User Reviews
Having to pay for this app got to make this the worst app ever now. A lot of people used this for fire fighting and now we have to pay the greedy. Wouldn’t recommend downloading.
I used to recommend this app to basically everyone. The ability to import USGS maps was awesome, but now that’s locked behind a paywall.
Was free to upload custom pdf maps for years, now it’s behind a paywall. It’s time to abandon Avanza. Use FO Maps.
The font is so big for an iPhone. I couldn’t download and pay for nap because I couldn’t get to the bottom of the huge font.
… no longer supports uploaded maps in the free version; upgraded version is overpriced for occasional users of a single map.
Until a recent update Avenza was my favorite free mapping app. No longer. All you get now is a blue dot on whatever map you open. Nothing more. In my opinion, Gaia GPS is now the far better choice for a free version.
Don’t upload your own maps, especially if you have a free account. There’s no way to “activate” inactive maps, whatever that means. Free accounts can’t export. Effectively, the map isn’t yours.
I paid 170 bucks for pro and it expired a month later asking me to pay again. The 170 was supposed to cover a whole year and yet it barely covered a month.
I am fascinated to be able to import historic aerials into Avenza and use them to find historic sites while I am walking the area! It is accurate and easy to use! Makes the histotic aerials compatible with Google Earth!!!
I used Avenza maps for multiple elk and mule deer hunts. Loved the interface very clean tracks and waypoints. BUT!!! I saved vital tracks in, glassing spots, access around pinnacles and bluffs. Days and days of vital information for return trips. All was good for about 5 years. I went to open a map for a Nevada mule deer hunt I drew again but it would not open. When that wouldn’t open I tried all of my maps, none would open.I contacted Avenza and they told me they lost licensing for the maps which is a very common occurrence. Not only would the maps not open, I could not retrieve any of the data as in tracks and waypoints as they were only saved to that map. Very disappointed. Like I said I love the interface but I cannot trust Avenza with anything long term.
It is difficult to find the map I’m looking for.
Free version used to limit users to 3 imported custom maps at a time. Recently they fully removed this feature. I used to pay for subscription when I needed it, but never will again. Poor choices!!
