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!!

Ignore negative feedback this app is great

it is free, downloaded in about 20 minutes i don't know how much space it take i carry a 64gb so i don't care but this app is great just get will be useful wen ending up at a location with no service wifi etc. Just get it

Doesnt work in Canada.

Booooo! Wish it would have said that before I downloaded 1.8 gig not to mention I had to clear over 5 gig just to get it to download. Doesn't deserve the whole star.

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.

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 thanks

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!

Free detailed US maps, always there? Amazing.

This app was worth $10 to me when it first came out, even with 1/3 of the mapping info. I've used it enough times and in enough situations to say that it has not only paid for itself, but also the iPhone. Having an always available detailed map of the U.S., with GPS … what can I say? It's the main reasons I got a higher-memory iPhone.

It's FREE!

It's a free app and is very useful for those that don't have 3G or a wifi available. If you want glitz and glam go with google. Those stuck with no connection will use this and be better for it! Thank you!

Great app could be better

I love that this app is free! I also love that it can work without any Internet connection. My only complaint is that it is out of date or something. My whole subdivision doesn't even show up. I can find where it should be, but it's not there. Our subdivision has been here for more than 5 yrs now. Some of the street names in other places don't show up either or are out of date also.
Overall, thou, a great app.

Weak

Ultimately it is a nice interface for the open source OpenStreetMap data which is a decent offline map. But the app advertises itself as an offline map with GPS. I don't know how it is maybe intended to work, but it fails for me as an offline GPS map. The few times I tried it, the GPS function simply doesn't work when I'm offline. It only has been working for me when I'm in wifi range. Otherwise I get a "GPS function unavailable" error message. But if I'm within wifi range, I might as well use the built-in Google Map since it a much better overall map anyway.
I looked at the developer's page but that was no help. Nothing about that problem (if it is a problem and not an intended design feature) in the FAQ or known bugs pages.
