OffMaps 2 · Offline Maps for Travelers for Positive User Reviews
✓ Thanks for the mapsI'm not rich enough for an iPhone or iPad, but I wanted an offline mapping solution that will work with Geosphere. Offmaps fitted the bill, except for some missing 'local' maps. Noticing the map request link, I gave it a go, really not expecting a response - but low and behold not only did they produce the map, they also emailed to say to say it was available. Top marks! Thank you..Version: 1.21
✓ Hands down the best maps app for travellingHands down the best maps app for travelling.Version: 2.25
✓ Great when traveling without roamingGreat tool. I was traveling in Vietnam and downloaded a few maps (Saigon and Hanoi). Was able to better understand where I was when walking around or taking taxi..Version: 1.40
✓ Saved me from being lost a few timesThis is a very good app to move around coties you dont know well. it helps you locate yourself and the compass feature lets you know the direction in which you are walking. It's also very helpful in the fact that it does not use any data other than to load maps. Load maps while in your hotel with the free Wi-Fi and go about visiting the city..Version: 1.21
✓ Love it!Works even better than the last version..Version: 1.02
✓ Help deskI had a bit of trouble (not because of the app, but cos I am not very practised) but I got very prompt, helpful service from Daniel at the help desk. Thanks so much, I wish all apps had such helpful support..Version: 1.10
✓ Excellent serviceI bought this app 3 days ago, and it didn't have the map I wanted. I emailed the company, and here is my map, just 3 days later. You cannot get better service than this..Version: 1.02
✓ Impressive and awesomeBought this app for travel to other cities and have an offline map with gps enable. Impressive details and easy to use. I have download my hometown city map and it is accurate, gps location right on spot, many usefull information. Map are updated. Awesome support, if you need help or have a question, it is really fast and kind. Highly recommended app! And best of all, you pay only for what you use. App is free with 2 maps and for more you pay per download. No ads. No tricks, just a good app..Version: 1.30
✓ Great tourist app!I downloaded this app for a trip I'm taking to Europe. I've fiddled around with it and it's great! It pinpoints destinations of interest for you and has wiki articles available for download so you don't have to use 3G to look something up about the area. It hasn't crashed on me once, which is more than I can say for Citymaps2go (it crashed every time I entered a street address). I plan to use it all the time on my trip..Version: 1.10
✓ Best app ever!This app is help me immensely since I am moving to Germany. I don't have a data plan yet however off maps can still triangulate my position. It works for navi, trails, and other businesses. It is an excellent product. I only wish that I could pay perhaps a large amount and download all the maps of Europe. This is now the best app I have on my phone. Don't leave home without it!.Version: 2.03
✓ Highly Recommended for iPad 3I've been looking for an offline gps app for some time. Having read the various reviews, I selected OffMaps 2. It is fantastic and very accurate. I live in Melbourne (Australia) and it even shows streets that Navman, Garmin and Tom Tom don't show. I run it on an iPad 3 (with Location Services running) and can highly recommend it..Version: 1.21
✓ Not perfect, but still pretty darn amazingFirst of all, folks - patience! Give the dev team some time! Although the app is still missing a ton of land coverage, all major cities are on there and (in case you haven't noticed), a nifty email link for "request missing map" appears when you scroll over a mapless area. I feel like this app has become more of a "digital atlas" from the past version; true, you can't cache for free any area of the world. Instead, though, you buy individual maps loaded with much more content than version 1. The polish in the UI is truly appreciated; it looks really nice and feels like a sturdy, useable app now. Rendering is slightly slower than version 1 - kinda a downside - but is more reliable. The developers have done an admirable job creating the base for an app that, with map updates and time, is guaranteed to become a useful and comprehensive product. By the way, between oMaps and OffMaps, this wins hands down..Version: 1.02
✓ Great appI used this for a month in and around Germany and was very happy with how it performed. The subscription for all maps is well worth the price. Navigation was fast and I didn't have any problems with it on either iPhone or iPad. The subscription for maps applies to all your devices (you don't have to buy for each one). The way to do this seems a bit strange. I could't find it and emailed support -- they were quite fast and explained how. Local storage of maps is exactly what I wanted (i.e. no need for cellular connection to get map info).Version: 1.21
✓ Wonderful AppGood heavens people, stop whining about the map cost in v2. When did you last get a good city map for 33c, and 2 are included in the app purchase. It's an excellent application and having an offline database is quite the rescue when no wifi is around. I recommend it..Version: 1.10
✓ LynneThis is a great app. Found all the places I needed, and for those which I couldn't locate, I received helpful and fast advice by return email. Very handy!.Version: 1.21
✓ OffMaps2I used this on a recent trip to England. The London and Oxford maps were excellent and the GPS worked like a charm. It's great knowing that you are not being charged by the mobile operator to load the maps so that you can use OffMaps with abandon. The nearby attractions is helpful as is the bookmarking feature. I wish there was a way to tie addresses in contacts to the maps and some other functionality such as showing transport routes from one place to another--maybe there is but did not figure how to use it. But for getting me "unlost" it worked great. Highly recommended..Version: 1.20
✓ Saved me many times!Great app when travelling without internet access. So much more convenient than carrying a paper map, plus the ability to locate yourself on the map and drop a pin to find your way back to your rental car or hotel is fantastic..Version: 1.50
✓ Very useful appI used this app for a holiday in Sicily. It was very effective. It simplified map reading when driving or walking around. I liked being able to find car parks, points of interest etc. Its downloading of Wikipedia articles relevant to the map was also useful. The only comment, and it's not really a criticism, is that sometimes you cannot see minor roads unless you zoom in a long way, at which point you cannot see the big picture. But that's really an issue of screen size compared with a paper map..Version: 1.61
