About this app

Offroad navigation app with worldwide topographic maps (mainly Russian general staff maps). There are also many other map layers with up-to-date and detailed maps or aerial photos.

Even though most of the Russian maps date back to the 1980s, they are still among the best topo maps available for many regions in Africa and Asia, especially if you are looking for remote tracks or old infrastructure. All maps are also labelled in English.

Map data can be downloaded so that the application can also be used without internet reception. No user data is collected by the app!

Selectable map layers (worldwide):
• Topo maps (worldwide coverage 1:100,000 - 1:200,000) Russian General Staff maps - Genshtab
• GGC Gosgiscentr Topo maps Russia 1:25,000 - 1:200,000
• ROSREESTR The Federal Service for State Registration, Cadastre and Cartography (only Russia. Up-to-date and very detailed)
• Yandex Maps: Satellite images, road map. (Online use only!)
• Openstreetmap: excellent maps with different styles as well as shading & contour lines): OSM Topo, OSM Cycle Map (especially for cyclists), OSM Outdoors (for hikers), OSM Landscape
• Google Maps: Satellite images, road and terrain maps. (Online use only!)
• Bing Maps: Satellite images and street map. (Online use only !)
• ESRI Maps: Satellite images, street and terrain map.

All maps can be created as overlays and compared with each other using a transparency slider.

Switchable overlays (worldwide):
• Hillshading
• 20m contour lines
- OpenSeaMap

Ratings and reviews

Install this, and you will get the developer's long-available "Soviet Military Maps" app on your device. Then if you you go to "App Info">"App details in store," you will come back here. Not a big deal, unless you inadvertently buy the Pro version twice. The Soviet maps are a treat, even for otherwise well-mapped areas such as Western Europe, and there are other maps sources as well, including Open Topo Maps and Esri, so it is more useful than just the Soviet maps would be. The biggest disappointment is that Soviet maps are not provided for North America, instead USGS are substituted for the US, sources I am less familiar with for Canada and Mexico. The wonderful book, "The Red Atlas: How the Soviet Union Secretly Mapped the World," has many, many examples of how, even though the Soviets primarily copied USGS map content, they gave it their own twist, and added some information from other sources (spies? satellite imagery? National Geographic?). Map lovers may despair, but scanning all of the US would be a huge expense for minimal added utility., and I presume their corporate focus is on utility, not entertainment. An easy five (Red?) stars for the fascinating Советские карты, where they are provided. Minus two stars if I am allowed to pout about missing north American coverage.

I used app' in 2016,it is good user friendly interface.However the developer should improve on grid accuracies, waypoints activation which exceeds more than 3 positions on the map,it embarrasses bcoz of limited savings of user's points on the map.improve on, make it a 4or 5 generation map, allow it to use satellites aerial map.

It is amazing map! Very detailed maps(but with time some details changed of course). This app is reliable and accurate, nice thing for traveling, you can found some interesting places or you can plan details of your trip knowing the topography of area.
