About Canada Topo

Canada Topo is designed to display the National Topographic System (NTS) grid for Canada and display topographic maps published by the government. It also acts as a basic GPS, offering tracking and waypoint functions as well as GPX/KML export. Search for addresses and cities, measure areas and distances, and easily view locations in Google Earth, Google Maps, or other maps applications. Because this app downloads and stores topographic maps on local storage, topo maps are available for offline use.

Topographic maps are large images, so this app may run slowly on older phones. Long press the map to get started downloading maps!

Awesome app for offline adventures, the only two things I would like to see are the ability to download larger sections of map at a time and a scale overlay that can be toggled on/off. Wait, I lied, two more things - a compass display tied to phone compass or gps and a legend for reference and teaching. Thanks for the great app!

The only time i can see the topo lines is when i am zooming in and out. As soon as i remove both fingers to stop zooming, the topo lines disappear. I have tried changing the few settings available and all the different map types. It simply doesnt work!

This works well as a map but I'm having a problem with recording tracks. No matter what I set it to, it only records track points every 5 minutes. This is too long for the trails I am looking to record. It would be better to have one every 15 to 30 seconds since I'm using it while four wheeling.

Love the app, not a complaint but a wish that I could store downloads on my SD card. Haven't figured out how to display the coordinates yet either, probably just me missing something obvious.

HTC M8: I downloaded many maps — 10015 files (770 maps, 1,770MB) of the Arctic Cordillera and all was well until today when I started the app and no topo maps would display. The grid will, and the regular map, hybrid, sat and terrain display — but no topos. All the setting were configured appropriately.

It was good until the last update then now it crashes when I try to export data. Very unfortunate. Was 4 stars for sure. Will change if the problem is fixed.

Works great. Maps are always there when you need them. Great to have along on any hike or canoe trip.

I like this idea and the look of the maps but I can't get the terrain to show while under any useful zoom

I often want to get an approximate straight line distance between two points. Seems like you can give me that info fast, and for free. I will send you something to support your efforts.

Works well but random lines (tracks) will appear half way across the Atlantic when recording a track in Northern Ontario...

Excellent, use instead of paper maps. Particularly like that I can store a map in memory and so still use it when I'm outside phone coverage. And it still shows my current position.

by M####:

Not very detailed. Many names not listed. No actual topo lines. Rudimentary.

F70%
by F####:

Topo lines dissappear when zoomed in to a layer that I'd normally use...

What's the point of an app with topo maps that does not show topo lines?

I live remotely and now I have offline maps of my whole area. Thanks

Works well no ads. Why can't more apps be like this

DOWNLOAD MAPS by zooming to area desired, then pressing and holding on that area ("long press").

You can download topo maps for offline use with no restrictions! Unlike others where you have to pay to be able to download maps that are already paid by our tax dollars and freely available.
