery usage is efficient. With judicious use of the GPS I managed on a single charge of my Android device. Not bloated with 'features' I don't need or want. The software is reliable with no glitches or crashes.. unlike some of the other offerings I've tried. It's free but I'd happily pay for this App.
Tried track recording but couldn't find any detail on the amount of time or any of the information about the trip taken. All the information should be in an easy to find menu, and adding a time tracking should be easy to do since I didn't know how long 3 kms took me. Would like to see a bit more detail put into the recording track part of the app. Otherwise would be a 4/5.
Does its job well 👍