✓ Great AppI think this app is great! I deliver in Vancouver but mostly rural Fraser valley and outlining areas. For the price and ease of this app it beats map books hands down. I can bookmark several addresses and route myself and for us drivers find restaurants and gas stations. Good work and is pretty up to date with growing subdevisions. BUDDYBEAR Driver 2740.Version: 1.21
✓ Awesome offline maps, amazing customer service!Being able to download maps before you go and being able to access them without a wifi connection is a godsend! The maps work great and it's well worth the price you pay. Get the flat rate and download all the maps you need before you go. I was leaving very shortly for a trip and there was only one map of a smaller town that I didn't have. I thought what the hell and contacted customer service; a day and a half later I got a response saying that they added the map I needed! I mean seriously, where do you get service like that these days. Awesome. All in all a great purchase!.Version: 1.10
✓ ExcellentEasy, reliable and great customer support..Version: 2.25
✓ Highly RecommendedThe quality of the maps are great and the support is quick and responsive..Version: 1.30
✓ Excellent, but get the Flat Rate bundleFast, accurate, elegant. The maps are generally wonderful, albeit chopped up, so the flat rate means you can go hog-wild. One improvement would be to group local maps, and possibly glue them together, because it's tricky to cross separate maps..Version: 1.21
✓ Excellent App!An excellent map app! Very easy to use.Version: 1.50
✓ OffMap2: New buyer reviewExperienced traveler. Used to using a variety of maps and mapping tools, GPSrs, &c. I purchased this after reading good reviews, including one that mentioned that the maps were free after the initial purchase. I visited the vendor website, browsed several of their pages, and found no reference to the cost of downloading maps. Imagine my surprise when. after installing the app, I saw a reference to 2 maps left to download. I don't disagree with charging for maps, but the charge should be right up front. I eventually found a reference and explanation on their support page - not the first place I go for a product that I don't own. The cost for the maps ($1 USD for a "map") seems high given what seems to be a relatively small map area. The colors are not the best for distinguishing the various elements on the map. The color of buildings, for example, is similar to the general background - at least on the one map I have downloaded to date. It nonetheless seems that it will suffice, especially when I don't have my GPS (topo, street maps, sat images) and|or netbook w mapping program. I can see the benefit of using this during travels to load maps when WiFi is available, then use off line. Smooth running so far. ~R~.Version: 1.21
✓ InvaluableWhile this app isn't completely comprehensive with every street number or restaurant, it has been invaluable for the four months I travelled in Europe with my iPhone suspended. Every destination I went to, including small towns in Flanders, Bavaria, and France had maps. Being able to see transit maps and being able to pin all relevant landmarks prior to arriving in a new place has been amazingly helpful. I honestly don't know how I would have traveled without it. Thank you, app makers!.Version: 1.30
✓ Handy & AccurateI'm new to this app, but I used it very successfully in Mainz, Germany just a few days ago. It helped me find a shop quickly that would otherwise have taken much longer, and I probably would have had to ask for help from passersby in the street. I really like the public transportation overlays. My only complaint so far is that I couldn't search successfully for a manually-entered street address in Mainz. The closest I could get was the street level. On the London map, however, my street address searches were successful. Yet both city maps have 3 stars in the store..Version: 1.21
✓ Amazing map app!I have been looking for a good offline map app. There are many out there. Most of them are not very good. I liked the layout of this map app. The look and feel are great. I like that this is a map as well as a guide, all rolled up in one. You do not have to download both the guide and the map. This makes it easy to use. I especially like the customer service. It is great! Felix is very responsive to my questions and when I needed some maps of some counties and cities, I had them in a very short time. Great Customer Service. One thing that would be helpful to people is to have more landmarks, such as park names, restaurants, parking garages, and other businesses and lodging. But, I know that this app will be improved in the future. This is a very good map app with room to grow. Keep up the good work..Version: 1.02
✓ Does what it says on the tinGreat app, easy to use. Saves a fortune on data roaming charges when in another country.........!.Version: 1.21
✓ F De PaolisI used this application successfully in UK, USA, and Dubai, and it does what it says, allowing to set bookmarks in a City,which is very useful. Very good application indeed, and a few more details on the maps would give it 5 stars..Version: 1.61
✓ Support ExcellentGetting from the screen with a map back to "My Maps" is not obvious. I emaild my queston to "Support" on the OffMaps website and Felix was back to me very quickly with an email and instructions. FYI there is a curled corner of the map at the bottome right of the screen. Tap this and a screen appears that has a button for "My Maps". This gets you back. I am told there will be an upgrade with this corner colored so you will see it. The wideo on the website shows how tapping the corner works. I rated rated the app 5 stars for the selection of maps, their clarity and the many features. I will soon put the maps to use in Europe and see how it performs. More when I return..Version: 1.10
✓ Very useful!Good value and incredibly useful for anyone who likes a good wander around a city or needs to find an address..Version: 1.21
✓ Appropriate ExpectationsHave used for years for WALKING, especially in Europe, incl Andros, but also Australasia & Asia. Better detail globally (rural paths & urban alleys) FOR WALKING than Google maps. Recommend ‘lifetime’ sub for free maps. Internet needed for map-downloads, but “location” & “dropped- pins” work anywhere by GPS. Maybe ‘drop’ a “pin” from Internet for “home” & destination in advance, if Search not helpful. You will never get lost if you download maps for current WHOLE area, load ‘Home-pin” & have charged phone :).Version: 2.25
✓ OffMaps2 - Offline MapsGood quality maps of Jerusalem, although the old city should be more detailed.Version: 2.23
