Topos US
Topos US is a topographic mapping and navigation application for macOS that provides detailed USGS topographic maps of the United States. It is used by hikers, outdoor enthusiasts, surveyors, and geographic professionals who need high-resolution terrain data, elevation information, and route planning capabilities. The app allows users to view and interact with traditional topographic map layers and mark locations and waypoints for outdoor navigation and planning.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find recent public information about Topos US — the developer's website or repository does not appear in search results and there is no clear information about whether a native Apple Silicon build exists. If you rely on this app, contact the developer (Pignology) directly to ask whether native Apple Silicon support is planned. This is important because your Intel-only copy will stop launching entirely when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28, scheduled for September 2028 — that gives you roughly two years to either upgrade to a native version or transition to an alternative. If Pignology is no longer actively developing Topos US, consider established native-compatible mapping alternatives like Maps (built into macOS), Gaia GPS, or OpenAndroMaps-based tools like Orux Maps (though these are mobile-first and may require web access for some features).
