Ratings and reviews

I used this app daily while hiking in france It's not as good as Ordnance Survey, but it's a good app. The navigation / user experience is a little clunky. There's a good selection of user contributed trails (I think you can only create these by recording, I couldn't figure it out), the filtering on the selection is a little wild. But I wouldn't go hiking without it! Vive le IGN !

On the free trial. I have the full 1- 25000 on my phone from a different source so I might no subscribe, however I think it's a fair price. This has a lot richer look to it and if I didn't already have the full map I would snap this up, it looks like a great piece of kit. So, decided to subscribe but will not process the payment. Been trying for a week at least. Is it you or Google that the issue is with ?

I used ViewRanger, which was an excellent app to get access to downloaded offline IGN maps (the whole social network buddy stuff does not interest me at all but that's OK, you don't need to use it). Unfortunately ViewRanger is no more, sold out to another app that is worse. IGN Rando is the obvious one to use instead. Have downloaded it but use will be limited until the possibility to download maps on an SD card becomes available. For anyone designing ths kind of software, do realize that just where you need topo maps, in the outdoors, connection to a 4G data network is often bad or non existent. So you really need preloaded maps of a fairly large area, and that is just too much data for the phone's internal memory (unless you have a very expensive phone with huge internal storage, and even then, if you also need to store pictures and videos etc. there, it still fills up). Keeping maps on an SD card is way better. Once it has that option I'll give it more stars...
