10 Positive User Reviews for GPS & Map Toolbox
Awesome
I work for a Fire Rescue department, and use this app to log hydrant and building locations within my jurisdiction. It is an amazing tool, allowing myself and crews to make critical response decisions en route to calls. It also utilizes USNG for land navigation as an option, which is the nav system we use. The app allows me to quickly see the building I am going to, the nearest hydrants, satellite view of terrain and objects, utility shutoff points, and with the touch of a button go to google
Bookmarks for Offline Use
Need user-friendly way to create KMZ files to use in the offline app MAPS.ME. This is necessary because if its limited search capability. Need the offline app feature because I’ll be traveling in EU with no data service on my iPhone. In this way, GPS Toolbox serves as an excellent trip planning tool. Works great now that I figured out the user instructions are located in “Settings/Help”
5 star SUGGESTION: provide a link to a downloadable pdf file for HELP information ~ perhaps you could
Excellent, But....
I got this app right after it came out, and have loved it ever since. But....!
Why can't the satellite maps be updated?
I have new facilities in my fire response area that aren't on the maps, but are on other mapping programs.
I have Blue Pins designating structures, that are sitting in the middle of large grassy fields.
If at all possible, please update the maps!
Thank you!!!
Very useful, too bad it locks up
Perfect for my use, determining a 200 foot radius circle around structures for brush clearance (fire insurance requirement). Put a pin on the structure, set the radius, then walk around the edge of the circle staking it out. I'd give it 5 stars but it has locked up a few times in the couple of days I've been using it. That's a nuisance, but the app still gets the job done.
Need External GPS link
Would like to use Garmin GLO or other Bluetooth gps to use within app.
Updating? Caution purchasing.
My iPad is saying this app will not work with future versions of iOS. I would recommend not purchasing this app until the author(s) commit to keeping it up-to-date.
That said the app works really good and would recommend buying this app as long as the author will keep it updated.
Really Excellent
Refers to an IAP, but purchase option not found in app or in AppStore description. Presumably that's coming.
Everything I want is there; I just needed to get familiar with the app. A little clicking on the various features and I was good to go.
I'm very pleased with it and recommend it to anyone who just wants to do some casual location mapping without taking a course in GIS.
Works great
Solid app that does it's job. I use it to document site locations like utility poles. It also allows to send to the app on other devices. Export to Google Earth works well.
Awesome
This app is totally awesome ok so the coordinate are excessively accurate but hay who’s gonna complain about that

Not for KML or KMZ
I should have read deeper in, but assumed it would display maps in KML format. I was planning on hiking and found a trail map for importing. So was disappointed when it could not. I found "KML KMZ GPS” did the job.
