Download high resolution topographic maps for GPS use even while offline and with no need for cellular service. All for free and no subscriptions.

Topo Reader is designed for road trips, camping, hiking, exploration and geographical history. Topographic maps are aligned with the Apple maps view for easy referencing and intuitive touch navigation.

This software utilizes the latest capabilities of IOS 8 offering the highest performance with fast start up, map rotation, rendering and unbeatable zoom with full detail resolution. Map downloads dispatch in the background so you can continue using the app.

Topo Reader has a builtin index of over a quarter million U.S. Geological Survey topographic maps describing the topography of every region and island territories of the United States of America. Historical versions date as far back as year 1882. Install a map quad by pressing and holding a point on the reference map and discover the USGS maps available at that coordinate and the unique names given to every quad by the cartographers.

The limits dont stop there with just USGS maps. Import "Geospatial PDF" maps from the web, iTunes and email. Many local and national park services offer PDF map from their web sites which automatically install into the Topo Reader app. And, if you reside outside the USA check with your government services for topographic and aeronautical sectional maps with embedded geospatial metadata.

Cannot find that map you downloaded but know where in the world it is located. Simply zoom out the reference map view and all the topo maps become a colorful violet and partially transparent so you can spot your map. Installed maps are managed in a table format which can be sorted by name, distance, and scale. Multiple versions of the same map can be stacked on top of one another and made visible or hidden using two finger swipes.

Planning a hike somewhere and want to know the distance of your jaunt. Download the map and use the dual mode ruler to measure the path distance and know the answer to "how much farther?"
