Description

- TIME Magazine’s 15 Fantastic Gadgets “Perfect for hiking or mountain biking.” - TUAW.com “The GPS Kit app... has a number of excellent outdoor uses, especially [for] hiking, biking or geocaching.” - NBC’s ‘The Browser’ Radio Show “Most beneficial for adventure-type guys.” _________________________________________________________ GPS Kit is a top-of-the-line GPS system for adventurers and professionals in the great outdoors. GPS Kit HD takes full advantage of the larger screen to bring you an all-around completely immersive experience. The same powerful menus and tabs can now be shown at the same time as the map, giving you more context and information at all times. **A note on iPad types: the 4G/LTE version of the iPad has excellent GPS reception, even without Internet connection. The wifi-only iPad does not use true GPS, so, while the app may still prove useful, it will not necessarily get an accurate location. Designed for outdoor activities such as hiking, hunting, camping, GIS field collection, researching, skiing, cycling, geocaching, mountain biking, motorcycling, off-roading, fishing, and other romping in or out of the backcountry--anywhere in the world.

    I bought the program for my iPad assuming I could hotspot from my phone for GPS. I did it on my iPad because it is a bigger screen. iPad does not allow hotspot so I will need to now purchase the app again for my phone. The program even on my iPad crashes a lot even when I have tried to navigate around to learn to use it. So…. basically lost the couple of bucks.

  • Use this for off-roading but not USEFUL

    I hope they improve...I can not use Google satellite and Bing image as offline maps. Google satellite also does not load. Hopefully they are working on issues because I need this app to work good

    ...In this application?. Very expensive for the value received. More than one year and no improvements. It is an acceptable app just for tracking and save the points but nothing else.

  • It's wonderful... When you can get the off-line maps to download

    I used this app on my iPad all over the world. I would give it 5 stars, except that now there seems to be an issue with downloading Google based maps and images. I sure hope they get that fixed. Sad to see so many poor reviews, i wonder if they ever watched the instructional videos?

  • SHAME ON APPLE!

    Shame on Apple for allowing this app to be sold on their network!!! This app is a scam! IT IS NOT "HD"!! And it will not perform as the scam artists who are producing and selling it fraudulently advertise!! The marketing of this app is despicable fraud and the producer/s lie, lie, lie!! Do not waste your money on this rip off!!

    Tip: caching maps doesn't work in landscape mode. Make sure to flip your iPad to portrait mode for it to work. I live on an 18,000 acre ranch and hike 2 hours a day looking for caves, dinosaur tracks, and bones. The main problem I had was keeping track of all the places I've hiked, as well as the locations of discoveries made. 18k acres is a 24+ mile perimeter! GPS kit has solved this problem!!! The best part is that the gps works without cell coverage and that I'm able to view maps, real time tracks, and previous track history without any type of internet or phone reception. This is all shown using google satellite along with the property boundary. This app is 100x better than any garmin product such as the Felix and Monterra. Garmin is great for recording tracks, but unfortunately their maps, resolution, and screen size make it close to impossible to view outside of a computer loaded with their base camp software. I need to know where I'm at and where I've been in the field not on my computer! The only complaint that I have is that there is no option for different waypoint/ icon images, garmin even has this. The maps tend to get confusing with dozens of waypoints all looking the same. You don't know if it's a house, cave, waterfall, etc. It would also be nice if there was a way to resize waypoints as they can quickly engulf the map. I've also tried mapmyhike which doesn't offer or do anything I need for my exploring needs. I highly recommend gps kit!

  • Crashes. Lousy Support. Don’t Waste Your Money

    I got this app to manage waypoints and track from my Garvin GPS. The app does import GPX files, but it will not let you create tracks. For that you need track editor. Then buying Track Editor I found it simply crashes on opening the GPX files from and email attachment and exported directly from the GPS Kit. You can do cool stuff with your waypoints, if this think pix and Facebook and all that stuff is cool, but when it comes to basic mapping functions - as loaded with bells and whistles as this app “appears”, it will let you down. Writing support I provided the device, OS, and version of this software with a list of the bugs I found in GPS Kit and Track Editor. After a few days they responded asking me for the device, OS, and version of their software I was using. (DUH!). Then they gave me a blurp on their features, never addressing the question that these features do not work or are crashing on the iPad. Don’t waste you money on a pretty, but dysfunctional app, and also requirers you to buy additional apps that crash unless you want useless Support to help you out.

    Used the iPhone version for years and have loved it. I was excited to use this version for iPad now. It 100% doesn't do what it should. You can't download maps for offline use! Simply doesn't work. Absolutely unbelievable. I can't believe I spent another 15 bucks on this. It's straight up robbery.
