iHikeGPS : Classic Topo Maps

Have used this in the backcountry with 24k USFS maps with great results. There is one feature that I wish this app had: Folder structure for Routes and Waypoints. Dealing with dozens of GPX files and Waypoints would be easier if there was the ability to create folders/subfolders for organization instead of the current flat file system.

I wanted to delete some track segments and using the info in the browser version I was able to remove just the segments I wanted and not the whole track.

I really appreciate how this developer makes features available that other apps charge a premium or subscription for. I've owned several such apps, and this one is my favorite.

I’m passionate the outdoors. I seem to use paper maps and iPhone/iPad apps weekly for hiking, backpacking, bikepacking, backcountry skiing and exploring in my car. I have maintained a paid Gaia subscription for years, I’ve used low cost/free GPS mapping tools, location enabled PDF’s, etc. Still iHike is the simplest, fastest, most intuitive app of them all, with also the lowest power consumption and best map download facility. These days I only use Gaia on my Mac at home for planning. The map
