You Need A Map for Positive User Reviews
✓ Useful!Professionally made app, easy to understand and use. I've been waiting for something like this app. Incredibly useful and well-designed app with great UI/UX! Thanks:).Version: 1.8.4
✓ Simply BrilliantThis is, in my opinion, simply the best US map available for iOS. The developer is very responsive to customer requests and the latest release is simply awesome. Thoroughly recommended..Version: 1.5
✓ Fantastic...butWhat an amazing app. I don't have a 3G connection on my iPad, so I need an app like this to help me navigate. I use it like a traditional paper map, except that i can zoom in when ineed to (if lost). The only reason I took off 1 star is because the names of the streets and avenues are not aligned with their corresponding roads. This is a problem when you get into areas like NYC, where the grid is laid out at an angle. You can't be sure which road the name refers to; however, for the price, I can't complain..Version: 1.2.1
✓ NiceIt's really nice to have a full US map on the device when you're out of cell range or just don't want to burn up data for idle map browsing. The gpx import from Dropbox is really nice also. The ability to edit how the map displays (such as reducing the opacity of the color of parks etc) is a nice feature. Glad I stumbled across this app..Version: 1.5.1
✓ Great in so many waysKey use cases for me… 1. Security- a map at all times of the US downloaded on your phone. I keep an old iPhone 5 loaded up and stored kn the glove compartment. Doesn’t need any cell, just some power. Find your way anywhere in US when cell towers aren’t around. 2. As a photographer- I plan shots ahead of time, especially important for elevation simulation along with sun / shadow simulation. Amazing for this. 3. As an semi outdoorsy enthusiast- an always available map for the backwoods, kayaking, any remote areas. 4. Just plain fun. Visit areas and see the topography in ways others apps just don’t. 5. I have not uploaded GPX files, but I should. Could be cool to see my recorded mountain bike rides from Motion X (GREAT GPS app) Thanks for building this app!.Version: 1.8.17
✓ When You Need a Map, You Need it Badly!Great map. Being able to download and store a high quality map for use in remote areas is great. I also had my buddies download it too so we can all use the same system. Being able to switch to the UTM system is fantastic. This is one of my favorite apps!.Version: 1.5.1
✓ Fantastic!This is a helpful little app to have around. It is actually one of the apps that swayed my decision to buy an iPod. I think that most iPhone users don't realize how helpful it is to have a great offline map database like this for us iPod users that cant always be on the grid. Great job guys!.Version: 1.5.1
✓ Outstanding mapsI jail broke my iPad so I could use a bluetooth gps receiver. I spent my vacation on Lake Mead and was astounded at the detail and route help this app provided. Navigating the coves and channels was made very simple and hiking after beaching was exhilarating knowing this app could tell me what the surroundings were and where the best views were. There was never a worry about returning to the boat. I love this app..Version: 1.4.2
✓ Isle Royale, MIGreat app. But where is Isle Royale, Michigan? The roads are there but the island is missing..Version: 1.8.7
✓ 5 star 5 star 5 starI fly helicopters and alot of different areas where there is no service and this app has a full topo map of the whole USA. Very valuable when I need to no roads, creeks, or even points of interest. I look forward to the future of this app..Version: 1.5
✓ Fabulous!For free, you can't beat the functionality of this app. The only possible downside is the size, especially for the smaller capacity idevices. We used it for a trip from CO to CA, performed flawlessly. Highly recommended, especially for folks with limited data plans..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Outstanding Customer ServiceAfter having issues with trying to import GPX files, Mark Granger was prompt and in depth with his correspondence trying to fix the issue. The app itself is a great overall offline map. I've used it on both cross country flights, and on trails. Lots of great POIs, including many in my local area that I didn't even know about. My only complaint is that is not the most user friendly at times, and it's not very intuitive, but I feel this could be helped with a good user's guide somewhere within the app itself..Version: 1.5
✓ Name says it allI know if I have this app on my phone and my phone in my pocket I can just start driving down a new trail some where in the bush and use this to get back later..Version: 1.8.6
✓ You need to have this map!Every well-prepared person needs to have this map. Also note it takes 3 1/2 GB of space..Version: 1.8.4
✓ Awesome appReally useful app with great design. Highly recommend!.Version: 1.8.4
