Russian Topo Maps Pro

ATLOGIS Geoinformatics GmbH & Co. KG

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!

Ratings and reviews

My favourite geo app. However, I need an update and cannot find the .apk on the website, whereas Google prevents updating. Please advise the correct link to download. Upd: new .apk downloaded according the vendor's advice, works OK!

I am using it for my backpacking trips in Siberia for a number of years. It is very useful for navigating in unknown areas especially if you did not prepare a trip plan in advance and have no GPS cooddinates for key points. Just do not forget to download maps for the area of interest.

Previously 5 star. Excellent ability to download osm maps. Recently the app has developed a bug whereby the map reverts to the base Soviet map when app is restarted very annoying. Started to use alternative map apps. Shame
