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.
