topo50
+1 for Topo50 is only $6 or $7 for the whole north or South Island downloaded onto your phone, so can use when their is no service.
Could you post a link for its download? I'm not used to Smart phones, so want to make sure I am getting the correct one?
Thanks.
Topo 50 is good.
but this is better.

Thanks, and sorry? (Totally new to smart phones).
If you search up topo maps on the Google play store you should find it. I think is costs around 20 bucks. I like this app because it has a reallygood track function, unlimited waypoints and I can load good aerial imagery for it. You just need to make sure you zoom in on the area you are going on the wifi at home. The other mP app mention has the entire North or South Island downloaded onto your phone but lacks the functionality in my opinion.
Think it’s $20 /year for the pro version..worth it though.
pretty sure it just a one off purchase
Second that. I like to record my day trips to see the distance I've covered (10kms over 12 hours yesterday) I also got a version on my home pc so i can send a route to the wife and text "10.02 at waypoint 6" or whatever when i have signal. The waypoints function is good too for marking wallows and deer beds etc.Quote:

Per year. 38 cents a week or 5c a day works for meQuote:

We’ll I’ll be the odd one out. Had the Atlogis NZ Topo map on phone but it pissed me off one to many times loading maps and have gone back to using NZ Topo50. Does everything I need. Zooms in plenty close enough, can show satellite image, records tracks ok and records plenty of waypoints. Can waypoint multiple traps and trap lines, animals culled,points of interest etc. When I get home I just download onto Google Earth Pro and save. Can also work the other way or work in tandem with Memory-Map. Happy with my setup, just my 2c.
I also use NZ topo50 with Memory map at home, gives me the best of both worlds and data is stored on my laptop and not in the cloud
