NZ Topo50 South Island

Offline LINZ topographic maps for New Zealand's South Island with routes and track recording.

Our take

Strong fit for carrying regional map coverage

Base maps install with the app rather than requiring trail-by-trail caching.

Keep in mind: Live sharing and weather need connectivity; GPS logging consumes battery and maps require judgement outdoors.

  • Track recording and elevation profiles

Good for

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 16.6.
  • Live sharing and weather need connectivity; GPS logging consumes battery and maps require judgement outdoors.

Privacy & permissions

Location tracks and live sharing reveal movements; choose recording and sharing deliberately.
