App Description

Download official National Park Service and US Geological Survey topographic maps for GPS and offline use!

NP Maps Rocky Mtn app offers NPS maps of Rock Mountain National Park, Dinosaur National Monument, Great Sand Dunes, Black Canyon of the Gunnison and Mesa Verde National parks and more for you to see your location on them realtime. Plus, NP Maps Rocky Mtn downloads official US Geological Survey topography maps for the entire United States and the ten US territories.*

This app is priceless for road trips, hikes, camping, exploring, planning and much more. You can build complete map sets to cover your travel from where you start to the national parks in the entire state of Colorado. Because many of these wilderness regions have no data service, select and download maps now or while online for your travels so you can enjoy using this app as it was intended: no internet connection. And, this app can detect internet service and automatically install USGS topography or NPS map for your current location if not already done.

Logical and intuitive to use. Park and topography maps are geospatially integrated with Apple Maps for a familiar interface and for navigating a visual catalog of maps. A marvelous index into an extensive library covering Colorado allows you to select maps for install all with a simple touch along your planned route of travel.
