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. The Quick Start guide for this app can be found at the link below: http://www.mapyx.com/user_manuals/MXMapMobileQuickStartGuideiOS.pdf
