What's new in iHikeGPS compared with other available USA topo map apps?
• Real Navigation Power: Unlike other apps that simply display waypoints and routes on a map, iHikeGPS empowers you to do real navigation to those waypoints and along those routes while receiving crucial information such as Estimated Time of Arrival, current bearing, and remaining distance and elevation gain to intermediate and final destinations. Use iHikeGPS when you are on the trail and away from cell service. For your safety on the trail it always works no matter where you are hiking without requiring an Internet connection.
• You can view elevation graphs of your Tracks and Routes with Waypoints, speed and % grade shown on them.
• You can create, import, edit, and navigate both on routes based on a recorded or imported path, and on routes based on a series of waypoints.
• There is never any confusion over what maps you have available offline. They are clearly listed and shown on an overview map.
• iHikeGPS's code size is kept very small by efficient programming so in an emergency, you can download it easily even over a weak cell connection.
• The current version of iHikeGPS runs on the latest devices and also on older devices with older versions of iOS , all the way back to devices such as the iPhone 6.
• Check the App Privacy section. We don't know who you are when you are using iHikeGPS. We never send your current location or your recorded track to our servers. Hence we cannot and don't use your location data. We cannot and don't provide your location data to anyone else. Unlike other mapping apps that profit from using your location data in ways that do not keep it private, iHikeGPS maintains the highest level of data confidentially.
Posted on YouTube: "On that day I was using iHikeGPS app to track… When I'm doing any exploration hike, this is the app I would always use to make sure I will be able to return to my car. I've encounter dead zone areas where there's no internet signal, some apps will freeze and stop working… I would not rely on using those … apps for exploration hikes. As basic iHikeGPS appears to be, it continues to work flawless without internet. To this day I continue to use iHikeGPS for certainty and survival." - Carlos in California

I use this app daily on trails in Colorado. I'm continually improving it so it will be even more useful! This version has user interface improvements and minor bug fixes.
What's new in iHikeGPS when compared with other available USA and Canada topo map apps?
• Real Navigation Power: Unlike other apps that simply display waypoints and routes a map, iHikeGPS empowers you to do real navigation to those waypoints and along those routes while receiving crucial information such as Estimated Time of Arrival, current bearing, and remaining distance and elevation gain to intermediate and final destinations. Use other available apps to find trails to hike. Use iHikeGPS when you are on the trail and away from cell service.
• With iHikeGPS, you receive the very latest US Forest Service maps at no additional charge. These maps show many new and more accurately placed trails, numbered Forest Service roads, buildings, and other important details. They show forested areas and inholdings so you know if you are on Forest Service land or private land. None of these maps are older than 2015, and many are even more recent. If you venture into Wilderness Areas or National Forest Service lands, these USFS maps will be invaluable to you. Don't settle for hiking apps which don't offer US Forest Service topo maps, or which say they include US Forest Service maps, but actually just give you the outdated 2013 versions.
• You can view an elevation graph of your tracks and your routes with speed, % grade, and nearby waypoints shown on it.
• You can create, import, edit, and navigate both on routes based on a recorded or imported path, and on routes based on a series of waypoints.
• iHikeGPS' s code size is kept very small by efficient programming, so in an emergency you can download it easily even over a weak cell connection.
• The current version of iHikeGPS runs on the latest devices and also on older devices with older versions of iOS , all the way back to devices such as the iPhone 6.
• There is never any confusion over what maps you have available offline. They are clearly listed by USGS quad name and shown on an overview map.
• Check the App Privacy section. We don't know who you are when you are using iHikeGPS. We never send your current location or your recorded track to our servers. Hence we cannot and don't use your location data. We cannot and don't provide your location data to anyone else. Unlike other mapping apps that profit from using your location data in ways that do not keep it private, iHikeGPS maintains the highest level of data confidentially.

Posted on YouTube: "On that day I was using iHikeGPS app to track… When I'm doing any exploration hike, this is the app I would always use to make sure I will be able to return to my car. I've encounter dead zone areas where there's no internet signal, some apps will freeze and stop working… I would not rely on using those … apps for exploration hikes. As basic iHikeGPS appears to be, it continues to work flawless without internet. To this day I continue to use iHikeGPS for certainty and survival." - Carlos in California
