Swiss Pro Map Examine App

Application satisfaisante. Toutefois les cartes sont inférieures a celles de lIGN (iphigenie) ne serait- ce que par le prix ( plus élevé). En revanche, elles restent en mémoire dans le téléphone et cest bien pratique. Un autre bémol: les chemins de rando sont vendus a part. Je nai pas encore testé les tracés, mais contrairement a iphigenie, le GPS patine avec cette application: il mettait parfois 10mn a trouver la position!

Désolé mais le GPS ne fonctionne pas je narrive pas à me positionner, je ne veux pas attendre 10 minutes!!! Pour moi il a un problème....

Bien meilleur que ce que lon peut trouver en france, sans hold up mensuel, ici vous achetez le secteur qui vous interesse une fois pour toute et hop, en mémoire.... Vous pouvez compléter par un volume de dalle ou dautres secteurs. Que ce soit sur Ipad ou Iphone, je ne regrette pas mon achat malgrés le prix ; mais si j avais du acheter ne serait ce que 10 cartes au 1/25 000 pour planifier mes randos.... Le choix est vite fait. Fan de Suisse, de rando et de carto, nhésitez plus... Vous en rêviez ? Et bien comme dhab ! ce nest pas lIGN qui la fait. Et cest tant mieux.

Attention : si vous chargez des dalles de cartes ce qui est une option déjà chère , et que vous devez réinitialiser votre iPhone (cest ce qui mest arrivé), alors tout est perdu et vous devez racheter des dalles. Beaucoup plus cher que lIGN français qui se contente dune licence annuelle de 14€ pour toute la France contre 75€ pour UN SEUL secteur suisse.

On paye lapp pour se rendre compte que lon ne peut pas lutiliser sans débourser encore min 70 € pour pouvoir utiliser une carte!! App à éviter.

oui mais une carte necessaire au fonctionnement du logiciel vous en coutera ensuite $89 par region !!!

For $34, I was able to unlock all 1/25k topographic maps covering a large area for hiking near Interlaken, including the Eiger, Jungfrau, and other areas nearby, along with hiking trails and Swiss Mobility information about public transit, lodging, and points of interest. All of the information is available for offline use, including train, tram, and bus schedules, and can take advantage of my iPad's GPS capabilities. An equivalent amount of paper information would cost considerably more, be much less convenient, and offer much less functionality. The product would be vastly improved by the addition of some basic documentation, but I was able to figure it out in about 20 minutes anyway.

This app is basically useless without buying the maps of the regions. This should be more clearly explained. That being the case, why does the basic app cost money? When you keep zooming in the map freezes and it doesn't let you zoom out again

The app is great - a clever panoramic view (useful in a mountainous country), nice screen transitions. Maps are good - directly equivalent to UK Ordnance Survey or NZ Topo maps. However, the fee structure is terrible - *extremely* expensive maps, and very opaque pricing until you buy the apps. (And yes, 'this is Switzerland', but the pricing is 10x the cost in the UK or NZ.)

Does not work unless you purchase for lots of money the map tiles

This is a very good app, but it would be a really bad idea to buy it without first going to the Swisstopo website to see what you were getting. As some reviewers noted, for the base price you get only the basic app and a single demonstration map, and the map "tiles" are indeed expensive. However, you end up with beautiful high-resolution maps of the section of Switzerland that you want, the application has many of the usual GPS features (current location, track), and the panoramic view and "augmented reality" have great possibilities, though I haven't tried them yet. If you want electronic maps of Switzerland that reside inside your device instead of "out there" on the Internet, I think this is the only way to go.

Not impressed by the fee structure. I am almost 30$ in and now I have to figure what a tile credit is, and buy more to use the maps I thought I bought. I went on one 8 mile walk and used 420 tiles. I can't see how I used my tile credit and now I suspect I was debited multiple times for the same tile. That seems wrong considering how much everything is. I doubt I will use or recommend this app to anyone.

nicely done, but the economic model is bad. the app is very limited without additional very expensive in-app purchases (close to $700 for covering all of switzerland), so it definitely should be free. if you play a little after installing it, you will exhaust your limit and then the app is completely useless without spending a lot more monely. a well-done app, but the economic model is wrong. the app itself should be free instead of having to pay for the trial phase.

These are the best topo maps I have ever had the pleasure of using. The detail and clarity are great. The app makes it easy (not cheap, but you pay for convenience, and besides, this is switzerland) to access these maps. The interface has a few oddities, and more color might not be amiss, but I think these are great maps. The biggest downside is that they aren't available elsewhere!

crashes a lot.

3.01 crashes while downloading tiles. At approx. 8,000 tiles the app crashes and has to be restarted. 3.0 had no problems downloading all tiles at once. Please fix the download bug in 3.01. Thank you very much. (Using iPhone 4, iOS 4.1.)

This is one the worst application I ever bought. It is extremely slow, and the user interface is atrocious. Gestures do not work as expected, scrolling and zooming almost always result in unwanted moves. The routing feature is a joke. Oh, but for the hype factor it includes "augmented reality". And of course the maps and data are very expensive. A shame to put such expensive information in such a terrible app.
