App Description

We have moved from Topo GPS Belgium 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 Belgium can still be used, but will receive no more updates.

Makes from your iPhone/iPad a complete GPS device including a route planner based on the detailed Cartoweb topographic map from Belgium. The maps can be saved on your iPhone/iPad, 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 device? 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.

You can easily select the desired map parts from an overhead view. For larger sections discounts will be applied. Purchases are made available on all devices that share the same iCloud account.

It is also possible to buy a one-year subscription which gives access to the complete map of Belgium.

Ideal for walking, hiking, cycling, mountainbiking, sailing, horse-riding, geocaching, scouting, trail running and other outdoor activities. Can also be used by outdoor professionals such as biologists.

Rdzl, the company behind Topo GPS, does not obtain in any way the position of the user of Topo GPS. Rdzl does also not obtain the routes recorded by the user, and save the routes planned by the user, unless the route is shared with Topo GPS. We sell our product, not our user data.