✓ Ignore negative feedback this app is greatIt is free, downloaded in about 20 minutes i don't know how much space it take i carry a 64gb so i don't care but this app is great just get will be useful wen ending up at a location with no service wifi etc. Just get it.Version: 1.2.1
✓ If you're into maps, This Is It!After several emails back and forth to Mark, I'm convinced he's in this project for the long haul. He has taken the incredible depth of the Open Street project and has placed it onto your iPad, iPhone, etc. -- without the continuous need for an internet connection. The interface is very clean and intuitive, and I highly recommend this app for basic navigation, and browsing. Try it, and I think you'll agree. Really looking forward to the next iteration!.Version: 1.2.1
✓ ThanksI like the user interface, very easy and intuitive! Thank you for the app!.Version: 1.8.4
✓ Folks, it's a full on US mapEvery small garage map for local areas all in one place, with no need for cell-service or wifi. You're virtually storing close quarters google maps for the entire US, accessible anywhere, any time. Only makes sense. What on earth could be better use of space if you prefer small adventurous ways highways and freeways? I may add on the 3D, I think it may well be worth the 2 clams (less than one starbucks plain brewed coffee)… we'll see…...Version: 1.5.1
✓ Airborne and InformedApp worked like a charm from the window seat on a long flight (above 10,000 ft -- no FAA rules broken) to track my progress. Amazed myself and seatmate to see that the flight had diverted hundreds of miles off expected route with no announcement to avoid a big storm. Enroute we were able to identify what we were seeing--lakes, rivers, cities and highways AND know speed, heading and altitude of the aircraft! This app takes as much room on my iPad as a good movie but it's a keeper. Only wish there were equivalent maps for Europe!.Version: 1.5.1
✓ Great map to have in usaThis is a surprisingly good application for iphone..it is a big program though at 1.9 Gb or so but that is because it has an excellent map of the USA. So it can be useful to have as reference like an atlas in your back pocket..but that part i really like is that it is also a gps tracking tool, which will save tracklogs as gpx files which you can collect and view with other dedicated programs like topofusion etc..it's well worth the extra memory on my 16 Gb iphone 4s... *note added later..i'd like to ask a request of the developers to make this app just a little bit better...typically any gps unit takes perhaps a minute or so obtain a good signal for location data, i wish that some kind of status icon or other could be put onto the screen...that way the user can wait that minute or so before starting a trip (bike, car, whatever)...so that the shole trip is caught on the track, if you leave before signal then you loose that part...hopefully this is not too much trouble to insert in a sebsequent version...thanks so much for the useful program!.Version: 1.5.1
✓ This app rocks!I can't say enough good things about this app. I've been using it while hiking in remote locations and it is awesome to be able to have a map combined with GPS while off-line. The maps are very high-quality with details of backroads and hiking trails even. Highly recommended!.Version: 1.8.2
✓ Great app could be betterI love that this app is free! I also love that it can work without any Internet connection. My only complaint is that it is out of date or something. My whole subdivision doesn't even show up. I can find where it should be, but it's not there. Our subdivision has been here for more than 5 yrs now. Some of the street names in other places don't show up either or are out of date also. Overall, thou, a great app..Version: 1.2.1
✓ More useful than I imaginedI was aware this was a monster file and questioned whether to keep it on my iPad, just to conserve bandwidth devoted to upgrades. I didn't seem to have an actual use for it, other than general map geekery. Then I wound up on the coast of northern California with no internet connection, trying to figure out where it would be OK to drive a largish RV. No "phone a friend" here. YNAM to the rescue. Located our position and provided great detail on our options. I'll never leave home without it again. That said, I only gave it 4 stars because it can be so much more. Three specific improvements come to mind. First, every screen should have roads identified, no matter what the zoom level. Second, tiny type is unreadable. There should be a minimum size that will be displayed, no matter what the zoom level. Third, some way to highlight roads or points of interest, maybe make this road, say CA-1, always show as pink until I change the highlight to US-101, then it's pink. Just a thought. Then you could dream about route planning capabilities, with saved routes and all manner of optimization tools. I really do need that map. All said and done, a really useful tool, with room for growth. Think I'll go download the 3D Mapping capability..Version: 1.5.1
