Bushwalk Australia

Hey guys! The title really says it all. Some friends and I are headed off on a long (7-10 day) trip. During that time we'll be in the-middle-of-nowhere and I really want to try and track our walks as best I can, but more importantly know that I have a back up plan in case my map skills fail me.

Can anyone recommend a good iPhone app for this? I am not worried much about money (under $100), I just need to know I can rely on it.

Features I'd like

• Full offline maps
• Ideally high quality topographical maps
• Setting and remembering waypoints easily
• Tracking of the walk (i.e. mapping it out)

MotionX is quite highly regarded, I believe. I have an android phone so I use a different app, but MotionX should be able to do all the things you are after. See: http://gps.motionx.com/iphone/

I use a dedicated GPS but a few people i know swear by the MapOut App;

The 3D display is very effective.

I assume you know there's not enough battery juice in the iPhone to support GPS track logging over the 7 days. You'll need a solution to recharge. Otherwise, MotionX-GPS is a good app for the purpose. You can download OSM tiles for user defined area. Galileo Pro is another interesting one that I'm checking out of recent.

Maps3D - gorgeous 3d topo maps, waypoints, poi, tracking, import tracks, route planning, offline map data.

Ron, how do you find the speed of 3D rendering in Maps 3D app? Personally I find it sluggish on a 6 and not very pleasant in practical use. Otherwise, it's pretty.

It's a bit sluggish using the global online map but works fine with downloaded maps.

Ok, I'll download and give it a go again.
