AccuTerra On-Demand is your one-stop GPS outdoor recreation app with terrain, trail, and ski area maps designed for the iPhone, encompassing over five million square miles. These are not shrunken USGS maps that were made to print in 2 foot paper sheets; AccuTerra HD maps are TRIPLE the zoom level and contain the most recent trail and public land data available, optimized for your iPhone. Comparable recreation maps for expensive dedicated GPS units can cost hundreds in additional fees – AccuTerra gives you access to millions of square miles at a fraction of the price.
PLEASE NOTE!! AccuTerra is an “In-App” storefront with premium (paid) products for sale within it. The app is free to download and provides a free on-demand AccuTerra sample of over 100 square miles. If you like your free maps, you may then buy access to the rest of your state for a very reasonable price.
Maps are quickly downloaded and stored into the device’s memory – select Grid mode to get ~50 square miles at a time of your free sample maps. Once you’ve tried your sample data, select your whole state for one low price. Or choose from over 350 defined recreation areas in the AccuTerra catalog. AccuTerra provides an accurate GPS location, on beautiful color maps, wherever you have clear line of sight to the sky…even if you’re hundreds of miles from the nearest cell signal. Choose from over 220,000 miles of trails, thousands of trailheads, campgrounds, picnic areas — it’s the ONLY app available that displays all major public land boundaries.

* U.S.A. HD coverage is the contiguous United States (the ‘lower 48’) and does not include Alaska. Our apologies to Alaska and its visitors -the cost to produce maps is prohibitive; it’s just too darn big and most of it is remote. We hope to include the great state of Alaska sometime in the future.
Ski Area Data is provided through SnowRanger™ by Mountain Dynamics. Intermap Technologies and Mountain Dynamics are not affiliated with any ski area operator.
NOTE: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Customer Reviews
Essential for the outside enthusiast
I do not understand how this only has 2 stars. If you do anything outside..hiking, mtn biking, etc...I challenge you o find an app that let's you download such quality maps for around 99 cents. These maps are super detailed. This map has save me countless times biking/hiking in Oregon. I don't use the tracking feature so I can't comment on that.
Don't bother
Don't bother downloading this app if you live outside California. I'm just glad I found out they don't have maps for my area before I had to pay for it.
The maps look great but... (Revised review)
Problems getting this to work initially (No GPS). Eventually went to their website and read though their FAQs regarding other user problems and corrected the problem; however, the error message the app provided could be clarified for people who are not expert in all iphone functions and features.
The following may also be poblems if you want to use this for extended and off-trail hikes:
It seems to be a juice hog, going throught 80% of my battery reserve in less than 3 hours.
The "bread crumbs" feature is just Ok. For me a real-time track plot line on the map would be more helpful..
If there is a real-time elevation profile feature i haven't found it., although there is a profile graph view availble after you save and retrieve the hike.
Its not clear if the local trail maps are included (no extra charge) if you upgrade to the "Unlimted" version. For $2.99 i will give it a try.
I still like the 3-D overview (Grid) maps,