✓ Great supportOff maps was recommended by a friend who has just returned from Europe. Faced with the task of driving through Paris to return a hire car to CDG I downloaded Offmaps2lite not realising it was a demonstration site only. Getting nowhere I emailed support on 3 occasions,receiving an extremely courteous reply each time. With the thought that even as a non paying customer I received such great service I paid my dues and downloaded the full App. I am delighted with the clarity and fullness of the maps and look forward to using them in Europe next year.I will report again upon my return. Best wishes, Peter Keam Adelaide,Australia.Version: 2.02
✓ A Great ValueI honestly cannot figure out how someone could give this low-cost app a low rating. Even a high-end garmin unit (I have several) will steer you wrong in step-by-step navigation, and that's not a reasonable standard to judge OFFMAPS by. It's not a substitute for a full-blown use-every-day GPS. For travel, backup GPS, and use off the data network this is a terrific bargain. Worth more than I paid. Good work, OffMaps..Version: 1.21
✓ Absolutely fantastic!Honestly the perfect solution to either not having wireless data and/or not having access to public WiFi. Maps load very fast, and interface is battery-friendly. Only issue I could see is if you are outside the United States or internationally outside a relatively large city. The coverage of the US seems near complete. I would like to perhaps see other regions separated by province/state/county like the US. In the maps available for Canada, for instance, it would be nice to have the metropolitan areas categorized by province. But, that's just a nit-picky thing. I recommend purchasing the flat rate price to download an unlimited amount of maps if you travel frequently. If not, the $7.99 may not be worth it. (Since it includes 3 maps and 2 additional maps for $0.99, if you think you'll use less than 19 maps, it's more economical to just use tokens.).Version: 1.40
✓ Great tool for travellingI have been using this app for a few years now in a lot of countries. It is an extremely useful tool, especially when the internet connections are rare or unreliable. The data is as openmaps can be and to my surprise i often found it had hikings trails in some areas. The support is great, they even went as far as fixing a map i had a problem with. Even if nowadays google allows you to save offline maps, i still find myself alternating between the 2 and they complement each other very well..Version: 2.22
✓ Works perfect, great maps!Used this for 2 weeks in Germany, Sweden, and Denmark. It even showed paths inside of parks. Very happy :) thanks OffMaps for improving my trip!.Version: 1.61
✓ BrilliantI have a trip coming up to Chicago, Amsterdam, Brussels, and London. This app is so useful for planning where to stay, what to see and will, save a lot of roaming charges enabling us to expire and navigate new cities..Version: 1.10
✓ Maptasic!We travelled from the UK to the USA, researching the cost of data roaming, this saved us money and made viditing San Francisco, Las Vegas and Palm Springs a doddle! It was great to switch data roaming off and work offline. When in wifi range, back at the hotel, free to search and drop a pin ready for offline mode... Loads of towns and cities available, two come with the app then 3 for 69pence, great app..Version: 2.10
✓ Very good but could be betterVery good but could be better. Maps great but for example metro station names are not shown..Version: 1.10
✓ I love this app!I am so glad I found this app! I am going traveling around Europe for 3 months and have been stressing about roaming charges versus not having access to my maps. Awesome! Would be good to get directions with it, and to be able to get wider area maps, but have now downloaded 32 maps for $8!! Can't argue with that! Thanks!.Version: 1.10
✓ Terrific!Having now happily used this in Paris and London, I have come to regard this as a must-have for any new place I go. I get the map before I leave home and can navigate while there without being dependent on Internet access to use it. A vast improvement over the paper maps I used to depend on. OffMaps also gives great support: I downloaded a map of a more obscure city, didn't understand aspects of the map so emailed my questions and they responded right away and were very helpful. This is one app that is gives great value..Version: 1.21
✓ Generally goodThis is generally a very good app. It's clear and the poi's are very useful. I think that people annoyances with costs are a tad unjustified. If you look t the other big name mapmakers such as a to z and the AA, they're charging four or five times the amount! I feel you do get a lot for your money. I would really like to see some route planning features built in and public transport routes (bus maps) would be extremely helpful. I'm using an iPod touch and it works very well. One niggle I've found is when displaying poi's, when you're hovering over an area of the map and go to show all the poi's in that area, it'll jump to another part of the map. All in all very good, just needs some refinements and route planning..Version: 1.10
✓ A great companion to Google MapI am traveling thru Germany, I basically downloaded entire German maps. It cuts down on my mobile data usage and get me out when I don't have mobile data. Google map is far more detailed, but OffMaps is its offline companion for travelers..Version: 1.61
✓ Very HandyUsed this app on a recent cruise. I downloaded city maps for each port of call before leaving home. The maps were accurate and easy to use. Because the maps are on my iPad I didn't need to pay for data plans or roaming charges in the various ports..Version: 1.27
✓ Very well thought out appExcellent for travellers. Love how you don't need to have data roaming on when overseas and still can get gps position on map!.Version: 1.27
✓ Darned usefulAn excellent piece of software- very handy if you do a lot of travelling and don't want to get slapped by roaming charges. Very wide selection of maps. The (free) wifi tracking works surprisingly well when in major cities. The flatrate with unlimited downloads is good value- otherwise buying individual maps will get pricey. The only real criticism is that some of the map detail isn't great and for certain features can be out of date. Highly recommended..Version: 1.30
✓ Best Travel AppThis is the best offline map app there is on the market. It's a great tool to have when your on the go and have no wifi signal..Version: 1.21
✓ Essential traveller's kitMaps of foreign cities. You can use the phone's gps to locate you without using data (ie for free). Just download the relevant maps before you go. Brilliant!.Version: 1.21
