I LOVE navigating with @TopoMaps and my Apple Watch Ultra. We navigated down this rock shoot from Chikamin Ridge. I was constantly checking my watch while holding onto rocks to know when to turn so that we did drop too low in the shoot.
Experimenting with a ChatGPT plugin for @TopoMaps. It is fun having it analyze my hiking over different terrain and then using that to estimate real hike times.
I like how @TopoMaps is looking on the Duo. The big question is how will Topo Maps+ feel when using it on an actual Duo and not trying to image what the simulator would feel like in my hand.
Finally working on @TopoMaps for macOS 26. Gotta say I really like the content going edge to edge on macOS 26.
There is a new stats toolbar in @TopoMaps that is much for focused on your hike when you are recording an activity.
The updated interface for Liquid Glass and iOS 26 is now live for @TopoMaps!
I pretty much did all of my navigation with @TopoMaps on my Apple Watch Ultra (even all of the off trail sections).
This is my new favorite backpacking loop. nwhikers.net/forums/viewtopi…
I am still working on the @TopoMaps iOS 26 design. First impression is that it really nice to use liquid glass on a map. The pic doesn't do it justice. This just "feels" so nice on my iPhone. (Got a TON of work to get the whole app updated.)
I'm working on an off road trip to Overcoat Lake. Being able to see the route in 3D in @TopoMaps is 🤩. (3D maps are currently in beta testing.).
The 3D maps in @TopoMaps are different from most other 3D maps. The interaction is optimized for exploring possible routes in the mountains. You can see what you are looking at on the main map.
Super excited to get 3D for @TopoMaps maps into public beta!
🤯 today in a @Waymo. It was unbelievable. It was the first time I didn't feel sick or stressed in a "cab" in a big city. Seriously it was incredibly smooth and not stressful.
Here is the Chikamin loop route we followed. topomaps.co/share/89WizxLyPI
This was the view from the top of Chikamin. It was an amazing loop! Lots of off trail, boulders, scree, and amazing views!.
