User reviews

Looks good but...

The app only seems to function in the App Store but won’t save to the iPhone. Bizarre and I won’t be using it until I can save the programme onto the phone

Long time coming - Well worth the wait

I've been using Mapcodes for quite a few years but have always used the web version as there was no iOS version available, until now. It's so much easier than the web version, simple slick and very intuitive. Here in the UK simply type in the desired address or simply the Post Code, hit search and instantly you see the location, GPS coordinates and Mapcode. Zoom in using the + - buttons to check its where your looking for then hit the map button top left, this launches your default map, hit directions and your then shown directions from your current location to your desired destination. Couldn't be simpler. Perfect partner for every TomTom.
