Pocket Earth PRO for Positive User Reviews
✓ This is an outstanding ApWe have used this for several years now and it’s probably the best map out there. If you want SatNav then it’s not the best since you have to be online to route or reroute but for manual map reading it’s brilliant. We use it for trips and walking since most of the walking tracks are also available. The fact that it’s offline for most of the time is a huge benefit and the link to Wikipedia it just brilliant. Get the Pro version and the contours add a extra dimension. The best App on my phone!.Version: 3.6
✓ Essential map app for offline travelingUsing PocketEarth beats fussing with some giant map on the streets of a foreign city hands down. Its many levels of detail (all filterable) and offline functionality make it superior to Google Maps fir iOS. If it had iCloud syncing for one's custom pins, routes and favourites mine would be a 5-star review in a heartbeat. Word is, the devs are working on this, count this as my encouragement! PocketEarth is well worth the price..Version: 1.2.2
✓ Fantastic!!It’s an app that works everywhere I have been in Europe and North America. The detail has been outstanding..Version: 3.6
✓ Great app for outdoor!Amazing app! Way to customize the route such as avoid hill in cycling is something never seen in other apps! At any time any location you can see your moving speed and altitude. So many features am so excited about. Real masterpiece if you are all for outdoor activities! Better than any other popular and heavily advertised apps out there! Don’t get blown away by so many options initially. Once you get used to it, it’s hard to find anything else that can compete with this one!.Version: 3.5.1
✓ ZmGreat app but need to improve downloading maps - full download every update not that good..Version: 3.4.6
✓ Très bonne applicationParfaite pour les voyages car elle peut être utilisé sans connexion. J'ai downloadé toute l'Italie avant mon voyage et je m'en suis servi tout les jours. C'est super de pouvoir mettre ses propres points sur la carte, je notais ou j'avais mis la voiture. Les note wikipedia sont aussi intéressante quznd on visite une ville. Vraiment une excellente application!.Version: 3.1.2
✓ Pocket EarthMy only disappointment is lack of waterway names. Most ocean, sea, lakes and rivers are not named in map. Also, it takes multiple attempts to download requested maps; very time consuming!.Version: 3.8.4
✓ Best Place to visit at Chitwan,Nepal on the bank of Narayani RiverThumbs Up with Attraction Visit Nepal.Version: 3.4.6
✓ When will I have to pay?!It’s seems unbelievable you can download maps from all around the world with just a £5 upfront cost. So far so good, I’ll be quick to lower the rating if you do have to pay, there’s nothing wrong with paying but it would be misleading.Version: 3.4.6
✓ Great appCo ordinates numbers could be a bit larger but otherwise a great app..Version: 3.6
✓ Fantastic AppWorth the price.Version: 3.0.5
✓ FantasticIt's great.Version: 3.7
✓ One of the BEST except for route planningThis is a stand-out app in its class. I am a hiker and I use it all the time. It comes into its own when you are doing recce's and want to track where you have been. The topographic overlays are great. And when I go to remote areas I really like the feature that allows me to download maps first. And the GPX export is nice. BUT route planning had some serious issues. It refuses to recognise walking tracks even when 'walking' is selected as the transport mode - when you add a waypoint right in the middle of the track it tries to back-track down roads to find an alternate to that point - my 14km day walked turned into 29km. I mapped out a trek that was a complex figure-of-eight route using roads and walking tracks and I ended up with routes going everywhere and it became a useless mess. Also, the map failed to load several times and I had to restart the app. The developers either need to fix this, or allow you add numbered waypoints and just draw straight route lines between them so you can see the order in which to tackle the route, and you can work it out visually from there. So, nice work, but PLEASE fix the route planning feature - I don't care if the calculated routes are straight lines as a first step :-) Hope that input is useful..Version: 3.4.4
✓ Great travel companion.I was recommended this app by fellow travellers while in Thailand, I have used it to navigate all around the world and it has saved all my pins to look back on. I don’t use it for turn by turn sat nav but the mapping and POI are the best I’ve used and the fact it’s offline is invaluable when travelling with no internet. It’s one of the reasons I have stuck with an iPhone for so long! Please keep updating it!.Version: 3.5.1
