App Description

Makes from your iPhone/iPad a complete GPS device with the detailed topographic map of New Zealand from LINZ. Viewed maps will be stored on your device so that Topo GPS can also be used without an internet connection.

Why should you buy an expensive GPS device if you can install Topo GPS on your iPhone/iPad? 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.