✓ Powerful tool for Helicopter Search & RescueUPDATED 10-AUG-2018: I LOVE THIS APP- I’ve been utilizing this app as a back up (honestly, primary) to the onboard navigation equipment on a Navy MH-60S specifically for SAR Ops and identifying names and locations of local landmarks, roads, and popular trails such as the Pacific Crest Trail which is well marked within the app. UPDATE: I've also used all over the Pacific, midway, Japan, Indo, Vietnam, Singapore, Sri Lanka, PI, Indo-Asia area with zero issues. I've found that if I know where I'm going ahead of time, I'll get on Wi-Fi or data and conduct a map study, zoom in, and then cache the maps with the necessary zoom in detail as required for my flight missions. The only downside to this app is that it requires around 2GB of memory on your device to store the 3D maps (UPDATE: I got a new phone so memory is no longer an issue). But for what I do, even if I was limited on memory, I’m more than willing to give up that space on my phone/ipad for this app and the cached map data. Although I give it 5 stars, there is always room for improvement. For instance, I've got a lot of stored waypoints. I'd like to be able to prioritize my favorite waypoints towards the top of my list instead of having to scroll all the way to the bottom just to access my most frequently used ones. (If there is a way to already do that, I haven't figured it out). Also, I'd like to see the satellite imagery updated. For the price of the app and In-app Purchase, this is the best tool for the SAR community that I’ve used so far. I’ve paired my phone with a Bad Elph GPS Rx’r for better SAT reception when the phones onboard Rx’r just won’t cut it. The app eats up battery quick so when using it for extended searches/Nav, make sure you’ve got an external battery..Version: 1.8.6
✓ YNAMThe best in Canada AND elsewhere..Version: 1.8.10
✓ It's FREE!It's a free app and is very useful for those that don't have 3G or a wifi available. If you want glitz and glam go with google. Those stuck with no connection will use this and be better for it! Thank you!.Version: 1.2.1
✓ Great to have a map of the US in such detail - all for 99 cents!What a great app! Download the database so you have access to an entire hi-resolution map of the US, even when not connected to the Internet! Great detail, allows excellent rendition of the contours with variable sun position. Rivers and Streams, Contours, Points of Interest, Essentially every road in the entire US. File size is 2 GB - not bad for such detail!.Version: 1.2.1
✓ Awesome free gps mapping!!!This is a free gps map app that you can use while you are offline. I use it for off-roading, flying, hiking, fishing and mountain biking. Most map apps require you to be online which is useless for what I need a map for. If you just need directions to the grocery store, this is not for you. This app is quite large because you download all the maps to your device. I've used it on both my iPhone and iPad and it works great. Thanks for the great app!.Version: 1.7.4
✓ Great offline navigation!Excellent! Just used this app on a scenic mountain drive. Not having to worry about losing date in the mountains is a great piece of mind and the 3D topo greatly enhances situational awareness. I also find not using turn by turn directions to be less intrusive, especially for a spontaneous drive. Just use the GPS location and the ground track to make sure you don't make a wrong turn somewhere. Can't wait to take this hiking..Version: 1.8.4
✓ Great for back road travelIf you just need city and big highway maps then download anything. They're all the same. BUT if you get off-road or deep into the back country GET THIS APP. I've tried many. This beats them all..Version: 1.8.4
✓ Exactly what we needed!We wanted detailed US maps that were local to the iPad and would not require connectivity when we are out of range of anything. This app is perfect. Great maps, great features. Can't wait to take a road trip with this!.Version: 1.2.1
✓ Exactly what I wanted!I have an iPad mini withOUT cell connectivity, and am therefore dependent upon having access to wi-fi to use googlemaps or similar--not so helpful when I'm out and about. I also don't have a smartphone. So, what I really wanted was a road atlas I could use on the go. This app provides that and so much more! (FYI--I just have the free app; no fancy-schmancy 3D upgrades or anything.) I've only had it a little while, but I'm confidant it can provide whatever map info I need, anywhere in the continental U.S. (maybe Alaska and Hawaii too, I just haven't looked). I can zoom in or out to whatever level of detail I need and the road/place names adjust to my new level. The "so much more" aspect is that, while I would have been happy with a simple road atlas, this app also shows topography and features, both natural and man-made. Great info! I do get the feeling all this quality is using up a lot of memory, but for me, it's worth it..Version: 1.4.3
✓ If you have a free 2 GB on your device then I recommend you check this outFor a USA map, this has to be the best I have seen. Sure there is an in-app request to purchase more detailed maps, but for a straightforward free look at the place you cannot go wrong..Version: 1.2.1