✓ Great app for gen navigationWhat it needs though is a way for users to submit suggestions/changes/additions, and your company could go through some process to accept those changes. Great general location checking, but you pretty much need to crosscheck location with a guide book map....Version: 1.21
✓ A vacation-saver in FranceWe recently went to France on a two week vacation to Paris and then Nice. I was taking my Verizon iPad and knew I would not have persistent affordable data access throughout my trip, so I searched for a a map app that gave me locally-cached (i.e. stored on my i device) maps. I tried a couple of them before we left and OffMaps2 seemed the best. But it really shined once we got to France. Best features: - Ability to use the iPad's built in GPS receiver to show where in France I was at that point in time. - Very accurate maps of both locations - Great street search (even lots of stores and restaurants) all offline and plotted on the map - Bookmarks of located search results so they could be used to easily see and determine how to get from point A to point B I HIGHLY recommend this app. It was INVALUABLE in helping us find and navigate unfamiliar territory. It saved us countless hours and effort and let us maximize our vacation time. I dare say it even helped us avoid those annoying family arguments when trying to plan daily itineraries. GET THIS APP!.Version: 1.25
✓ Awesome appI've used off maps since version 1,it's always been my #1 go to for navigation. I don't like paying for data and this has always been my solution for that when I don't know how to get somewhere. I would however like to see the possible implementation of multiple bookmarked locations :).Version: 1.40
✓ AwesomeAwesome app. Great job guys!!.Version: 1.10
✓ Great MapsWe work in areas where there is no 3G, now we use Offmaps and it is easy, if there isn't a map, a quick request and it is there within a few days, great service, great app..Version: 1.10
✓ Great for walking/ biking, not so great for public transitI've used this app a couple of times where I got lost (no gps on an iPod) and was able to find my bearings and get back on track. However when you're thinking of using this app to get a route for public transit, you're out of luck. Instead of route numbers, all you get are colored lines that show the routes themselves. My advice to the developers, add route numbers to the public transit likes and make the bus stop markers a little more opaque..Version: 1.10
✓ Great map app for travelI have found this program really helpful when traveling and I don't want to use loads of expensive data to view google maps. Coverage and accuracy seem good too..Version: 1.30
✓ Offmaps2We used offmaps2 in Spain and found it to be excellent. We also used google maps which we discovered worked offline on the iPad (but not on the iPhone). Google had some advantages when driving long distances as it was easier to see where you were in the country rather than only being able to see one small area at a time. Also it had highway numbers whereas offmaps did not. Apparently they are working on this for the next version. In the cities offmaps had the advantage of Wikipedia links and easy bookmarking. Much easier in cities to follow where you are on a phone than on a map. You will never get lost with offmaps as all you have to do is bookmark your destination and a blue dot will reveal your present location..Version: 2.0
✓ Great appCovers Australia well, but if you need a map and its not available simple email the team and they will make one available. Top stuff well done guys!.Version: 1.61
✓ A useful applicationOffMaps 2 has been a wonderful tool for me as I travel extensively. It has been brilliant when I don't have access to internet. Not all the maps I needed were available, unfortunately, but the majority were and hopefully more are on the way. Some of the capabilities are not in this version (as can be seen from previous comments) though I am hoping they will be reinstated on future upgrades. I recently had issues with my account and they replied to me fairly quickly and were quite helpful. All in all a very useful app with a very nice interface..Version: 1.10
✓ Terrific offline maps for the priceThis is a great offline app and it includes quite a bit of detail. If you are using it for foreign travel you need to know the specific region where a city is located before you can search for a city. For example, if you want to know where a small city in France is, you must first know which regional map it is in before you can search for it. For the lifetime flat rate price you get unlimited maps and unlimited upgrades. If you're concerned about data storage just download the map and delete it when you're done - you can always load it again later. To get the lifetime flat rate, first pay for the app. Log in using your device. When you've downnloaded 2 maps the app will ask if you want to upgrade..Version: 2.11
✓ Awesome App, Awesome Support TeamI love this app. Its so convenient for travel, the fact that it even exists, and that I had the fortune of finding it, is unreal. Having an offline map and wiki for almost any location you could go is a godsend. And not only is the app great but the support is also top notch. They worked with me, in a very prompt manner, to solve some obscure issue I was having. I believe this app is well worth the small cost, and that life time flat rate is very reasonable. I went for it from the get go and have never been happier with an app. This will be one of the most used apps on my up-coming trip to europe. Thank you offmaps2!.Version: 2.21
✓ Works wellGreat app for travelling around Europe. Handy while walking and driving. Does lack some detail out of the main part of the cities and routing would be nice but otherwise it does a great job..Version: 1.21
✓ Great app, but still a work in progressIt's got a lot of info and is reasonably easy to use. It does however appear to be lacking some public transport information. I've only had a good look at a few German cities but a lot of train lines are missing from the public transport overlay. I could not use this to plan a short rail journey as it is currently. Other types of transport appear to be ok (i.e. bus, tram etc.) I can appreciate how much work it would have taken to get any public transport data together for this to begin with, but it is still a work in progress (as of the date of this post), so keep that in mind when plotting your journeys. If I could suggest that route names also be incorporated into the public transport overlay (perhaps as floating tags) so that one could identify bus, rail or tram lines without having to tap a network node. This would make navigating much quicker and easier. Overall a great product. Highly recommend.Version: 1.40
