Avenza Maps is a powerful navigation app for hikers to use offline maps. It uses Geospatial PDFs, GeoPDFs, or GeoTIFF to create offline maps for route navigation. In this video, I show you how to make your own Geospatial PDFs using Caltopo and how to import it into Avenza Maps. We take it a step further to create KML/GPX layers and link them to high resolution, free USGS maps.