✓ Most valuable app I have ever downloaded!!I have used this app in over 25 countries in Asia, North America, Australia & South America. It has never once let me down on location or detail. The offline feature means I don't need wifi or local SIM card with data. I swear it has saved me hundreds of dollars in taxi fares because I know things are within walking distance or the app shows a bus/train route. Love love love this app and I recommend this to nearly every other backpacker I come across. Most valuable app I have ever purchased..Version: 2.6.2
✓ Very useful offline in difficult GPS areasHave used in off road conditions and found maps to be excellent.Version: 3.6.3
✓ Great for cycle touringOur great standby while planning 4 long cycle trips in France, 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019. Wished we'd had it in 2012! Also used extensively at home in Australia. Fantastic that you can have all your maps downloaded and be independent of wifi connections. We have a cellular version of the iPad, but no SIM - we rely on the GPS capacity + the downloaded maps to locate ourselves whenever in doubt. Also worth adding that it's just as useful for car touring & I like it's not another Google product!.Version: 3.6
✓ Highly recommended for traveller without continuous data accessI wanted a simple way to preload detailed maps onto an ipad and use it on a trip without having to incur wireless costs. From my tests it looks like once you explore a city (zoom in) it auto downloads detailed maps. I've turned off wireless access and browsed in detail on a number of cities. Those that were downloaded already worked fine. Those that weren't gave an download error message when I tried to zoom in. Like I said this is exactly what I would expect it to do. I'm going to try loading some pois as an experiment but this is bonus functions. UPDATE: currently sitting in Paris, and very happy with this app. Has been terrific for this European vacation. Shows bus stops, subway stops and monument names for cities we've visited. Used many times to find out where we were. Used many times to find out if we were going in the right direction. Has extensive wiki articles on many (not all) of the major sites. Have shown it to others who can't believe this isn't an online app. (i have no data plan here - just preloaded the cities we visit, and occasional stops at wifi zones). I even used it to look up one restaurant we were trying to find in London (Vapiano). It happened to be one of the ones that was listed, so we could just walk to it without a detour to a wifi hotspot (like Starbucks) to google it. FYI, I found i also need to install a metro and bus route planner that works offline. I highly recommend this app for anyone taking a European vacation who will not have a data plan. Thanks to the team who put this together! This is a great app. Excellent work. UPDATE 2017-07 I still use this map regularly and for some use cases. First, anywhere I don't have data access, which can be out of country or back country. Second, it has hiking and cycling trails and at times has made hiking route selection much easier..Version: 3.4.5
✓ A must-have for world travelA phenomenal tool for travel of all sorts. I’ve used this primarily for navigating the bush in sub-Saharan Africa, but have found it useful for travel most anywhere, especially when wanting to quickly share information and locations with other people..Version: 3.8.3
✓ ExcellentPocket Earth is my go to map for walks Love the off line package.Version: 3.7
✓ My go-to travel planning toolI like to plan my trips well, and that means being able to find and mark locations on map and plan routes. I have found no better tool for this. Takes a little work to figure out how best to use - but worth the investment. My top desires for future updates is to be able to turn off all Wikipedia icons and even better ability to turn off all icons other than the ones saved - I like to print off maps that show my locations of interest but map gets too cluttered with unwanted icons..Version: 3.6
✓ By far the best travel maps app out there!I have used Pocket Earth for a few years now for All my travels through Europe, Cuba, USA and Canada. There is nothing that can touch it for on and offline map needs. Very easy to use! Accurate! I love the ability to input and save all the information I need for every stop I bookmark. If I could give them 6 stars I would! Keep up the great work! Love it!.Version: 3.1.2
✓ BrilliantIt’s Brilliant, It’s a very good price, It’s so accurate,.Version: 3.6
✓ Great offline MapsUse this app all the time when backpacking/hiking in the bush or travelling outside the country where I don't have data. With a little planning ahead I always know where I am and how to get where I'm going. Only complaint is app navigation. It is difficult at first to figure out how to do what you want..Version: 3.3.1
