I used ViewRanger, which was an excellent app to get access to downloaded offline IGN maps (the whole social network buddy stuff does not interest me at all but that's OK, you don't need to use it). Unfortunately ViewRanger is no more, sold out to another app that is worse. IGN Rando is the obvious one to use instead. Have downloaded it but use will be limited until the possibility to download maps on an SD card becomes available. For anyone designing ths kind of software, do realize that just where you need topo maps, in the outdoors, connection to a 4G data network is often bad or non existent. So you really need preloaded maps of a fairly large area, and that is just too much data for the phone's internal memory (unless you have a very expensive phone with huge internal storage, and even then, if you also need to store pictures and videos etc. there, it still fills up). Keeping maps on an SD card is way better. Once it has that option I'll give it more stars...

Thank you for your message Frank. Saving maps on an SD card is already available in the beta version of the app, and it will be available in the normal version by the end of the week. You can contact us at ignrando@ubicarta.com if needed. Kind regards.

Sluggish, crashes very often, very bad UI. After downloading the maps and using offline mode it takes forever to draw the map when zooming in. The only positive thing is the actual content of the official IGN maps, I wish this content was be available in a properly developed and designed app. I'm not confident relying on this app for navigation in remote mountains.

A great app when it works. 2 problems I have had.... 1 I cannot stop the route guidance once started. Only way was to restart the phone! 2 creating a route no longer traces the path to the roads or tracks and just does straight lines! I did pay for the subscription for the maps and the routing functionality but they need to be fixed please.