✓ Excelent Maps and excelent supportVery useful to have maps where you do not have 3g coverage, or when you are overseas and do not want to spend roaming money just to download maps. The map that I asked for was promply added by the support team! A+++.Version: 1.20
✓ Very goodHave used this in Madrid and was great. Location function and direction facing is very good also. Worth the price as also trialled other free ones which were no where near as good..Version: 1.21
✓ Really useful appUsed this recently in Spain and Germany with no Internet access- extremely useful and saved us trouble numerous times. The train and bus line info has been very useful (although perhaps line numbers could be more obvious). Highly recommend this for traveling without Internet..Version: 1.20
✓ Fab appThis is a really great app, especially for travelling - when you don't want to be paying roaming Internet charges or you're far from towns. You can do everything you're used to with online maps: zooming in & out, bookmarking etc without the Internet. It's worth buying the flatrate then you can download whatever maps you need. I have also been impressed with the support offered through the offmaps website. It has been both very clear and very prompt..Version: 1.10
✓ Offmap2Rather very useful to find where the places are also where you are if you are lost on the way. Excellent info from Wiki. But need some route planning including as I have to determine the way to get there. And also for compass message kept coming up! There are some delays on location pin as you need to know where you are. But overall think it is worth to use..Version: 1.10
✓ Excellent AppReally found it useful travelling in India and Singapore without Data Roaming and still being able to find my way around..Version: 1.40
✓ VietnamIn Vietnam first time using maps best friend a traveler could have . I have used it everyday multiple times a day. Worth every cent and no internet connection needed to use. Brilliant.Version: 2.22
✓ Great offline detailVery good offline urban map and up-to-date. Not a rural geography map - but then there's online satellite images for that..Version: 2.2
✓ AmazingI highly recommend this for users with an iPod touch. This is absolutely amazing.Version: 1.10
✓ Works really wellI paid for the unlimimited maps because I will be taking a very long trip later this year. I've already downloaded about city maps, most of which will be new to me. But I did download a map of an area in the UK that I familiar with as a test. I was amazed at the detail you can get from the map. I looking forward to using the app I'm the Middle East & S E Asia later this year ..Version: 2.03
✓ Great for the price, great support, growing map selectionIt's not yet as polished as it could be -- in particular, street and landmark names can be hard to see and should resize/reposition themselves when zooming/scrolling around. And I wish redraw could be faster. But for the price it can't be beat and it meets my needs for offline map access anywhere. Why buy another app with limited map selections? The developers of this app are growing the map selection constantly -- you can request a custom map of your area by zooming in and positioning a rectangle on a lower-detail world map. The developers added my map request quickly, and support was responsive when a map didn't download..Version: 1.02
✓ Solid off line maps app with great supportVery useful app when you have no mobile data (or it's too expensive). Has a range of maps and pretty easy to use. Support is great. Twice I've needed a map that wasn't in the system, emailed a request and they have added it..Version: 2.23
✓ New map created for my tripI email them and asked them if they could add dahab to their off line maps which they did before I arrived which is awesome service. They are awesome and this is the best offline maps map for traveling..Version: 1.10
✓ Extremely useful for travelersA fantastic app, have had it (and the previous separate app) for years. The developer is fast at responding to requests, and quickly added map/guide coverage to two areas that I requested. Only caveat is that it's missing the freedom of the previous app where you could simply select any area of the world and download map info directly. But then that's why I keep both versions around! 😃.Version: 1.40
✓ Great travelers resource!I have traveled to SanFran and Copenhagen this year with this app and I have found it very useful and reliable. I have another trip to Ecuador this summer and I had hoped there was a map for some cities there but sadly they didn't. I simply contacted the development team with a deadline for my trip departure, and they managed to get the city fully set up on there in time! Customer responsiveness, and the apps usefulness, ease of operation, and reliability make for a 5 star recommendation from me!.Version: 1.10
✓ Excellent maps for travelersJust returned from a five week trip to five different cities and was lucky to have bought this app for my new iPad before I went. It was just great for planning and then using in each location to find our accommodation, restaurants, places of interest etc. Such a low price made it a really good buy with no additional cost to pay overseas. Have just loaded more maps for the next trip!.Version: 1.21
✓ Strange, but goodThe crashes stopped once my first map finished dowloading and expanding. Sorry about the big scare..Version: 1.01
✓ MrUsed the app on many occasions - bypasses the cost of data as the maps are on your phone and it uses the satellite to give you your position. It has many other function and you can bookmark your location on the map I’ve had a couple of issues regarding the flatrate not working, but the guys sorted the problem out easily and quickly. Great product, great service.Version: 2.25
✓ Great to use and funHave been busy adding hotel bookmarks and looking at places interest for upcoming trip and have no complaints. So much easier than carrying around guide books on so many countries! Lovin' it..Version: 1.10
✓ Great for travelReally handy to have offline maps when travelling and you don't have access to data, made my life a lot easier on many occasions..Version: 1.30
