Thread: NZ topo maps on phone /gps with free with no cell coverage.

I've had NZ topo work under trees and down the bottom of valleys. It depends more on the phone than the app to get the GPS signal.

Remember to load all the maps beforehand and switch to 'airplane mode' when it the bush to save battery, or your phone won't last half a day if its trying to get a cell signal. GPS shuld still work ok.

great app!

Been a bit of chat on the other forum about this exact thing.