✓ AwesomeGreat map app!.Version: 1.8.4
✓ Excellent update for an excellent app.The latest update is great! You can add GPX files directly from safari downloads via the share sheet. I couldn’t be more impressed with the app. I really appreciate the customer service. Prompt responses to emails and delivering the goods World class work. Thank you.Version: 1.8.9
✓ It just worksAfter searching high and low for a good offline map for my 2G iPod Touch I found this gem. After a moment to adjust the settings to my liking (map shading, etc…) there is nothing I can really get nit-picky about. Though I wish the bike paths were a bit more up to date, and I did find an error on a road name - but to be fair not many people know the names of obscure logging roads in Upper Michigan and the bike path in my town is pretty new. In short, this is a US atlas in an iPod with the level of detail of a plat book. Top form Mark Granger PROS: free, an efficient UI, finally an adjustable map output, stable, fairly quick between zoom settings (use the +/- buttons). CONS: not worth getting worked up over..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Works well offlineThis is not the most beautiful app I've seen, but it does exactly what it says. Five stars.Version: 1.8.4
✓ Dark Mode glitchHey developers, When using dark mode, all alphanumeric values in ‘tracks’ will not display. The portion of tracks that I can edit will only display emojis and nothing that I have written or what is programmed to be there prior to edit. The bottom segment of tracks that I can’t edit remains visible in either mode. Just thought I’d let ya know😎.Version: 1.8.11
✓ AwesomeI'm a Commercial Pilot and purchased an iPad 3 in anticipation of our company approving our charts and approach plates for use on our pads. In the mean time I wanted to have fun with my iPad 3 while commuting to and from my base so I purchased an Ultimate GPS unit which works great but wanted a moving map app to see where I was over the US. You Need a Map app recognizes the Ultimate GPS unit and gives you Lat, Long, Altitude, Speed and you can watch your progress over the ground. To my surprise this app works well with the Ultimate GPS. This is an amazing app!!.Version: 1.2.1
✓ Need retina display for the new iPad pleaseDear developer, can you please add retina display graphics for the app called "you need a map" it would be great because my new iPad or might as well call it the iPad third generation would need good graphics for this app I find this app very useful and I would love to have a nice clear sharp map on my new iPad so thanks and please take this note under consideration. Many thanks.Version: 1.2.1
✓ What an awesome appI've used this app many times when I was without cell coverage (Big Bend Nat'l Park, Glacier Nat'l Park, Buffalo Nat'l River and more) and it's very helpful. Many thanks to the author for providing what is actually a great public service - a detailed map of the United States with GPS tracking and no cell coverage needed. Awesome app!.Version: 1.5.1
✓ Joe PilotDitto on the update not loading. Really like the app though and I'm sure a fix will be soon as I'm looking forward to the new features. A bit more intuitive user friendliness will be welcome. The best feature is that the maps are loaded onto my machine and do not have to come on the server. This is one of the very few map programs that I can use in a plane, out of the reach of any cell coverage..Version: 1.5
✓ Free detailed US maps, always there? Amazing.This app was worth $10 to me when it first came out, even with 1/3 of the mapping info. I've used it enough times and in enough situations to say that it has not only paid for itself, but also the iPhone. Having an always available detailed map of the U.S., with GPS … what can I say? It's the main reasons I got a higher-memory iPhone..Version: 1.2.1
✓ It works fine out of cell phone rangeIt is an offline map. It works fine when you are out of cell phone range. You do not need gps signal to use the map, you only need gps signal to update your location on the map. If you have a cell phone model device that does 3g or later, then you also have a built in gps. If you don't have a 3g or later device, you can still do gps with a bluetooth device like bad elf pro. But even without a gps the map still works, though you have to figure out where you are. All of the street names etc still show up, as do the topo lines..Version: 1.4.3
✓ Useful for what it isWonderful off-line map; very handy in those cases where you have poor data service to work with the GPS! Nothing super-fancy about the maps, but that doesn't seem to be its primary use..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Can be very helpfulI got lost once in the woods returning from hunting at night. This app helped me navigate my way back out of the woods. I love the option of tracking where you have been so you don't backtrack..Version: 1.8.4
