Just a picture file, a bit disappointed. ### 1/5 — Just a picture file *2023-09-19, version 3.2* As a tradie we need to search for the latest streets that don’t appear on other apps. Melways has always been the trusted way to go not anymore. streets that appear on the melways web site don’t appear and the search bar is useless. It’s just a picture file that is 3 years behind. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money *2022-11-16, version 3.2* Don’t waste your money ### 5/5 — Excellent map design *2022-10-06, version 3.2* Melways still has details you cannot find on Google/Apple Maps ### 3/5 — Best maps, but …. *2022-07-18, version 3.2* information about places hopelessly out of date. Classic Melway cartography, but many of the named businesses of historic interest only. Latest edition no better than the last. As a loyal and longstanding user I am disappointed. ## Frequently asked questions about iMelway Edition 49 ### What is iMelway Edition 49? iMelway Edition 49 is a navigation app that brings the Melway Street Directory for Greater Melbourne and Ballarat to your Apple device.
