Around 200 texts that were previously German-only are now translated throughout — nearby search, vehicle types, bike computer, tours, groups, navigation and route printing. • Language switcher in the toolbar: change language any time from the main toolbar instead of digging through Settings. Every language is listed in its own name (Deutsch, English, 日本語 …), so you can always find yours. • Offline maps easier to reach: moved out of Settings into the map comparison toolbar. • Redesigned region download: the region preview is now a real editor. Pan and zoom the map, drag the corner handles to resize your download area, or drag inside it to move it. The preview now uses the map type you selected, and the map is larger and resizable. Also fixed: map type selection when using a translated interface, and number formatting for area and perimeter values. ### 08-2026 — 2026-07-29 Premium maps can now be purchased directly in the app. Bug fixes and improvements. ### 07-2026 — 2026-06-10 - Explore Surroundings - Discover interesting places near you - Improved offline capabilities - New maps - Bug fixes ### 05-2026 — 2026-04-20 - New Maps ### 04-2026 — 2026-03-31 12 maps included - Weather map - Nautical chart with ship traffic - Aeronautical chart with air traffic - Public transport - Stations and departure times for "Wiener Linien" - Navigation and route planning ## Apps similar to GPS Explorer | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [GPS-Explorer mobile](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/gps-explorer-mobile/id334398785) | 1.0 (1) | Free | Navigation | | [GPX Visualizer](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/gpx-visualizer/id6755059674) | — | Free | Navigation | | [Easy GPX Creator](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/easy-gpx-creator/id6758635883) | — | Free | Navigation | | [Location Book - MyLocations](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/location-book-mylocations/id6467268481) | 5.0 (2) | Free | Navigation | | [GPS Land Measure Tracker](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/gps-land-measure-tracker/id6746194724) | 4.4 (5) | Free | Navigation | | [QuoVadis X Mobile](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/quovadis-x-mobile/id1496151452) | — | Free | Navigation | ## More apps by Stefan Hutter - [Germanisches Dialekt Cardflip](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/germanisches-dialekt-cardflip/id6752946786) - [Matura Lern-App Österreich](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/matura-lern-app-osterreich/id6753290304) - [Was Zählt - Timer und Zähler](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/was-zahlt-timer-und-zahler/id6753726447) - [Application - CVs and Letters](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/application-cvs-and-letters/id6758138129) - [Muttis Telefon](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/muttis-telefon/id6768677482) All apps by Stefan Hutter: https://appshunter.io/developer/1839319732 ## Related topics [xplorer gps](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/xplorer-gps) · [anc explorer](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/anc-explorer) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
