THE BEST MAPS
• View seamless topo maps by MyTopo. MyTopo takes the base maps offered by the USGS and enhances them with stunning shaded relief from the most up-to-date information available for topographic mapping. Topo maps are 1:24K scale in the Lower 48 states, 1:63K in Alaska and 1:50K in Canada.
• Store maps on your device for use in remote backcountry areas without a data connection.
• Two maps are better than one when you use dual mode. Map Maker lets you overlay two map types on top of each other for the best trip planning experience.
• Utilize five map types: street, hybrid, terrain, topographic and aerial.
• Save maps for offline viewing. No network connection is needed once you store maps on your iPad.
• Get the best of digital maps and old-school paper maps. Pair maps you create in Map Maker Pro with a custom waterproof map printed by MyTopo.
