Used to be better
     
by STL After Dark · April 23, 2013

I don't know how many updates have gone by since this was a great app, but at one time it was the best app of its kind on the app store. What happened guys?<br/><br/>The terrain map (as complained about by many other reviews) is all black on my iPad mini, until I read a few of these reviews I thought it was supposed to be that way, as if it were a really bad new addition. Now I see that its simply not working how its supposed to. Is there a bug fix in the works?

Kit works well, but poor support
     
by Antroot · April 22, 2013

I really like many of the features of GPS KIT HD, especially the easy loading of gpx and kml/kmz files. However, I have been really challenged to get any support responses by email, and I can't seem to find a phone number to call. When I asked about showing waypoint labels like google earth does, they gave a fix that didn't work with no response to subsequent emails. I have considered the upgrade to GIS KIT, but not without better support.

Cached maps are green

Only gps i found that lets you cache google maps and other satellite images. Very happy

Map resolution

The map resolution is poor and fuzzy, even the google maps that are crystal clear on other apps at same zoom level.

DOES NOT WORK AS ADVERTISED
     
by Simply Bananas · July 2, 2013

This app wants to work, but it doesn't. I'm no software guru, but if you get it working on the iPhone you should get it working on the iPad. <br/>When trying to cache maps for offline use it won't let you capture the area. Further more your area diapers when you try to view it, etc.<br/><br/>For this much money, iTunes needs to be held responsible for having a crappy app.

Use this for off-roading but not USEFUL

I hope they improve...I can not use Google satellite and Bing image as offline maps. Google satellite also does not load. Hopefully they are working on issues because I need this app to work good

SHAME ON APPLE!
     
by Gwm1963 · January 1, 2015

Shame on Apple for allowing this app to be sold on their network!!!<br/><br/>This app is a scam! IT IS NOT &quot;HD&quot;!! And it will not perform as the scam artists who are producing and selling it fraudulently advertise!!<br/><br/>The marketing of this app is despicable fraud and the producer/s lie, lie, lie!!<br/><br/>Do not waste your money on this rip off!!

Perfect for hiking,,,,

Tip: caching maps doesn't work in landscape mode. Make sure to flip your iPad to portrait mode for it to work.<br/><br/>I live on an 18,000 acre ranch and hike 2 hours a day looking for caves, dinosaur tracks, and bones. The main problem I had was keeping track of all the places I've hiked, as well as the locations of discoveries made. 18k acres is a 24+ mile perimeter!<br/><br/>GPS kit has solved this problem!!! The best part is that the gps works without cell coverage and that I'm able to view maps, real time tracks, and previous track history without any type of internet or phone reception. This is all shown using google satellite along with the property boundary.<br/><br/>This app is 100x better than any garmin product such as the Felix and Monterra. Garmin is great for recording tracks, but unfortunately their maps, resolution, and screen size make it close to impossible to view outside of a computer loaded with their base camp software. I need to know where I'm at and where I've been in the field not on my computer!<br/><br/>The only complaint that I have is that there is no option for different waypoint/ icon images, garmin even has this. The maps tend to get confusing with dozens of waypoints all looking the same. You don't know if it's a house, cave, waterfall, etc. It would also be nice if there was a way to resize waypoints as they can quickly engulf the map.<br/><br/>I've also tried mapmyhike which doesn't offer or do anything I need for my exploring needs.<br/><br/>I highly recommend gps kit!
