GPS Kit is the ultimate app for heading outdoors with the iPhone. With full-featured maps with caching, real-time GPS readouts, and track/waypoint recording and sharing, getting around outdoors with your iPhone has never been more ...
Glad this app has been updated Have used it for Hunting for years Used other apps but always fall back to this one                     Love it Taxlawj
This was my GoTo app for GPS tracking for years and I am glad to see that it is back Again Highly recommend this app to anyone looking for a versatile GPS tracker that also offers great options for exporting Just hope that an update for Track Editor is in the works as that is an essential tool for completing the GPS Kit                     So glad to see GPS Kit is back Crash620
Great Thanks for the update yay Can you please update track editor too Also why is open street maps not showing when I switch to that map type The default google map works I use this mainly for hiking Recently I have been using it for urban hikes I cache my maps so I can see then even if there is no Internet Great feature When you hit the sleep wake button GPS Kit tells you that it s working in the background so you don t have to have the app open You can save your maps which is great and has a great sharing feature and exporting so you can view in Google Maps or Google Earth later It s easy to email yourself or friends to show them where you were I find this app to be very accurate so if you are a hiker like me this is the app to get Another cool feature is you can cache the maps so if you saved a map and want to go back there in the future you can download the map for that area so you won t have to download the maps again next time you go Sweet feature D                     Great GPS App for hiking walking biking etc DudemanLA
I ve used this app since the early days on my IPhone4 Recently was forced to try other options as it seemed this app wasn t continuing I m so so happy to see an update for this Can t wait to have this ready to go for hunting season again Thanks so much FYI this is the only review I ve ever made on an app just want to express how much I love GPS Kit and how exciting it is to see an update                     Wonderful Gndwntheroad
Finally an app to my favorite navigation app Now I can continue with my hikes and other off road navigation without fear of the app being dead because of iOS updates Yea guys                     Simply the Best Keithustus
9 1 17 update At last Great map downloads for offline mode are once again available Nice work Garafa team The latest update takes care of the buggy issues that have developed I m excited to once again be able to recommend this app 4 18 17 update no updates in over 2 years The app frequently crashes and most of the maps are not available in offline mode This used to be one of my favorites but I am coming to the conclusion that the developers have abandoned this orphan app Great app Variety of maps and ease of caching for off line use provides fantastic usability 5 1 15 update There is an issue with latest version or latest IOS that prevents caching of any map except Google Terrain Hopefully this will be fixed soon                     GPS Kit Pdxpyro
Thank you Garafa for updating Love this app and look forward to future updates Maybe bringing back squawk                     Great Tool TxBlackGold
At long last 64 bit update GPS Kit is the most useful and flexible outdoor app on iTunes Very glad to see the update all of the features that became buggy after recent iOS upgrades work flawlessly once again Happy that this app can continue to live on my devices                     Yes Yul G
Still many great features but one of the ones I liked the most was Squawk which is now gone otherwise I would have given five stars             Glad it is updated to 64 bit but Squawk feature is gone J.A.G. 66
I ve tested many apps and GPS units and this is by far the best app It allows me to download and save maps for offline navigation which is extremely helpful in Baja or other remote regions I ve recommended this app to everyone who has a iPhone or iPad They are all happy with their purchases Update I m thrilled to see that the developer has continued to support this awesome software even after Google Earth changed their image use policy I ve been using this app in conjunction with MapBox and it s been working great I ve tried all other legitimate GPS apps Hema LeadNav and Gaia Those are pretty decent but only this app does everything I want and need Thank you GPS Kit                     Fantastic map app Update still the best ForgottenNombre
Been using this app for like 7 years Still useful But now that it s been updated I m getting 5 stars just for that I ll update my review later when I see what s what Just glad to know it wasn t completely forgotten                     Finally AN UPDATE JumaJuma
Thanks for updating The map looks a little blurry Please fix it                 Good update GR8 Kam
Love this app thanks for updating to 64 bit I ve been a loyal user for many years and find this the best gps app                 Very useful Works when offline in wilderness Siggi Olafs
Update 5 years later no updates Buggy and battery hog App feels like it s designed for first iPhone Original review Developers have done little to support this app since release The most recent editions will eat your battery alive Several times I have had to use other methods to track my way back since this app ate my battery up in under 30 minutes     Poor app Johnbob1223
Used to be a 4 star but recently it just continues crashing on my new phone This app needs an update to fix the issues     Fix the bugs Ten98io
Super disappointed that this app hasn t been updated in 3 years It was great while it lasted but now my 40 is wasted on a totally outdated app which won t function on my phone     Abandoned app doesn t work anymore thekitchenpaper
Was great but no updates Apparentli they re just abandoning users who paid big money for the app Worked well years ago     Do not buy Dgkkutddhjj
