Nearly Great

I love having up to 500 USGS topo maps available on my iPad. Currently I have around 200 maps downloaded which covers all of the Sierras and the SF bay area that I am interested in. Next I will download southern Utah topos for when I hike then in two months.

The topo maps are are copies of the current USGS maps and are as current as the official maps are. If the maps are old, complain to the USGS. The topography has not changed but roads and trails may be out of date. For the maps that I have compared I can not see any difference between the iHikeGPS maps and the original, printed USGS maps.

Why not 5 stars?

I would like to be able to see more than one map at a time. I was expecting that I would see seamless maps while scrolling just like I can with their other product, MacGPS Pro. Instead I need to double tap in the area of the new map, which then gets displayed while the old map disappears.

Next, downloading many maps is more cumbersome than necessary. I was hoping to draw a box over the areas where I would like to download multiple maps. Or at least a que where I could select multiple maps to download. Instead I must pick them out one at a time.
