Thread: Topo/GPS Apps for Android

What's everyone favourite topo/GPS app these days?

Used Backcountry Navigator in the past but just got a new phone so its a good time to change if something else is better.

I use Orux with garmin maps but I am about to lay down some $$ for a gps provided my trailer brake repairs dont bankrupt me

Trying to get BCN to add NZTM2000 settings to the app but they need more likes before they'll consider doing it..... like it!!!!

Oruxmaps with the nz topo set from NZ Open GPS forum. Not a practical option unless you're tech savvy

Just using topo maps nz and Google maps. All I need really. I can look at my location on a map or sat photo and map gps locations then find them later on

Not a bad idea really, its a projection from the same datum so shouldn't be too hard for them to implement.

Yep good enough and you can pull down an aerial photo if you need to, and hey its free.

I use this. https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...atlogis.nzmaps

I've downloaded the entire south island via wifi. Works fairly well.