This was a go to App I have used it for years However I have not been able to depend on it for over a year It is now completely useless It crashes constantly and can no longer do most things it could do in earlier versions First app I have ever seen regress There is zero customer support The company has clearly abandoned the app Don t waste your money     Orphaned app run away JohnsThoughts25
No updates since 2014     Completely abandoned horrible graphics
Trash Coordinates are no longer correct last update was 2014 Use to be my favorite GPS app I ve now deleted it due to no longer being able to trust it     Trash coordinates are no longer correct last update was 2014 whynot1
This was a great app Now it s in a bad need of updating PLEASE UPDATE     Plz update RoshuaJogers
The devs seemed to have abandoned this app Every time I load a gpx file it crashes and sometimes the file gets loaded but sometimes it never will no matter how much I try Used to be real solid but now not so much I would look elsewhere         Was great now sad c_bron
Will stop working with iOS 11     No updates AARONA36
Very few updates I keep getting a warning that it s out of date             Needs updating Sync ok
I ve been using this app since iPhone 3G It has a clean interface and enough features for hiking and mountaineering                     Best GPS App period GraniteStateJRP
This was a great app no longer updated Paid for nothing Highly disappointed     Angered Newberrywingsfan
This app used to be great and I used it all the time in the mountains It had great support and but I guess it wasn t profitable and now seems to be abandoned Haven t seen an update in a long time and has many glitches with each iOS update     Abandoned by it s developers Feijoada84
It was a great app but it no longer works Crashes every time no solutions no support Don t waste your time or money for this app Disappointing No idea what alternatives there are     No longer works cackalakpaul
THIS APP SEEMS TO BE ABANDONED no updates since early 2014 I tried this out today The trace on the map was half way accurate The speed all over the place To snip out any spikes in your data you have to buy an other app from the same company The idea is good the way the app works is bad There are tutorial videos Some of them have no sound They must have put this together in a hurry My friend that went with me on the hike had an other app and I m jealous for less money he got a better product Also I tried to publish the track on Facebook Not working I think twitter does Just save yourself the trouble of trying to get your track together you ll spend more time on the app than hiking     No updates for 3 years Laca90028
I love this GPS app I am a Colorado hiker with over 80 separate summits and long distance backpacking experience I load my GPS before I leave and can depend on its maps and locator offline Its triangle locator points me in the right direction every time I can edit tracks and send out my maps and tracks to friends with ease It took me awhile to learn to use its features properly and then it s smooth sailing My only wish is that it s corresponding track editor crashes less But I ve still had success I highly recommend this to beginner hikers who don t want to spend as much on a new GPS                 Amazing app for its price kmikwilliams
Favorite app since iPhone first came out Used it every time I go mtn bike Made a wish for my birthday it would be brought back to what it once was             iOS 7 Pretty sure we are at iOS 10 now Adrockn
I agree with RisingConviction I use this app in remote locations and it was great I referred many friends But now it is buggy When I zoom in while I am online the maps don t load Downloading offline maps takes forever Maybe someone else out there will make a good replacement Until i haven t found a replacement for getting offline satellite maps I use Gaia too but topo maps are not the same         Needs to be updated Boone12
This app works as advertised with no glitches or problems I ve had it from the start I like it and use it often My only complaint is there is no option for location tracking while using So unlike nearly all other apps that require location this one is either on all the time or it s off I wish they would fix that Still when it s on it s excellent                     As advertised rick_carr
RisingConviction s review is spot on I m in the same situation GPS Kit hasn t had an update in 2 1 4 years It s unmaintained and shows it Sad as it was my TOP GPS app Using Gaia now in addition to Cyclemeter and Strava which are more in tune with collating data         Abandoned and crumbling icycle77
Super handy I use it for all my outdoor adventures Fishing hunting Offroad Offline mapping is super important to me because cell signal not being available PERFECT                 LOVE IT
I love this app Its great for hunting and hiking Only problem is on iOS 8 I cant use offline maps           Great app but few bugs
Work pretty well up until iOS 8 When I zoom in it closes program I wonder if there will be an update           Problems with iOS 8
This app is hands down the best hunting and outdoors GPS out there The ability to share waypoints with others is a must                 Best Gps app for Hunting
I am a big fan of GPS Kit it has been about four years using this app and for me is the best out there for navigation apps Garafa team has done a great job and I am very happy with all the updates and I do encourage you to continue working on an upgrade If you love outdoor sports this is the right app to use in order to keep track all of the details I mainly use it when birding I can create waypoints to my personal birding hotspots track the circuit and later or while tracking the route I can see on the dashboard all the details lowest and highest elevation in meters feet measure the distance in km miles and the best of all is that I can use the app offline All the best wishes                 Best navigation App
