GPS on ski map by Maprika App Reviews

GPS is totally inaccurate for Whistler

Works awesome at Whistler. Very handy.

Added so much fun to our trip at Tremblant for keeping track of our runs and locating friends. Hope more trail map will be available.

Ive been using this to record our mountain bike trail rides on custom base maps. Its great. One thing I wish it could do is play back the tracks to sort of relive the rides. I can do that with the exported file to Google Earth but cant slow down the replay speed as much as I would like.

best offline gps map available! wish there was a way to post more custom pins or POIs on the map.

This used to be a great app, but it hasnt been updated in years! Not sure why they abandoned the app, its really a shame!

I uploaded a few local trail maps and now on hikes I know exactly where I am. This is great.

First app Ive ever rated. I was skeptical but tries this out anyway. It didnt have anyplace near me loaded at first so I sent a request for a state park I was going to go camping at. The next day I had the park map loaded on my phone and used it all weekend at the park. When I went out of the country I was going to visit an attraction and they too had a map. Sent a request to add this one and was able to get that map loaded as well. Was able to see where I was on the map without having to use a data connection while roaming overseas. Very quick to respond to requests; very useful tool.

Very cool app. Love the way it works. I can see this becoming very popular.

They didnt have a map I wanted so I requested it and within a week it was added. That is customer service.

Im giving it three because its probably the best trail guide you get for free. It doesnt locate you to well but it does try. It is nice to be able to download the map for a trail instead of unfolding one. The maps are the maps you can find at the parks info center. Its downloaded from online

I requested the San Diego Convention Center map for the 2011 Esri User Conference be put up as one of their available maps for download. Maprika was very prompt. The original map was a 2-page pdf, and they put both pages into the download. The map functioned pretty well, and it was easier to pan around using Maprika than using the pdf version. Of course, since the convention center is two floors, the gps had trouble inside the building, but it usually placed my dot on the correct side and end of the complex, which helped me navigate around this large complex. It would be nice if the app could somehow tap in to wifi for indoor navigation, but I was very happy with the functionality overall. Great Job, Maprika!

You can pre download maps, ask them to load maps you would like to have and you can upload your own. Then you can use the GPS on the iPhone to follow where you are! Great for hiking in the woods!

I emailed these guys Wednesday and they had a map ready Friday. Based on that alone I give them 5. Cant wait to use it on my next run. Thanks!

Really great app. Asked for the addition of a new map and they turned it around in less than a day! I cant believe this is free!

Great app! I requested a ski map and it was added on no time. Highly recommended.

Love this app. I use it before I go hiking or biking - download the map from the parks website, click a number of spots to set the anchors, and youve got an incredibly useful live map. Great job guys.

Accurate, easy to use, does not crash. This is the 1% of apps.

Went to Vail for a ski trip 1st week of February and app worked beautifully! Everyone in the group downloaded this to keep track of our location if and when we got separated. In fact, one person lost their cell phone while we went off trail and another person was able to use Maprika to located the spot where he thought he lost his phone. The only drawback was that we all programmed the map to update our locations every 5 minutes and our friend who lost his phone programmed it to turn off when he closed the app (to save battery life). Fortunately he really just left it at a coffee shop at the base and the lost and found called the 1st number on redial, but having access to a map to guide us back up the lifts and down the mountain again to where he thought it was dropped was great. So with that being said, this app is great... however Im disappointed because we have been requesting a map for over a month now and Maprika has still failed to provide our request. Im not sure why everyone elses request has been so promptly added?

Would be useful if you could add/create a map with a PDF file instead of a poor quality picture of a map. As is this is a fairly useless app. Again. Great concept. Just doesnt work very well. I loaded a map, set an anchor point and started moving. I was going north but when i tried to check my position on the map a while later it said I was so far south I was off the map. I tried to set another anchor point but I cant tell if theyre cumulative or if adding a second erases the first. After adding 3 anchor points (or at least changing it a couple times) it was still getting my location very wrong. Disappointing.
