Leave a Review You Need A Map
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.Show lessMyriochondrule
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!Klackityklick
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 My only complaint is that it is out of date or something.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 Some of the street names in other places don't show up either or are out of date also.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.Show lessGinny's getting mad
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.Show lessAichan's Daddy
It just works
After searching high and low for a good offline map for my 2G iPod Touch I found this gem. After a moment to adjust the settings to my liking (map shading, etc…) there is nothing I can really get nit-picky about. Though I wish the bike paths were a bit more up to date, and I did find an error on a road name - but to be fair not many people know the names of obscure logging roads in Upper Michigan and the bike path in my town is pretty new.
In short, this is a US atlas in an iPod with the level of detail of a plat book. Top form Mark Granger
PROS: free, an efficient UI, finally an adjustable map output, stable, fairly quick between zoom settings (use the +/- buttons).
CONS: not worth getting worked up over.Show lessoutdoorsman86
It's a Map not a way to Navigate
It's a great map and includes terrain not available on a typical road map but you can't search for an address and be presented a route. It also has stale map data. I've lived in my house for 4 years and I'm not on the map. I'll keep it for emergencies but it won't get much use when I'm driving. Free is good, for that reason 3 stars.Show lessbrianvegas
Fantastic...but
What an amazing app. I don't have a 3G connection on my iPad, so I need an app like this to help me navigate. I use it like a traditional paper map, except that i can zoom in when ineed to (if lost). The only reason I took off 1 star is because the names of the streets and avenues are not aligned with their corresponding roads. This is a problem when you get into areas like NYC, where the grid is laid out at an angle. You can't be sure which road the name refers to; however, for the price, I can't complain.Show lessnyflme
Useful for what it is
Wonderful off-line map; very handy in those cases where you have poor data service to work with the GPS! Nothing super-fancy about the maps, but that doesn't seem to be its primary use.kpimmel
I concur with the confusing street names posts
This app does have a lot of potential for those people who have the smallest iphone data plan and worry about data usage. This map is very fast loading and scrolling even with all of the map options set to on (like points of interests, waypoints, shading..etc). However, while the horizontal streets are perfectly fine in the labeling, it's a struggle to figure out what the names are of the vertical streets since all the street labels are stated horizontally. Otherwise, I like this app a lot, even if it is nearly 2 gigs. (Note to people who want to find Hawaii's cities: you have to insert "honolulu" as the city name and then scroll from there.)Show lessMissy 1234
Great to have a map of the US in such detail - all for 99 cents!
What a great app! Download the database so you have access to an entire hi-resolution map of the US, even when not connected to the Internet! Great detail, allows excellent rendition of the contours with variable sun position. Rivers and Streams, Contours, Points of Interest, Essentially every road in the entire US. File size is 2 GB - not bad for such detail!Show lessdesmd
