Terra Map - Trail Explorer App Reviews

My go to app for hiking

This is a nice program as long as you download the maps you need before you are offline. I would give it 5 stars except for the intermittent problem that I am having with it marking my track. Yesterday I thrashed through brush for three hours uphill to mark a fence line, when I got to the top the track hadn't registered even tho the little icon was still flashing as active. Grrrrr!

Good introductory tutorials in both the app and website. Maps are large, but are well detailed; and the download speed is good. Also, maps management is well designed. Possible improvements: Route planning can be improved to take existing trails/tracks into account. Distance calculation is a straight line one; would me more useful if it can follow a path or can have multiple segments.

Edit: The developer helped me with this, so I’m raising my rating. Original Rating: “I notice that the maps leave artifacts from the relief when looking at the topo. It’s very annoying.” From the developer message: Hello, we have to keep a limited number of height samples to keep memory occupation acceptable and our library works with a tessellation of images of 256x256 pixels so when the system is zoomed the shading can appear unrealistic. You can switch off the shading using the menu Setti

Great maps and user interface. What more do you need?

Muy buena herramienta se la recomiendo

Wonderful ride

Very readable maps and works well offline when there isn’t reception

Update: After closing and restarting the app a few times, the satellite slider began to function properly. This app is great, btw, and I appreciate the response to my first post. Original: Just downloaded the latest update/release and now I can’t view satellite images despite updating the particular maps I’m interested in. Is there a bug that needs to be fixed?

Works perfectly on iPhone. I use this app almost every day.

Just downloaded and did my first hike. Surprisingly good maps with topo, trail details, features for recording your exercise etc. Offline map access is super helpful. Happy that you can access this in the free version although when the limits kick in I’m happy to pay for the premium of $18 for life (I think) a much better value than $30/year with AllTrails.

I use this app for general navigation when hiking, biking or driving off-road. The other app I use is GAIA. GAIA has a lot of layers to choose from, and many more choices for waypoint icons, but this app works best for ease of navigation because it shows all the street and road names, names of terrain features and state/district bike trails. The process for updating tiles is faster and easier than GAIA.
