In short
US Topo Maps Pro is a map app for Android made by ATLOGIS Geoinformatics oHG. This is a great app for many people. It helps to review older trips.
Highlights
Great export features to Google maps to share tracks with others
Reliable and fun to review older trips in map view
This is the best app that I've used for recording points and tracks
This app works great for tracking you with cell service
Highly recommend the Pro Version
User friendly interface
Great maps and GPS app
Being able to select a spot get the lat long and elevation is great
Very comprehensive with very many layer options available
This map app is pretty sweet for offroad use
Usually it won't recognize the external SD memory card
It never recorded any of my backcountry hikes
Forest service roads are not marked
The first major choice our instincts told us the wrong direction
I've tried to add my own but they fail every time
Have emailed developer numerous times and receive no response
I have asked them repeatedly to reinstate it

Air Forecast 24h • Min. Air Forecast 24h USGS DRG topographic maps: The 7.5-minute maps (1:24.000/1:25.000) are the best maps for outdoor activities in the USA. Although some of the maps are quite old, they contain many small pathes and 4WD tracks that are missing in new USTopos, Google, Bing and OSM maps. DRGs (Digital Raster Graphics) were produced from 1995 to 2001 by U.S. Geological Survey. DRGs have been made for all quadrangles in the USGS map series. New US Topo Maps: US Topo maps are a graphic synthesis of The National Map data files and are produced in the familiar 7.5-minute by 7.5- minute geographic format. Current US Topo map layers include an orthoimage base, transportation, geographic names, topographic contours, boundaries, hydrography and woodlands. Also included are the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) and the United States National Grid. NAIP Orthoimagery: Seamless coverage of contiguous US with 1m/pixel resolution HRO aerial imagery: High resolution arial photos covering US urban areas and borders (up to 10cm/pixel) Use this navigation app for outdoor activities like hiking, biking, camping, climbing, riding, skiing, canoeing, hunting, offroad 4WD tours or search&rescue (SAR).
