Good, reliable app I use this for deer hunting. I have my deer stands marked and the trails around the property. I use it extensively for navigating through the woods. I rely on it.
just navigate Memory maps does just what you want it to do. It does not try to get you to join social groups for competitive hiking. I can get topo maps and nautical charts, and when I am crossing a bridge, I can switch to nautical and see the water depth! You can set waypoints before a hike and save recorded tracks.
Nav & Log I've been using Memory Map for a few years now, and have found it easy to use, very handy for navigation, and also ideal for logging trips. I usually take friends along when I'm on the water, and keep the logging function active so that at the end of the day, I can do a screen grab of the trip and email them a record of it - which they always appreciate and enjoy sharing with others!
Good pocket navigator I use MM for sailing, in conjunction with other navigation tools. Never trust your boat & crew's safety to one method of determining your fix, but having said that, MM is a good nav program to have in your pocket.
Long term user I've used this app for many years now and it is my go to navigation aid. It is feature rich and does take some learning. Part of the learning is understanding what it is good at and what it is not so good at. It makes 180° errors too. U need a separate compass as a backup and sanity check. U can't rely on the 'navigate to' waypoint using the inbuilt compass and red/green arrow alone. You can't enter lat/long and zoom to that map point. Some of the route functions are a bit clunky. You can access tops maps for much of the planet and you can find your way. I've tried 3 or 4 others but this is the best and they keep improving it. Sometimes that's glitzy stuff that looks interesting but doesn't really impact but also things that make a difference. Highly recommended.

Map Great
Love it This app is extremely simple you will need to spend some time to familiarize yourself on its operations but it couldn't be simpler. I've actually started use it as a go between when doin research for reef fishing or as a backup and have had to use it as such. Total life saver and worth every penny. Would like to have additional offshore maps and inshore maps with increased detailed overlays.
just a tool to sell maps Terrible! Complete waste of time for boat navigation in us waters.
Works great I use several navigation apps, and this is my favorite.
Must have I bought this app a few weeks before a charter in St Pete. I was able to browse around the area and gain a comfort level from 500 Miles away. During the charter my phone spent a majority of the time sitting on top of the screen of the nice color chart plotter that was mounted on the boat. I found my phone was easier to read, much more responsive, and the screen was only a tiny bit smaller. One added perk, I was posting pictures of my trip on Facebook in real time. With this being on my iPhone I was able to take screenshots of the app so I could show friends where we were and how fast we were going with just a couple of clicks. Over all, very cool!

“Extremely confusing to say the very least and a waste of my money.”
“I wanted offline maps at all detail levels and no yearly fee for using this.”
“Maps are bothersome to download (can't bundle download an area at all zoom levels) support is horrible, come to find out it doesn't work with wifi only models.”

“I also had conventional navigation charts but this works so well as a simple chart-plotter that I seldom looked at the paper charts.”
“Love it This app is extremely simple you will need to spend some time to familiarize yourself on its operations but it couldn't be simpler.”
“Navigation features work really well and I was able to design several routes right off the bat.”
“You can get USA marine charts for free from NOAA's download site.”
“But for ~$20 or so per map region I don't think it's that unreasonable though.”
