they are passive maps intended for research and trip planning

the same INEGI map set is active for navigation with GPS in GaiaGPS

not sure if the INEGI map set ob CalTopo shows your location
Geoff will know


Yes, the CalTopo app serves the same purpose as the Gaia GPS app. CalTopo also uses your device's GPS to show your current location on the map (INEGI topo, or other)

Can you do this with the free cal topo or does it have to be a paid subscription?

It looks like a basic subscription is needed for the offline maps feature.
