★ Search by name for over a million towns, peaks, lakes, parks and other features.
★ Mark waypoints, and import and export waypoint files in GPX, KML and CSV formats.
★ See coordinates in NAD27 or WGS84 degrees, degrees minutes and seconds, UTM, or MGRS formats.

Coverage: this app makes available more than 69,000 maps covering the Canada and the United States (including Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands).
The Maps: these NRCan and USGS maps are the definitive resource for hikers and other backcountry users, and the scans used by this app are of the highest quality. You can make the terrain stand out with hill shading, using simulated sunlight from the direction of your choice.
Downloading: Canadian maps vary between about 15 and 50 MB and will download in around 30 seconds to 5 minutes on a typical home broadband connection. Most maps are sent from our own fast server but some come from the slower NRCan server and require a 5-minute installation process. USGS maps are smaller. Both cellular data and WiFi can be used, though WiFi is likely to be more reliable in most cases. Please get in touch if you encounter problems while downloading maps.

If you believe that a newer version of a map is available, please get in touch so that we can fix it.
Note that the 17+ rating is only because the app's help screen could be abused to get uncensored internet access.