✓ A Superior AppOne of the most useful apps on my iPad. If you travel or intend to this is a must have app on your Apple device. I'm guessing Offmaps is so named because it works beautifully offline. If you are GPS enabled (All phones and 4G iPads) it works even better with a location cursor that as fast as any I have ever used. As far as maps...cities, regions, (not whole countries) worldwide, highly detailed, easy to read with the really useful ability to easily "bookmark" (notate) sites, restaurants, hotels, anything. I've discovered that these bookmarks are especially handy if one has returned to a city you were in a few years ago and you just can't seem to remember where that great restaurant was located. No problem now! Once you get the hang of it, you'll be "bookmarking" and adding notes to all kinds of sites. I am in Amsterdam a lot! I have 100 plus notations and I can easily display all of them, zoom in to where I am and go directly to that wonderful little cafe I discovered a few months back. The $7 or $8 dollars you pay for unlimited maps is a very good deal. One is easily able to download, use, then delete (for space) and the download again as needed. Obviously I like this app, you will too..Version: 2.11
✓ Excellent value for money - and does what it saysI write this as we're sitting at the harbour in Paphos, Cyprus. We've found the app invaluable for our journey. It covers the major cities in Cyprus, the smaller ones are too small to worry about. From time to time we've not been sure of where we are in the small streets of Cyprus, out comes the iPad and very quickly we know where we want to go and where we are. although it doesn't offer turn-by-turn instructions it makes navigation pretty easy. Of course, the driver can't also be navigator. I've also used the app in South Africa successfully. The way it handles Wikipedia items is great. It helps to know what is close by. We've found it to be accurate. Gripes or wants: It would be nice idiot could automatically select the right map based on location. The continuous manual switching of maps is annoying. Increased coverage would be nice. A country-wide map with major roads would be great..Version: 1.21
✓ Top material & top supportNot only high praise for the maps but the support is A-1, too. From Australia, I recently queried an obscure Dutch locality for our next holiday. Offmaps staff rapidly responded to our query, with extensive information re our destination. I'm more than pleased with the lifetime flat rate price, it's tremendous value. Absolutely loads of info for a one-off fee, plus that super support is there for free!.Version: 1.10
✓ BrianRelatively new user with iPad & apps but used this app extensively when on recent overseas 8 week holiday when excessive data charges using google maps nearly bankrupted us!. Took a while to familiarise with the full functionality & still learning but would happily recommend to any traveller. Seems to lack the ability to give directions as per google maps which some may see as a disadvantage but everything else worked a treat. Excellent support as well..Version: 1.27
✓ Brilliant ApplicationThis is my second favourite navigation app. As a backup for TomTom, it works extremely well. I can't fault this app..Version: 2.03
✓ Support second to noneTravelling to Canada, I found one of my destinations was just off the map available. A quick e-mail and the map was extended and available within 48 hrs. I have also received rapid and helpful responses to queries about the less obvious abilities of the app. Very many thanks OffMaps..Version: 2.23
✓ Accurate Maps OfflineI just spent three weeks with no cell phone service and no data plan. Google maps allows maps to be cached - but the maps lose definition the further you are away from start. Offmaps shows names of streets everywhere within the purchased map. Triangulate off cell towers and you are good to go with a blue position dot. Oddly, freeway numbers didn't show up..Version: 2.03
✓ This app is soooooo useful!The great thing about this app is that you don't need wifi for it to work if you have already downloaded the city maps you need. Really works well for route finding. Very detailed map scale available. It has been so useful in Vietnam and in Bangkok..Version: 2.23
✓ A very helpful toolReally useful when you can't connect to 3G. Great detail. Helped me a lot on a recent trip to London..Version: 1.30
✓ Great app! Perfect for travellersGreat app, lots of maps, Wikipedia entries are handy, UI is very good - I live by this app when travelling. Only docked a star cos the maps are a little vague and the points of interests could do with fleshing out (also don't like the center-the-loupe-to-select interface). Mere niggles though. :).Version: 1.40
✓ Essential for any travelerI can't count the number of times this app has saved me from getting lost abroad! It's free to use in every country after you buy access to their maps. It doesn't use wifi or cellular signals...just the gps in your phone. It's not perfect...some of the subway lines don't show where the stops are and the interface is pretty utilitarian. But this is the app I use the most exploring a new city. Absolutely essential for any traveler!!!.Version: 2.2
✓ Easy to useIt looks nice and is offline with a Wikipedia file in various languages to inform you about the area..Version: 2.03
✓ Excellent maps on the goVery useful app for iPod touch. Works well and i have been using it for a few years. Comprehensive coverage!.Version: 1.61
✓ Good app and don’t think twice, buy the flat rate.I’ve been using this app for a few years now and it’s great value. The flat rate enables a generous quota of maps; I’m about to delete some downloads which I no longer need and add others; I think the app allows this. And so important to have a map app which works offline. Face it, Google Maps sweet as it is simply doesn’t..Version: 2.25
✓ Works well, flexible,and OFFLINE!Signed up for the flat rate maps. Really good value for the minimal outlay. Downloads reasonably fast. When I asked for a semi-obscure area without a map, they generated it, so kudos for listening to the customer. Maps fairly good tho a bit tricky to somewhere like South Korea due to spelling eccentricities. Now, if I could just figure out how to group them in folders, I'd be totally satisfied..Version: 2.03
✓ Fantastic AppHave just returned from a short 4 day trip to Barcelona with my wife, our first time visiting the city. My wife is not very techno friendly and prefers paper maps. However, OffMaps2 has changed her view, she would not leave my iPhone alone, the App pinpointed our position accurately every time, showed all my bookmarks and then when i needed the wikipedia info was excellent. Yes, it may not be a SatNav system, but who wants that when exploring a new city, as long as you know you are heading in the right direction and towards your destination then all the fun is about discovering what is inbetween. Love The App Highly Recommended Easy To Use Does What It Says On The Tin No Messing Around.Version: 1.10
