About AlpineQuest GPS Hiking
AlpineQuest is the complete solution for all outdoor activities and sports, including hiking, running, trailing, hunting, sailing, geocaching, off-road navigation and much more.
You can access and store locally a large range of on-line topographic maps, which will remain available even while being out of cell coverage. AlpineQuest also supports on-board file based maps, like MemoryMap(c) maps.
By using the GPS and the magnetic sensor of your device (with compass display), getting lost is part of the past: you are localized in real-time on the map, which can also be oriented to match where you are looking at.
Save and retrieve landmarks, share them with your friends. Track your path, get advanced statistics and interactive graphics. You won't have anymore questions about what you can accomplish.
By staying fully operational out of cell coverage (as often in mountain or abroad), AlpineQuest assists you in all your desires of deep wilderness exploring...

One of the best map out there. I would have put 5 stars, if the Swiss Topo maps haven't disappear, or unless I got an explanation.

It can use and locally store a variety of maps, so is great for being out walking away from data signals, or for tracking journeys made. It has many supporting functions too. It is my everyday travel companion. Check out the free version to see for yourself. Highly recommended.

All our Android phones have Alpine Quest with offline Memory Map OS files. Add an Aquapac waterproof case and you'll never need a paper map again.

Beautiful, highly detailed maps that are available in several formats, depending on the application required. Available offline makes them invaluable in the event of an emergency and cellphone service is unavailable.

Thanks a lot for this amazing app. We all using it in fighting ISIS here in Iraq. It's been a big help in sharing coordinates between the army infantry and the army aviation and the other fighting groups. I wish you develop a navigation tool for pilots within the app. The only thing is missing is the ability to sync between devices.

Had given up on being able to use my old memorymap maps on my Android phone, but then stumbled upon this app.... Brilliant, still getting used to the various options, but delighted to have OS mapping whilst cycling. Many thanks.

Awesome App ! Use it for hiking as well as finding my way around when exploring new cities. Without Alpine Quest I would be totally lost . If you like to wander but have a poor sense of direction; you need this app !

The best app I've found. It works with my unencrypted Memory Maps and will download Bing Explorer OS. (1:25,000)
