User reviews

Great app for loading offline maps.
by Vasil Ivanov, 2024-07-10

Great gps and map app available for both Android and iPhone. Supports offline maps for use without cell service. Worldwide offline maps are easily downloaded within the app. It also allows third party maps to be imported, including mapsforge maps, poi, and styles as well as raster maps in formats such as mbtiles. Poi overlays are searchable offline. Simple to use, but with enough settings to allow user configuration. Helpful info is available on web site, and author is responsive to emails.
