MapOut

Easy to use, no irritating subscriptions, no unnecessary features. Doesn’t distract. Makes exploring any area anywhere in the world a joy. It is my go-to navigation app when hiking or cycling. Works even flight-mode to safe battery and no incoming calls! Also great to browse and dream when you can’t sleep.

The map is very nicely rendered compared to many other apps in this category. Sometimes I wouldn’t mind a little more contrast - especially in bright sunlight. But generally the map is very readable with some nice attention to details. For example “tours” (what MapOut calls recorded and planned tracks) gain some transparency when zoomed to a certain level so that the underlying map can be seen.
In the Netherlands, all the cycle routes and knooppunten are shown clearly.
One disappointment is that when I pan the map it takes a second to draw which is a shame compared to other apps which have the tiles already rendered so there’s no delay after scrolling. It’s better if I “flick” the map rather than drag, but still a bit odd to see this behaviour in 2023.
Search is limited to place names and streets. Forget about searching for categories like “groceries” or “bike shop”. Even searching for a specific numbered street address or postcode isn’t supported.
I had to refer to the manual to workout how to draw routes, but it works well now that I’m used to it. The manual mentions a long press gesture to place waypoints but this doesn’t work for me since long press is zoom out. I’d actually prefer on-screen zoom buttons for one handed use.
Unfortunately there isn’t any kind of syncing or automatic backup of your tracks. But It is possible to make a manual export to gpx.

MapOut is top of the bill. The maps are 100 reliable and the userinterface vers good. I did several wraking and cycling tracks in the Netherlands, Spain, Italy, France, Switzerland and Germany. Always top. The feature of creating own tracks with vertical route information is super

Good and easy to use app for planning your cycling routes. Would be nice if it were possible to directly save or import GPX-files without using e-mail.

Very nicely organized app to navigate and work with your own tours and waypoints. Very easy to import and export data. No need to ever look for a better application to work with GPX files!
Still hoping for some more options for GPX files with several tracks. Now such a file is handled as one track when - for example - Hide all other tours is choosen in the menu. I never got an answer on my suggestions by email.

Download the map pieces you need and you will have all the data, very detailed. Send your own GPX file, search for campings and even the routeplanner wil find a nice path for you, avoiding the highway.

Deze App is 1 van de allerbeste die je kunt gebruiken voor fietsen, hiken, wandelen enz. Prima aan te passen en zeer gedetailleerde gegevens.

Easy to use gps-app for hiking or just taking a stroll. Usualy I upload predefined .gpx routes that I plan to do. But a lot of times I use it as a trail recorder when I'm just wandering.
Map downloads are free and blazingly fast.
The only thing I'm missing is an Apple Watch companion app.

Ik gebruik de app nu al zeker 4 jaar om te wandelen en te hiken. Superhandig om vooraf een route te kunnen maken en een inschatting te krijgen van het stijgen en dalen en de moeilijkheidsgraad. Door van de voren de olattegrond te kunnen downloaden is er niet tot nauwelijks data nodig tijdens de wandeling. Dus zelfs zonder goed bereik werkt het uitstekend.
Super tevreden!

One of the best apps I have ever used. Powerful and user interface that makes sense.

Download maps of the whole world and it works offline. Great feature. The maps is clear and the predefined tours are great. Making a route is not the most intuitive but finding your way when a bit or more lost is easy with the detailed maps.

The nicest option of this app is that you can draw your waypoints in the map. That is very handy. It also gives an estimated time for your hike. And a lot more.

Ben als hiker en biker al jaren fervent gps liefhebber van losse units wegens de mogelijkheden en betrouwbaarheid. Tevens gebruik ik de laatste jaren diverse route apps op de smartphone. Deze app op een goede telefoon maakt echter een heleboel, bijna, overbodig. Eenvoudig in gebruik, super met in- en export van gpx files. Gedetailleerde actuele kaarten en zuinig met energie. Bied veel voor weinig geld. Topper!

Very nicely organized app to navigate and work with your own tours and waypoints. Very easy to import and export data. No need to ever look for a better application to work with GPX files!

I have used and tried different apps. I came across this app on Cyclingabout.com from Alee Denham. This is by far the most user-friendly app for planning a route. The app has a simple and user-friendly display. The dashboard should display a little more information such as average speed. What I do miss is that the speeds for the planner cannot be set. 4 km / h is much too slow for me on flat terrain. The speed is also too slow for bicycles at 15 km. Planning based on nodes, but especially navigating with nodes for bicycle route network or walking network, is better with the Topo GPS app.
The map layers are generated from Opensteetmaps. The advantage of these maps is that they are regularly updated. But sometimes important details such as routes or small paths are still missing. For the Netherlands, for example, the topographic maps such as these in Topo GPS are much more detailed.
In short, great beautiful app easy to work with. For me, this is one to keep.

For all travelors looking for adventure and want to create, record and store tracks and waypoints. An amazing app which is user friendly, innovative and beautiful designed interface and map layout.
This is the one-stop app for all your mapping and tracking needs!

Importeren van gpx files, geen toeters en bellen en haarscherp beeld. Geeft precies de richting aan van de wandelrichting + de afstand en de resterende afstand van de route. De route omgekeerd lopen, Het downloaden van offline kaarten enz. Daarom voor mij 5 sterren.

Very complete GPS-app for hiking & biking. The free Open Street maps load quite fast.
Operation while walking is straight forward, but uses relatively much battery power ('juicepack' recommend).
Management of the routes takes a bit of study, but supports in the end the building of a very rewarding collection.