This app was my 1 now its worthless with these blurry maps fix it     No good
Repeatedly contacted about blurry maps issues Have not responded This app will be removed and Gaia purchased instead This app is unusable as is        Please fix the blurry maps
The maps used by this app are blurry especially when zoomed in Use Google maps instead and save your     Save your DO NOT BUY
I use this to track my kayaking and bike trips This app is great                 Great for Kayaking
The tutorials dont work speed distance reads inaccurateto high by about 30 tech support nonexistant waste of 10     Not recommended
Amazing app                 Great app
App worked great when I first bought it a year or so ago however it has started to continually have me calibrate it by rolling the phone around The map also briefly disappears when the phone is tilted or when I zoom in or out Love the app just wish they would fix it           User
Like others have said satellite images are blurry on every zoom level Still useable but for 2015 there is much better map data available Wish they would update           Love this app for the backwoods but
Everything is all blurry completely useless now Use to be a great map picture now I need to find a new GPS that I can actually see what the map shows Very Disappointed     Worst update ever
On Version 701 Much better support for Retina The unfortunate thing is removal of Public Channel Feature on Squark              Much better Support for Retina
The app hasnt been updated for over a year and a half Im on iOS 84 and the offline maps stopped working a while ago If the phone doesnt have Internet connection it wont show a map even though the region has been cached        Offline maps dont work
This used to be the best and only GPS app I would use But now after talking with the developer on multiple occasions about fixing Sqwauk and blurry maps Im done Hes been promising a update since iOS 8 came out Dont waste your money     Lazy Developer
Great app I manage my tracks for mountain biking and dirt biking Apple watch would really help me When riding I want to check if Im on the right trail and taking my phone out is a pain I want to see if Im on the track at a quick glance on the Apple watch Please add              Please add Apple watch support
I would give this app 5 stars but recently it has been giving me lots of trouble when trying to import KMZ files At first it crashed the app to the point where I had to delete and reinstall which also wiped out all of my saved geodata by the way and now after reinstalling the app simply will not load imported KMZs I am not sure what is going on but I dont like it           Trouble importing KMZ data
I was uneducated about GPS units and apps prior to using this app which should speak volumes about the user friendliness I would take the family out motorcycle riding and a little fear I would have is that we would get turned around out in a ride and as we ride in the desert a wrong turn can end up terrible I found this app along with 3 other GPS apps about a year ago After trying to set up and learn how to use them I found this one to be the easiest In fact if you are trying to learn the app in the support section they actually have a video library showing you how to use it I now use this app every single riding trip and feel secure that we know how to make it back to camp                 Great App
Used to be a nice app but now map is so fuzzy its worthless And why would I buy one of their 300 apps after seeing the lack of effort they put into this app Have contacted support without response I think they all died If they bring things up to snuff Ill reevaluate     Not usable anymore
This is a great app that I have recommended to all of my friends and family One of our favorite features is the squawk feature which allows us to keep track of each other when we are hunting together After the last update A YEAR AGO the squawk feature stopped working It will not let me or any of my acquaintances accept any friend requests This nullifies one of the primary reasons why we loved this app in the first place We have been patiently waiting for an update to correct this problem but one has not been forthcoming hence the low rating for one of my favorite iPhone apps Fix this PLEASE     Squawk is broken
Title says it all does what it does brilliantly Very happy with it                 Great for MTB with OpenCycling maps
This app great for off road or hiking Is there anyway you can add 3d view                 Love the app
Squawk wont allow you to add friends Please fix this     Squawk
Hi we are a group of ten guys who have and love this app as we use it for offroading and its very helpful on so many levels Best app ever But lately we cant seem to connect to each other and every time we send invites or receive invites it says we dont a version of GPS Kit with squawk installed Could you please look into this and correct it ASAP Thanks again for a great app guys Keep up the good work                 Love this app but have a small complaint
Does not have the functionality that it claims We cant accept friend requests for squawk     Please fix squawk
How do you guys figure that the blurry satellite image is useable Please address this flaw Its a big deal The app is good but this really turns it into some what of a let down Its so blurry that you cannot zoom in at all              Blurry map is a big deal please address it
Garbage Doesnt work     Gps kit
Not for the outdoor adventures at all Wasted 10 to get a tacking service No useful boundaries overlays like State Land Natinal Parksand Indian Reservations Showing the same googlebing maps you get for free from their websitesor the Maps App already on your phone you get a way to retrace your steps or take the same trip twice with the track portion of this app If your looking for a way to show everyone what path you took on your last walkabout this app is for you     No Boundaries state land
