GPS on ski map by Maprika App Reviews

Great app, Ive used it for skiing and hiking. This app is better than the app from my ski resort because I can see where I went on a map.

Amazing app! I first discovered this before a ski trip to Vail. My friends and I were able to download the resort map and find each other easily. Helps great if you get separated or finding out how far friends are from lunch. I also use on bike rallies and it is amazingly simple to upload and align custom maps to google maps.

Every mountain Ive skied in the last 5 years is included. Awesome app!

I spent about 6 hours with this app running, and my group all found it to work very well. Though it tracks your GPS, it does not drain your battery. I have found it to be one of the best apps I have ever purchased. I would like to point out that it is not just for ski maps, but also for places like Six Flags Great America, and Disney land/world. They also connect you to Apple Maps which can show your location anywhere in the world. If anyone is looking to GPS track a group so you aren’t split up, or trying to find a place to meet, this app is perfect for all situations. Hope your experience was as great as mine!

Perfect app for trail maps overlaying with gps

Fantastically useful. Take any illustrated map (not just ski), teach it to the GPS, and find your position on it without any signal strength. Got us through Yellowstone with zero bars of signal.

Simple to use and customize: download the mapping tool from the maprika site, find a good map, convert it to .JPG, align points like intersections and forks you see on your map (on the left side of the editor) with what Google maps sees (on the right side of the editor). Once updated, publish the map for others to download. Be sure to turn off your cellular network because this tool uses GPS, but it does need cellular to see others (friends in your group youve invited). Great app, I swear by it, have no concerns about exploring without getting lost or how to see whats next. Btw; even works on hand drawn maps! Carson National Forest - El Camino Real district users check out my map (named accordingly), its spot on accurate (East of NM 518 and West of 434, south of NM 64)

This app is amazing!!!! We use it for metal detecting to locate old home sites and old roads from 1800s maps. The uses for this app is endless. The real power comes in importing your own maps on the computer. If there was only one bad thing... It eats the battery when on constantly updating the GPS but that is with any app using that function I think. I just turn if off after referencing location.

I often go hiking where there is no cellular coverage. With Maprika, I can still track where I am on the trail map and it works great. I really like that I can add my own maps if theyre not already in collection. Cant wait to try this app (and find friends feature) when skiing at sugar bowl as soon as snow comes.

I finally found the perfect app I have been looking for!!! I have been hiking and biking at several parks and have not found a way to overlay the official park trail map with my current location. That is UNTIL NOW! I cant believe I didnt find this before. A must have for the outdoor explorer type.

I absolutely love being able to track my location over a photo of a map or even google maps. Great for skiing tracking your trails, time, and speed. I think its an absolute must have!

The app is great for backpacking since it lets you create offline maps to use when you dont have a wifi or cell signal. Its also great for running since you can create a track of your route on a map and see useful information about your rout like total distance travelled, average speed and more. Has lots of other features too. Highly recommend.

Very useful for keeping track of others on the slopes. Its a godsend.

I love that I can make my own maps - even if not to scale. it just works!

Used to work great. Now maps fail at the most opportune time (when you need them and dont have great data service on the mountain).