✓ BEST international travel app!!I downloaded the Dublin, Ireland maps. Wow!! This worked amazingly well. I have an iPhone 5, and I switched to airplane mode for my entire trip abroad. The GPS on the phone was able to detect my location on the Offmap, so it was perfect for navigation with no data plan or cell signal. This was extremely helpful as I navigated through the city. The rail map was helpful for the light rail routes (including stops) and the street maps were helpful as we navigated on foot or in a cab. The bus maps were slightly helpful, although there were so many lines running through the city that it was difficult to determine how each bus line traveled through the city or where the actual stop was. Overall, I would definitely recommend this app to anyone planning to travel abroad without using expensive international data plans. When you download the app you get credits to download a couple city maps. Double-check the Offmaps website first to be certain that the map for your desired destination exists, as I believe the development teams are still working to complete some countries..Version: 1.30
✓ Very goodThis app has saved my life many times. It allows you to download from a library of city maps if you're travelling and don't want to pay roaming charges. I've used it in Scandinavia and in the USA. Better (and cheaper) than buying a standalone map each time..Version: 2.02
✓ Really useful...When in Bolivia, South America, earlier this year, having these maps already on my phone was incredibly useful. Just now the creators responded to my request for two extra maps! Now, isn't that good? I think so... Belinda.Version: 1.20
✓ Perfect for travelGreat app to use while traveling to avoid roaming charges. If only it had directions. Still very useful though.Version: 1.30
✓ Fabulous find!We used OffMaps last summer to navigate through Italy: Rome, Tuscany, Florence, Bologna, Venice with ease and assurance! The ability to use the maps without wifi saves the day when you are in open spaces and want to save your roaming charges. The apps are intelligently designed. You can pin info as well as have Wikipedia info on hand in a snap. The transportation routes are at tour fingertips. Highly recommend their "flat rate" plan that allows unlimited map downloads. We Already have next summers venue :Paris, Athens , Turkey and are working the maps magic! No serious traveler should be without! The folks at OffMaps even answer your emails and customize your requests ! Can't ask for better service!.Version: 2.01
✓ Very usefulI liked version 1 better with its ability to customize maps. But this is quite useful too if one is in a metro area. This version uses vector maps which are more compact and download more quickly. Any way to to combine custom maps with vectors?.Version: 1.10
✓ Very useful but...... Wish public transport icons were more distinctive. Having tiny tiny blue icons for ALL public transport options is very confusing. In London where the tube is so important, they should be a different colour to buses..Version: 1.10
✓ What a great appWhen overseas data rates for cell phones are too expensive and you want to use google maps this app is the best alternative - AWSOME.Version: 1.40
✓ Great AppMaps work smooth as silk. Like the bookmark feature, would be good to be able to add own photos to these though as additional places. The map cost is worth it as I travel a lot..Version: 1.26
✓ Everything I was looking for except one (or two)Perfect for my uses. However, it would be nice to have icons (hotel, restaurant, etc.) to attach to my book marks as a way of organizing them. Also, please add a separate field for entering an address. Thanks for your hard work..Version: 1.26
✓ Great app for OS travellersI rate this app highly. Having just returned from Honolulu i used this app every day of my trip. I was so impressed that i am now writing my first review ever, and i am an app junkie! I have read comments that its not as good as google maps, why not use googlemaps blah blah blah, the point of this app to me is that it works flawlessly OS without occurring data roaming charges. Download your destination map, research your destination, bookmark your points of interest and your off! We hired a car and navigated the entire island using offmaps2 driving from bookmark to bookmark, the little blue dot indicating your location/direction of travell as accurate as any google maps i use at home. I dont believe you can "get directions" but this is not a problem if you can read a map, its not hard to see which direction you are going and how to get there. This app is an absolute must for Overseas travellers. If there is a better alternative i would like to know, i did a lot of research and tried some similar apps before deciding this was the best and i was not dissapointed..Version: 1.10
✓ Simple and goodNot many features, just beautiful, detailed, offline maps. Maps tend to cover a large area and the app makes it clear what region the downloaded map covers. Maps cost $0.33 each--well worth it..Version: 2.22
✓ Reinstate Flat Rate?I love this app for travel and am a "flat rate" user. Usually, if I haven't used the app in a few months, I get a message to pay 99¢ or reinstate flat rate. In attempting to reinstate I kept getting a message that my Apple ID was invalid, which I tested on other apps and it worked. I tried a hard reset on my iPad which did not work. Not wanting to change my Apple ID again, I emailed the customer contact link and got a prompt reply from Daniel who sent a voucher for a new flat rate membership. In the meantime I had deleted and reinstalled the app and this fixed the problem. I was impressed with the prompt response from Daniel and highly recommend this app..Version: 2.03
✓ Off maps 2 a Great AppThis is a fantastic app. I have used it for over 2 years now, and it's worked great. You download the cities you're going to visit when you are in a wi-fi zone, and then when you travel your GPS tracks on a map that doesn't use Internet data, which is expensive out of country. It's a great app for Cruisers travelling to foreign ports..Version: 1.40
✓ Still bewilderedAn amazingly WORKING app TO DATE! I still miss some features from the old offmaps such as the ability to download routes, but this passes it with your love to stabilize this and improve it when it first appeared to be a failed app. For those who don't understand what it does, this app downloads maps (which can be a city or county [ex. Orange County, Los Angeles, etc.] or a national park. IF you cannot read (lots of 1 star reviews from idiot people [old reviews]), the $1 purchase ONLY GIVES YOU TWO MAPS. Seriously, I mean, READ THE DARN DESCRIPTION BEFORE YOU BUY THE APP. The flatrate (which gives infinite downloads) costs something like $5, but it's worth it. And if you still don't like that, reinstalling the app gives you your two free map downloads back. This app can determine your location WITHOUT SERVICE, and can do so accurately. And it works seamlessly. The maps are loaded in DETAIL, and within them you can search for ALMOST ANY ADDRESS, OFFLINE. How nuts is that!? Suggestions: as stated above, you should re-add routing into the app. Also, I miss one part of the iOS 6 version of the app: the guide in that was a lot quicker and easy to use than the new one. It was more elegant too. Currently sing iPhone 6, iOS 9.3.3 Previously used with iPhone 4 on iOS 5, iPhone 4S running iOS 5, 6, and 7, as well as my 6 with all versions of 8, 9.0.2, and 9.2.Version: 2.23
