    Topographical and track map apps?

    What is the best Topographical Map app for smart phones? Something with Topographical information and also track information.

    Preferably free apps.

    +1 for Topo50 is only $6 or $7 for the whole north or South Island downloaded onto your phone, so can use when their is no service.

    Could you post a link for its download? I'm not used to Smart phones, so want to make sure I am getting the correct one?

    Thanks.

    If you search up topo maps on the Google play store you should find it. I think is costs around 20 bucks. I like this app because it has a reallygood track function, unlimited waypoints and I can load good aerial imagery for it. You just need to make sure you zoom in on the area you are going on the wifi at home. The other mP app mention has the entire North or South Island downloaded onto your phone but lacks the functionality in my opinion.

    Second that. I like to record my day trips to see the distance I've covered (10kms over 12 hours yesterday) I also got a version on my home pc so i can send a route to the wife and text "10.02 at waypoint 6" or whatever when i have signal. The waypoints function is good too for marking wallows and deer beds etc.

    Identify your target beyond all doubt because you never miss (right?) and I'll be missed.

    Per year. 38 cents a week or 5c a day works for me
