Interesting but it looks like the one iOS client for Mobac is geared towards vector maps, not the satellite imagery.

- maxerickson 12y agoAs far as I know, mobac is only for raster. The app mentioned in a sibling comment supports the tile maps: https://galileo-app.com/manual.html#offline_maps https://galileo-app.com/manual.html#offline_maps I guess it would at least be fine for visualization.
- stevesearer 12y agoI use Gaia GPS for my backcountry hikes which is available for iOS/Android. You can download a variety of topo maps and aerial photos ahead of time in a particular area and load them when out of cell service. http://blog.gaiagps.com/ http://blog.gaiagps.com/ https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/gaia-gps-topo-maps-trails/id329127297 https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/gaia-gps-topo-maps-trails/id... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.trailbehind.android.gaiagps.pro&hl=en https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.trailbehin... The only issue I'm still trying to figure out when using my phone is how to disable the cell antenna with the GPS antenna still activated to conserve battery. There is also Backcountry Navigator which has similar features but is only available for Android devices: http://backcountrynavigator.com/ http://backcountrynavigator.com/
