Excellent back country navigation option. My buddies and I use CalTopo for all of our adventures. Any big or possibly treacherous trip I do, I use CalTopo to prep and download layers as needed. It takes some learning because old maps are available, and things change in time, but with all the data it has available it's a really powerful tool.

New to the app. I loaded GPS points that I downloaded from the internet and it..... simply works!!!!! No pay wall, no annoyances; it just works This will probably be my first and only paid app. Great, useful features, amazing coordinate icons, fantastic distance calculator. Over all, bybfar the best map app from the dozen+ Ive recently tried.