Great app horrible update After the 701 update Google satellite imagery wont load properly Images are blurry or missing when zoomed in and almost never materialize regardless of the length of time you give them to load The update has made the app almost useless for me Update 1815 I had a friend ask me about the same issue recently so it seems they still havent corrected this problem A workaround I discovered was to change the map type under settings from the default Google satellite to Google hybrid This seemed to solve the issue for me           Blurry satellite imagery after update
We use this app duck hunting to navigate flooded timber Takes us to our hole flawlessly every time                 Great app for hunting
Just an awsome app If you see a deadly review its their compitition planting seeds Been using this for years now and after trying many apps this one is a no brainer Caching maps for remote areas is so easy and it rocks Good buy                 What can I say
Great app for outdoors activities the offline maps is great and this app can take the place of a gps device provided you have away to keep your phone charged                 Great app
Wish I knew that it didnt have any quality imagery maps before purchasing        No good map options
Im very happy with this app except for the resolution of the map images Quite pixelated and frustrating to look at Other than that it has replaced about 3 other apps all in one              Please improve map image resolution
New review After latest update I can no longer trust the app to display cached maps offline Sometimes they are blurry Sometimes they dont display at all So in the backcountry maybe having a map means not having a map you can trust Which means this app is now just about useless to me sad Old review below Dont even carry my Garmin Oregon anymore This thing does it all so much better Very precise and SO much easier to install offline maps than a Garmin handheld I use it trout fishing mountain biking hiking road riding etc Worth every penny     Awesome App
Foremost I would like to let it be known that this is the only app that I keep buying iPhones for I have used it extensively since purchasing it for 15 almost 5 years ago and I would GLADLY pay more to see it upgraded Please update this app              Please update for iOS9
Great I use this mainly for hiking Recently I have been using it for urban hikes Its great To save battery what I do is go to GeneralNetwork and temporarily turn off the 3G and Cellular data I did a hike yesterday and only had 35 percent battery It only used 20 percent on a 6 mile 25 hour hike I have been using this app for a long long time This company has been improving the app over the years I cache my maps so I can see then even if there is no Internet Great feature When you hit the sleep wake button GPS Kit tells you that its working in the background so you dont have to have the app open You can save your maps which is great and has a great sharing feature and exporting so you can view in Google Maps or Google Earth later Its easy to email yourself or friends to show them where you were I find this app to be very accurate so if you are a hiker like me this is the app to get Another cool feature is you can cache the maps so if you saved a map and want to go back there in the future you can download the map for that area so you wont have to download the maps again next time you go Sweet feature D                 Great GPS App for hiking walking biking etc
Please fix the zoom in detail which it lacks even on wifi Sat map detail is horrible              Fix bug
We use this at work to map wildfires and keep track of each other for safety on the fire line The rudimentary using 3 or 4 fingers to calculate a rough estimate of area works ok But if it would automatically calculate exact area after walking a circle this app would put our expensive tracking service out of business Also squawk wont let me add anyone as of lately           Needs area calculator
The maps are so bad no detail Deleting right away Save your money and dont waste it here     Wasted 10
This app has been around for a while and offers a lot of features it still has failed to implement any cloud save or backup features It still relies on email export and import which in todays world is archaic and clunky If you upgrade your phone like I did you have to email all your maps to yourself then reimport And not all data is restored Why not just use iCloud or Dropbox        Cant get past one missing feature
ive seen this app being used on my buddys phone but i bought the latest version and the maps are blurry please fix or regund my 999 thanks           great options blurry maps
Satellite download is painful If youre trying to download lets say 100 tiles it will pause after each tile loads so you have to hit the resume download 100 times Satellite images are blurry Probably the worst 10 ever spent I wish I could get a refund     Satellite download terrible
This app need to make sure that it can download offline maps from Google Street View Now it can only download offline google terrain view only              Review from user
Dont waste your money unless you like blurry maps     Gps kit
Great app Variety of maps and ease of caching for offline use provides fantastic usability 5115 update There is an issue with latest version or latest IOS that prevents caching of any map except Google Terrain Hopefully this will be fixed soon              GPS Kit
Been using this app for about 6 years now for hunting Its Great but had a friend who was lost in the woods but was still able to contact me by text Had him send me his coordinates but did not have the option on GPS KIT to input info to get to him Please add that option thanks We did find him BTW              Great app but
AWESOME APP and a great tool for use on Wildland fires but unfortunately squak is not working Please fix with new update        Squak broken
