Have you heard of Trimble GPS Hunt Pro?  I use it and you can purchase (one time) maps for the WA GMUs.  Very detailed and the topo is great.  It got me out of a jam this last weekend when I went off trail a few miles.  It has some cool features too like moon and sun tables, balistic tables, etc.

Check out gaia
I Run it on an iphone 6 plus easy to read. Download satellite and topo views for area you are going to be in before leaving cell service or internet service.

Like arnold says - its on the app store.

DO YOU MEAN TERRAIN NAVIGATOR PRO?

I JUST DOWNLOADED IT, IT SEEMS COOL. MY DEER CAMP SAT PIC IS FROM THIS SPRING SUMMER.

Onx would have been my first thought too but it is $30 year not $10 month

Trimble (gps hunt/fish pro) was awesome but is going out of business.  One of their best features - offline maps - are no longer downloadable  :bash:

I use MotionX on my phone. I've really sat around with my thumb up my butt on it for a few years until I started discovering all its features this year. For one, I can download a specifc, customizable sector of maps before I go to the field much like MotionX. But IIRC this app doesn't show private property boundaries that I know of.

Also check out backcountry navigator, $10 one time fee.  I also use onxmaps to get landowner boundaries and names.
