Forest Maps 2

Got this to use when out exploring and usually where I do not have cell coverage. I have down loaded several maps, it doesn’t seem to work well when there is no cell service. Several times the previously downloaded maps wouldn’t load and when zooming in, frequently won’t display more map details unless I have cell coverage. When I do have coverage it works great. Using iPhone 8 with the current iOS. Edit: 3* to 5* Good response from developers and bug was fixed.

I rated this App 3 stars for now until they fix it for iOS 13. Ever since I up graded to iOS 13.1.x, the application is broken. It will start up then it just locks up and is unresponsive. I did send emails to support. All I received was a note back saying “we are sorry you are having trouble...”. The application works great with previous versions of iOS. Good thing I didn’t update all of my devices. However, I use my phone the most and am bummed I can’t use it on the go. So I use my old iPad for planning trips out to the woods. One great addition the application could use is a way it import and export pin locations. Especially when programming flaws like this one happens. You won’t loose all your favorite waypoints and locations. If they fix the app I will write an updated review. Best Regards & good luck.

I really appreciate that this app developer added this feature similar to his original app. We can see exactly where we are and where we can go to next. It is also great for adding POIs and campsites. One time, we got lost in an Oregon National Forest looking for Waterfalls, but this app, with its detailed roads, helped us to find our way out. USFS roads, because they were built for logging in varied terrain, are often a maze of twisty tangled roads to nowhere. Thanks again.

This map app is awesome, I use it for hunting in Northern California. The detail of roads, as far as the size difference between highways, trails and dirt roads is obvious — big plus there. I can’t say enough about the fine details on these maps! They are excellent — the map color is off gray, the details just jump off the map at you. Found a hidden gem of a camp site with this app. All maps are of course GEO enabled, you would have to try to get lost with this app on your phone, if that’s even possible. Waypoints are in layers so, you can quickly go to the layers menu and bring up all your waypoints. Nice job to the developer.

The GPS in my Jeep sucked. It wasn’t a very useful map for 4x4 trails, but when I opened this app I was able to get back in the main trail - it got us out of a jam big time because we kept heading away from the main trail and could’ve been lost for hours. Worth the purchase!!