✓ LifesaverFantastic for both iPhone and iPad. Current maps, no data mobile data usage required and now access to a fair bit of info about the place you are traipsing around. Street indexing is AOK. Some puddling around working out how pins and bookmarks work, though. Highly recommended..Version: 2.03
✓ Great for GranadaJust spent 2 days in Granada. Paid 99p for app including maps for whole Granada province. Uses gps on phone (only when using app, not in background so no battery problems) to give exact location and direction so good to work out where we were and follow bus / walk route while travelling. All worked offline. Also searched in app (offline) for specific restaurants researched earlier (using Tripadvisor) and see “pin” location to walk to. Also “pin” for our hotel. Additionally downloaded the limited Wikipedia details (free) in app. Well worth the cost as it enabled us to travel around Granada confidently without getting lost..Version: 2.25
✓ Highly RecommendedTravelled to 9 countries and 16 cities in Eastern Europe. Downloaded app in advance, researched sites of interest, bookmarked them on map which made it easy to plan our site seeing routes in each city. Always worked well. Only drawback is that sites are often listed in the language of the country so sometimes difficult to find in the lists provided..Version: 2.03
✓ Brilliant!This app is worth every cent. I just completed three weeks in Europe where I used this app every day (especially good for getting back to the hotel after getting lost in Venice). By far the best feature of this app was the ability to set favorites and drop pins. This allowed me to plan ahead of time what to see and do and never worry about remembering where to go or what direction to take. One thing I would like to see in future updates: the ability to have your favorites synced between devices. This would allow me to use the larger screen of my iPad to plan and set up the map and then use my iPhone while out and about. Regardless, with data roaming switched off and location settings on, this app cost me absolutely nothing while I was overseas. Will be sure to use again on my next trip. Highly recommended..Version: 1.25
✓ Look Ma! No 'net!When traveling, this is an absolute must, you never know when you might be 'just out of range' and yet still need maps for where your heading. This app allows you to plan ahead & have a set of maps for where you will be on-hand without the need of phone connection to the net..Version: 1.27
✓ Off mapsExcellent app. Works perfectly.Version: 2.2
✓ Off mapsGreat when I needed some maps for unusual areas they delivered, quickly really good Gysbertha Meessen.Version: 1.26
✓ Offmaps2Bought an downloaded a few maps for upcoming trip...seem to offer good alternative to multiple SIMs. Also help desk provided quick,courteous resolution to minor query..Version: 2.03
✓ Extra MapsI asked OffMaps about a map that was missing (Koh Samui), they were quick to reply and two weeks later the map appeared on line - great service!.Version: 1.21
✓ Near perfect!Living in Europe, I need offline maps to avoid roaming data in all of the nearby countries. Off Maps 2 works great! Flat rate is a good value My only quibble: sometimes the labeling on the maps is inadequate. For example, in Manhattan, the avenues are labeled once very 20 or 30 blocks and you have to zoom in to read them. This requires you to leave your current navigation area and can be annoying or downright detrimental..Version: 1.40
✓ Point to Point directions?Only purchased this because I thought it was possible to pre map routes. Maybe that feature is there, but I haven't found it as yet. However I do like this app regardless.....the maps are nice and crisp..Version: 1.02
✓ Great app, super useful!I used the app in Spain, France and Switzerland! It was great!! No need of going online! The only thing missing would be the chance of getting directions to or from somewhere, though following the blue dot you can figure it out, it might be helpful. The maps worked well and helped me a lot!.Version: 1.10
✓ NiceWould be nice to be able to connect the different parts of maps we download. Exemple: we are visiting Italy. We have to open to much different maps to make our itinarery..Version: 1.40
✓ Works greatI have an Ipad which includes the gps/cell feature, but I have no data plan. This app works great at finding directions. Do check the publisher's web site to see if the maps for your region have been generated. If it hasn't been send a request, they added a new region I wanted very quickly..Version: 1.30
✓ Brilliant for overseas travelGet this app and purchase the flat map rate. Why ? If traveling overseas especially may major capital and smaller cities you have all your maps on the iPhone - no massive fold out maps or books. Also no data roaming charges - connect to a wifi to get extra maps if you change your travel plans..Version: 1.10
✓ Works fine offline!Very detailed map, and if you know what you are looking for you'll find it. Wikipedia storage can beat tourist guides.Version: 1.21
✓ Pretty decentHas some nice features and a fairly slick ui. Could do with a few extra features though such as importing bookmarks from contact addresses and/or google maps starred locations. I guess routing is too much to hope for though. Minor issues: duplicate street names displayed at close zoom.Version: 1.21
✓ Very goodGreat app, would be 5* if you could drop a pin to mark a position for a car in a car park etc..Version: 1.21
✓ Fantastic travel companionI love this app. I can have maps with me (on my iPhone or iPad) regardless of having a wi-fi connection. Better yet, at the end of the trip, I can delete them -- confident that the next time (if there is such an occasion) I can download them again, and probably get an updated map. I have the $5.99 version -- worth every penny..Version: 1.26
✓ Best app everI never rate apps but this is a first because of how much I like the app. This app totally saved me while I was studying abroad in Europe. Compared to hauling around lots of maps and trying to figure out where you are, this app is so much better. It even shows you the nearest public transportation system (some cities only) so you can find your way there..Version: 1.40
