There are lots of ways to get Getlost Maps onto your phone or device (or your computer). Eventually we plan to build our own mobile apps which will be available free and let you navigate around using Getlost Maps.
We are pursuing having Getlost Maps published so you can download them within a free app. This would mean you could have the whole set, in your pocket, on iPhone or Android, on a full-featured app, with easy hassle-free downloads, entirely for free.

How does that sound?
Here are just some of the present options, including our recommendations.
Android
Below are some examples, but we recommend OziExplorer. For more options, try searching “geotiff” in the Google Play store. Let me know if you have another suggestion you think is a good option.
| Name | Pros | Cons | Price |
| OziExplorer | – Heaps of features – Full featured indefinite trial – One-off cost | – only uses OZFx format maps – can’t transfer license to a new phone/device – Trial won’t stay ‘navigating’ for long, have to press button again | Free trial version $25 USD ($32 AUD) |
| Avenza Maps | – Free Trial version – Easy to use – Uses geoTiff maps which are widely available | – Free version limited to 3 uploaded maps at a time (but you can change which 3) – Subscription to use more than 3 of your own maps | Free trial version $30 USD / year subscription |
iOS (iPhone, iPad etc)
Below are some examples, but we recommend Avenza Maps. For more options, try searching “geotiff” in the App Store. Let me know if you have another suggestion you think is a good option.

| Avenza Maps | – Free trial version – Easy to use – Uses geoTiff maps which are widely available | – Free version limited to 3 uploaded maps at a time (but you can change which 3) – Subscription to use more than 3 of your own maps | $30 USD / year |
| Maps n Trax | – Loads multiple maps and stitches them together seamlessly – Uses a wide range of formats including geoTiff | – Not as easy to use | $11 USD |
PC
On PC we use OziExplorer ($130 USD) for navigation, and we have been using it for almost 20 years.
You could also import the GetoTiff maps into Google Earth (which is free) as a layer then navigate with that.
Mac
On Mac the only thing we can suggest is Google Earth, but there are other applications which will do the job – no other free ones we know of.
