## What is QuickMap World?

You can use QuickMap World anywhere in the world to quickly locate places of interest.  QuickMap World has over 8 million places resident in its database.

QuickMap World Operating Modes

1. Area - Displays the 20 closest places to the center of the map without regard to heading.  Position the map anywhere in the world and discover interesting places there.

2. Route - If you are moving with a speed greater than 15 MPH (24 KPH) the app can automatically switch to the Route mode. In Route mode place selection is based on a 45 degree section directly in front of you. The Route mode can be overridden if you want to keep the app in the Area mode. Auto mode is the default mode.

QuickMap Features

1. Place type filter enabling you to display only the place categories that interest you.

2. Each place has a details page with maps, directions, street view (if available) and  Wikivoyage article text for certain POI places.

3. Continuous display of heading, speed, altitude.

4. Ability to bookmark a place of interest enabling you to quickly access that page later.

5. QuickMap has over 5.8 million places resident in its database.

6. Many features of the app work while offline. For instance speed, heading and altitude use GPS information. Place geo code information is resident in the app so it can quickly display places as well as position them on offline cached maps. Article text display require an on line connection.
