## What is MX Map Mobile?

The MX Map Mobile system is designed to be used with Mapyx Quo and MX Map GIS software packages. Maps can be acquired through in-app purchase.  This combined solution of Mapyx Quo and MX Map Mobile, provides a comprehensive combined system of full GIS software and a Mobile Application which are fully compatible. 

Currently only Ordnance Survey GB, and Ordnance Survey Ireland maps are supported but others maps and more functionality will follow. 

Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

If you experience any problems please contact our help desk in the first instance before posting any negative reviews.

You should always provide alternative means of navigation, and not rely on the app in any role that is critical to the safety of life or property.

This product does not support any maps purchased before 2015.

### 1/5 — Don’t update if your maps are pre 2015 !

*2023-08-29, version 1.70*

DON’T update if your maps are pre 2015 !    As mapyx say they work

### 2/5 — Buggy and uses a lot of power

*2023-06-19, version 1.64*

The app is clunky, adjusting and panning map scales doesn’t consistently work. 
The app when running (even in the background), causes excessive heating and power consumption.

### 1/5 — Useless for OS subscription

*2022-10-28, version 1.64*

Zero stars if I could. It appears you have to have purchased map tiles for this to work. I have an OS subscription via Quo but am unable to load anything into this app. More than disappointed.

### 1/5 — Waste of Five pounds

*2019-04-15, version 1.36*

Temperamental, un user-friendly, would give it zero if I could.

### 1/5 — Not that impressed

*2018-10-16, version 1.36*

Afraid I didn’t get on with this product at all. I’d been recommended it and had high hopes. But feel as if I’ve wasted £5 purchasing it. All I wanted was a map to walk by tomorrow and now I’ve spent and hour downloading various things onto laptop and phone and I still can’t see any maps.....very disappointed.

### 1/5 — Very poor value

*2017-03-12, version 1.17*

A complete waste of money, it's very light on features if it works at all, there are a lot better free apps available.

### 2/5 — mr

*2017-02-26, version 1.17*

This should be a good piece of software. I've tried it a couple of times while out walking. I get a mix of map scales on the same screen and occasionally only 2/3 of the screen has any map. Much of the time a significant portion of the screen is blank. The sat nav information seems very accurate. Lets see an update soon or most people won't use it and see their £6.99 as a waste of money.

### 4/5 — Excellent move forward👍

*2017-01-24, version 1.1*

This mobile app has now significantly improved the accessibilty of Mapyx maps (including UK OS 1/50000 and 1/25000) purchased from Mapyx. Many years ago I purchased a Lowrence Endura GPS device and Mapyx OS maps in order to have a GPS device with OS maps ... with this mobile app I can now very quickly and easily also load/ unload maps and routes/ tracks between the Mapyx Quo software on my PC and my mobile phone to use with the phones GPS ... brilliant ... well done Mapyx ... the only reason I've only given 4 stars is because I know Mapyx will work hard to expand this app further to enable the full 5 stars!

### 3/5 — New App

*2016-12-24, version 1.1*

This is a new departure from Mapyx, so this App shouldn't be too harshly reviewed. The IOS App is only part of the whole package - sure the IOS one is lacking support for free (OSM) mapping at the moment, but I am sure that it will come. One to watch, and use in conjunction with the other elements of the whole Mapyx range. It isn't a standalone App as some others as it is integrated into the Mapyx system, so user expectation might need to managed.
