App Description

We have moved from Topo GPS Germany to a new universal Topo GPS app.

Please search in the AppStore for 'Topo GPS' and download the universal Topo GPS app for free.

Topo GPS Germany can still be used, but will receive no more updates.

Makes from your iPhone/iPad a complete GPS device. Includes the complete topographic map of whole Germany at scale 1:25,000.

Viewed maps will be stored on your device so that Topo GPS can also be used without an internet connection.

In Germany every state is responsible for collecting its topographic data. As a result the layout, quality and recentness of the maps vary from state to state. Modern uniform layout (DTK25) is available for Niedersachsen, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Rheinland-Pfalz and Thüringen. The maps of the other states are presented in different layouts (DTK25-v and others). We hope to provide a more uniform layout in the future. The majority of the maps are up to date and produced within the last three years.

Why should you buy an expensive GPS device if you can install Topo GPS? Topo GPS contains all functions of a regular GPS device for less money, has a much more detailed map, and is more convenient to operate. The accuracy of the position determination is in favorable conditions about 5 m.

Ideal for walking, hiking, cycling, mountainbiking, horse-riding, geocaching, trail running and other outdoor activities. Also suited for outdoor professionals.

If you are recording a route, the GPS will run in the background. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

On an iPad and iPod touch, the location can only be determined with an accuracy of a few meters if the device contains a GPS. The iPhone always contains a GPS.

Rdzl, the company behind Topo GPS, does not obtain in any way the location of the user of Topo GPS. Rdzl does not obtain your routes and waypoints, unless you share a route with Topo GPS. Rdzl does not register which map tiles you have downloaded. We sell our product, not our user data.
