Topo Maps+
Topo Maps+ is an offline topographic mapping and backcountry navigation app for planning routes, tracking trips, and using maps across Apple devices.
What is Topo Maps+?
Topo Maps+ is a backcountry navigation app that helps people plan routes, save waypoints, track trips, and use topographic maps without cell service. It is designed for hikers, backpackers, hunters, off-road travelers, and field teams who need reliable maps in remote areas. On Mac, it is commonly used for route planning on a larger screen, organizing folders of routes and markers, viewing elevation details, and preparing trips before heading out with a phone or watch. The app also supports map downloads for offline use, syncing across devices, and importing or exporting common GPS file formats such as GPX and KML. Topo Maps+ is available across Mac, iPhone, iPad, Android, Apple Watch, CarPlay, Apple Vision Pro, and the web, which makes it useful for workflows that start at a desk and continue in the field.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
This app’s purpose is consistent with the permissions an outdoor navigation tool may request, such as location access for positioning, route recording, and navigation. Because it can sync routes, waypoints, and other trip data across devices, review location and account settings if you use it for sensitive travel or fieldwork. Keep location access limited to the level you need, and check any shared maps, exported files, or synced data before using the app in group or professional settings.
Recommendation: Keep Topo Maps+ if you use it for hiking, route planning, offline maps, or other backcountry travel. If you no longer use it, removing the app will mainly affect your local downloads and quick access on this Mac, while any account-based data may remain available on other devices you still use.
