Extremely useful!

I’ve been using this app all over the world for 7 years. It’s been a life saver! Where there’s no cell service, and no maps on GPS devices, this always works. I know exactly where I am and how to get to where I need to go. I won’t be without it!

なかなか良い

なかなかいいマップだと思う。
等高線もあるし、地形図としても使える。

Highly detailed for remote places

Kudos to everyone who loads data into these maps. The off road routes are incredibly accurate. Some of the routes are simply worn out paths in taller grass. It definitely helped me with navigating to more remote places (Africa, Central Asia, and New Mexico). In urban areas the maps were accurate with hotels and hospitals even in smaller towns and villages. I used this with other cell data map apps (with I’m guessing more fresh info), which created nice overlays. Where this app really helped me was with planning an overland journey through remote areas and when cell coverage dropped. I used this with bad elf, a sat gps that plugs in your smart phone or tablet. If you have your maps already downloaded the bad elf will show where you are on the map. I wouldn't use this for commuting but its a big help for off the beaten path type of adventure. I hope this helps!

Amazing!

By far the best and easiest map to use when out in the bush. No internet connection needed. Download the area where you are heading and boom. Get all the trails and your location with impressive accuracy.

Non si capisce a cosa serve

A parte ingrandire e salvare la mappa non sembra fare altro oppure se lo fa non è per niente chiara ed intuitiva.

Terrible

Not a true topo map. More of a street map with topo markings. No trails, no smaller bodies of water and no better than mapquest. Plus they have a stupid tile system you have to purchase to keep using it. Absolute garbage.

Great Program

This is an awesome topographic map app! I wish I could give it 10 stars!

Ziemlich gute Darstellung, aber keine Suche

Ich bin der App eigentlich sehr zufrieden, man findet sich damit in jeder Landschaft schnell zurecht. Mir fehlt nur eine Suchfunktion, um schnell zu Bezeichnungen auf der Karte zu finden.

no buona..

rendering delle mappe pessimo, manca di un sacco di funzionalità che altre app simili hanno.

Feedback

I'd like to see a street view and a 3d aspect on buildings I also think that you should team up with Google maps to get the details

Buona app +++

Bella e funzionale.

Great simple program!

Love it. Use it all the time. So efficient and simple...it's all I need to go 'deep' into the bush, or waaaay out of cell range and still have an exceptional reference to my location. Cheers from Yukon, Canada(bush country)!!

Great App!

This app is just what it says it is. It provides a better traditional map experience than Google maps in many ways. It is just a clear map with extraordinary detail. So far, I have found it to be accurate. In fact, in a new subdivision, Mapster has the actual, current and correct street names whereas Google has the old proposed street names!

It's a really well thought out app with a built in user manual that gives lots of good background, how to contribute, and a lot of interesting detail in how it is put together and works.

When paired with a GPS receiver, the tracking is smooth, quick and responsive. It updates position frequently. The tracking with this map is much quicker and smoother than any other GPS nav app or system I have used.

The only complaint I have is that at the highest level of detail the text is hard to read. You can zoom in and out to read it but it would be nice if that could be made a little more readable without doing that.

I highly recommend this app, either by itself or with a GPS receiver. I've been using it on an iPad Mini with Retina.

Lack lustre

Lacks a lot of "should have" features. Too many nag screens. The daily tile download is to restrictive to be able to make judgement on the app. There is no key for the map symbols. Don't seem to be able to turn off the "Blue location circle". It has promise but falls a long way short of being useful yet.

Great

You can tell were you are even without Internet, witch is great if your lost and don't have service

Mapster meets my objective

I needed a simple iPhone app that would download a map of a trail that I was lookong forward to hiking, see my position with respect to the trail and be able to do it without a data connection. Mapster does exactly that.

Surprisingly good!

I like to go out into the woods and walk around. Not sure why, I just do. Find old footpaths and see where they go, that kind of thing. I've probably tried around a hundred different mapping/GPS apps in the last couple of years and this is one of only 2 or 3 that I continue to find useful. No matter where I am, it finds every little trail and almost always shows me something useful and interesting without the hassle of similar apps. I'm reviewing it because I think it probably gets lost in the shuffle of sleeker/better marketed/pricier apps. And that's a shame, because there's a whole hidden world of prehistory just off the side of the road, and this little app knows just how to get there.

Handy offline map

This is a great map program, always my first "go to" option.
My only minor gripe is that often large city names are hidden by nearby local suburb names.

Obs

Faltan muchas herramientas de navegación. No grava track y no importa klm

Muy buena
