Ditto on the update not loading. Really like the app though and I'm sure a fix will be soon as I'm looking forward to the new features. A bit more intuitive user friendliness will be welcome.
The best feature is that the maps are loaded onto my machine and do not have to come on the server. This is one of the very few map programs that I can use in a plane, out of the reach of any cell coverage.Show lessOldSchoolPilot
Exactly what I wanted!
I have an iPad mini withOUT cell connectivity, and am therefore dependent upon having access to wi-fi to use googlemaps or similar--not so helpful when I'm out and about. I also don't have a smartphone. So, what I really wanted was a road atlas I could use on the go. This app provides that and so much more! (FYI--I just have the free app; no fancy-schmancy 3D upgrades or anything.) I've only had it a little while, but I'm confidant it can provide whatever map info I need, anywhere in the continental U.S. (maybe Alaska and Hawaii too, I just haven't looked). I can zoom in or out to whatever level of detail I need and the road/place names adjust to my new level. The "so much more" aspect is that, while I would have been happy with a simple road atlas, this app also shows topography and features, both natural and man-made. Great info! I do get the feeling all this quality is using up a lot of memory, but for me, it's worth it.Show lessChayska
It works fine out of cell phone range
It is an offline map. It works fine when you are out of cell phone range. You do not need gps signal to use the map, you only need gps signal to update your location on the map.
If you have a cell phone model device that does 3g or later, then you also have a built in gps. If you don't have a 3g or later device, you can still do gps with a bluetooth device like bad elf pro. But even without a gps the map still works, though you have to figure out where you are. All of the street names etc still show up, as do the topo lines.Show lessmikegrok
No good for out-of-cell-range
Seems to work 'ok' for in-city stuff, but then why? Since in-city 99% of the time you'll have 3G or wi-fi ... and use a 100x better app. Tested this for some off-highway out-of-cell-range areas, and the maps are honestly pretty worthless, lacking most road info and expecially any forestry service roads which I'd imagine are pretty well known (at least in other apps I've used). Better off to just use a different app and pre-download areas before traveling if heading out of cell range. The 3D looks kinda cool, but again it's weak compared to other more solid apps like Maps 3D. Sorry, I usually don't complain on $3.00 but this was a waste of time & space for me.Show lessTgsocal
Outstanding maps
I jail broke my iPad so I could use a bluetooth gps receiver. I spent my vacation on Lake Mead and was astounded at the detail and route help this app provided. Navigating the coves and channels was made very simple and hiking after beaching was exhilarating knowing this app could tell me what the surroundings were and where the best views were. There was never a worry about returning to the boat. I love this app.Show lessRDE47
Awesome
I'm a Commercial Pilot and purchased an iPad 3 in anticipation of our company approving our charts and approach plates for use on our pads. In the mean time I wanted to have fun with my iPad 3 while commuting to and from my base so I purchased an Ultimate GPS unit which works great but wanted a moving map app to see where I was over the US. You Need a Map app recognizes the Ultimate GPS unit and gives you Lat, Long, Altitude, Speed and you can watch your progress over the ground. To my surprise this app works well with the Ultimate GPS. This is an amazing app!!Show less757 Driver 1234

Fabulous!
For free, you can't beat the functionality of this app. The only possible downside is the size, especially for the smaller capacity idevices. We used it for a trip from CO to CA, performed flawlessly. Highly recommended, especially for folks with limited data plans.rcourtem
Need retina display for the new iPad please
Dear developer, can you please add retina display graphics for the app called "you need a map" it would be great because my new iPad or might as well call it the iPad third generation would need good graphics for this app I find this app very useful and I would love to have a nice clear sharp map on my new iPad so thanks and please take this note under consideration.
Many thanksShow lessShareef.A.
Exactly what we needed!
We wanted detailed US maps that were local to the iPad and would not require connectivity when we are out of range of anything. This app is perfect. Great maps, great features. Can't wait to take a road trip with this!LovesNeon
