WHAT OTHERS SAY

“This app saved my life! * * * * *

This app was downloaded, while lost in the Kaimai Ranges. GPS quickly located position, app quickly (ish) downloaded the relevant NZ topo map. From there easily identified position on the map. Outcome, life saved. And my mates who by this stage was getting all girly about it all. Best app ever!!!” - Jk9624 on the UK App Store

“I have used your ihike app for many years tramping in NZ. It is fantastic and absolutely the best off line navigation app out there.” - Paul, a internationally-known documentary film maker in Wanaka, New Zealand

iHikeGPS NZ : LINZ Topo Maps 9.4.3 Update
2023-10-24
I use iHikeGPS on trails daily. I'm continually improving it so it will be even more useful! With this version you can include both waypoints and routes in a single GPX file. Plus we've added many iPad human interface enhancements.

What's new in iHikeGPS NZ compared with other available New Zealand topo map apps?

• Real Navigation Power: Unlike other apps that simply display waypoints and routes a map, iHikeGPS NZ empowers you to do real navigation to those waypoints and along those routes while receiving crucial information such as Estimated Time of Arrival, current bearing, and remaining distance and elevation gain to intermediate and final destinations. Use iHikeGPS NZ when you are on the trail and away from cell service.

• You can view an elevation graph of your tracks and your routes with waypoints, speed and % grade shown on it.

• You can create, import, edit, and navigate both on routes based on a recorded or imported path, and on routes based on a series of waypoints.

• There is never any confusion over what maps you have available offline. They are clearly listed and shown on an overview map.

• Includes 250K scale topo maps for Australia with no additional charge.

• iHikeGPS NZ' s code size is kept very small by efficient programming so in an emergency, you can download it easily even over a weak cell connection.

• The current version of iHikeGPS NZ runs on the latest devices and also on older devices with older versions of iOS , all the way back to devices such as the iPhone 6.

• Check the App Privacy section. We don't know who you are when you are using iHikeGPS NZ. We never send your current location or your recorded track to our servers. Hence we cannot and don't use your location data. We cannot and don't provide your location data to anyone else. Unlike other mapping apps that profit from using your location data in ways that do not keep it private, iHikeGPS NZ maintains the highest level of data confidentially.

• You may have heard about some apps which use your location to function, but then upload that location data to a server so they can sell your location data to other individuals, advertisers and companies. We never do that, and guarantee that we won't in our privacy policy. There is no registration or subscription process, so we have no idea who you are. iHikeGPS NZ never sends your current location, your tracks, your waypoints, or your routes to our servers. You are our customer. We don't and never will have any third party data collection companies as customers. We collect nothing that would be useful to them. iHikeGPS NZ never sends any information to or receives any information from the Internet unless you specifically ask it to (for example to download a map). Your privacy is completely safe when you use iHikeGPS NZ.
