How does it work? Clicked every button - not working map, just white screen. Useless…

Love the versatility of this application for managing timber stands to burn units.

Very good tools for skiing and hiking with flexibility to import data from multiple sources, share maps, add photos or whatever. Not as “cool” looking as other maps and there might be a single feature (mapped avy danger) CT doesn’t have, but guessing it will be available as a layer at some point or some dork will figure it out and make it available.

Whenever I open a map, the app just goes to the last place I was on the map, not the location of the map I’m using. App has a very poor interface.

The more I use this app, the more I appreciate the power and customization. Whether building big mountain bike linkups or planning a backcountry ski tour, CalTopo is my go-to app.

It would be awesome to have some CarPlay integration. I use this whenever I’m on the ground but would love to see my stuff on the screen on the way to project.

The maps are decent, but they are from OSM and many free apps use them too. The colour scheme is ugly, the app is buggy, the interface is bad and when you try to delete your account it returns a server error which I find hilarious after all the other issues.