✓ Absolutely fantasticUsed this app for multiple different outdoor activities where online maps are not practical. For cycling: you can import predefined gpx files and display them on the app. Then follow the overlayed gpx on open street map data. Configure the app so that it centers on your location and rotates with course heading. Superb for this application. Also for hiking, has all of the common footpaths and routes for you to follow. Works well using GPS in airplane mode in order to save battery. For hiking it shows roads over footpaths which can be confusing for sections where a footpath follows a road. Otherwise, a fantastic app that was well worth the £2. Get involved..Version: 2.6.2
✓ Pocket EarthThis is an excellent app. The map shows topography very well plus all the geographic features such as rivers, marshes, mountains etc. Road, rail, cycle and walking tracks are clearly located and identified..Version: 2.5
✓ Well down for finally updatingOnly took you 3 years!.Version: 3.6.3
✓ Good butCurrently won’t geolocate, even though all settings seem on, GPS location, phone data , so forth. Worked before last update. Finally fixed problem, app must have glitched settings on update, change location to ‘always’, and then back to ‘only while using’, now good......Version: 3.6.6
✓ Brilliant app for country walksDownloading maps in advance with the free wikipedia entries by location provide give you the opportunity to go almost anywhere and know all the walking routes and landmarks. The detail when you zoom in- down to footpaths, powerlines and post boxes really helps along with the easy display of which way you are facing.Version: 3.7.3
✓ Great App!Great detail, excellent offline features, GPS - very useful exploring Montenegro and the Balkans..Version: 3.3
✓ Pocket Earth ProExcellent app just keeps getting better and better, don't leave home without it. Most comprehensive offline maps I have come across. Great route planning tools also..Version: 3.4.3
✓ Best offline bike touring app!I am an avid bicycle tourer and I have used pocket earth in Canada, France, Italy, Spain, Thailand, Morocco and Portugal. I spend my days riding beautiful small roads with no traffic on the routs suggested by this app. The additional option for topo maps is wonderful. Because it uses open maps local cycle trails are often marked in the most remote places. If they added elevation profiles I would never use anything else. Well worth the learning curve to figure out how to use the app well. The support is also great!.Version: 3.1.2
✓ Awesome app, works very wellHi Love this app, have been using it for 2 years now and have had no issues. Uploading GPX files works like a charm and I never felt that it drains phone battery too much..Version: 3.7.3
✓ Nothing else comes close to Pocket Earth4 years I've been using this app. 4 years I've been in love with this app. 4 years I've seen continuous improvements. 5 stars doesn't describe how much I appreciate your work!!.Version: 3.3
✓ PerfectIt just work and being in areas where the is little to no reception half the time I don’t have to worry about a silly data connection..Version: 3.6
✓ GREAT CAMPING TOOLI found Pocket Earth Pro several years ago and since then I have hundreds and hundreds of Australian camping locations ‘saved’ along with P.O.I (points of interest) that includes bakeries, Bunnings (Australian Hardware Store chain), etc. I attach comment on camp sites and even photos taken from above by Google Earth. To get these photos I do a cut and paste from a relative P.E.Pro camp site of its GPS Coordinates and paste them into Google Earth and then zoom in for a close look at the chosen camp site. I then take a screen shot of the camp site and paste it into P.E.Pro. Another good point is that if you zoom into a town you will see the names of all the roads and streets. I rate Pocket Earth Pro 10/10.Version: 3.8
✓ Nice to be off data traveling!Works great so far, missing the odd metro station but I can live with that. No data costs is the highlight. Recommended!.Version: 1.2.2
✓ Absolute must for offline useIf you are going overseas and don't want to get killed with data roaming charges, download all the maps you'll need while you have wifi access and then when you're out and about you can get where you want to go without breaking the bank balance. Would like easier / more intuitive access to explanations of what the various functions are and how to access them. Still trying to work out how to delete a pin! All in all though, an excellent app for travellers..Version: 1.4
✓ Great appWe used Pocket Earth Pro to navigate a 2500 km cycle trip around France. It was indispensable. We used it to select cycle paths and low traffic roads between destinations. It also helped us to find food and lodgings near our routes. Highly recommend this app..Version: 3.6
✓ BrilliantIt’s a fantastically useful addition to the various map apps that I have. I use the route tracking facility often—it’s great for sending to friends so that they can see your route in Google Earth. But gosh, how I wish I could find out how to remove all the categories of POIs that I’m not interested in. Sometimes my maps are covered with so many POI symbols it’s hard to see the map!.Version: 3.5.1
✓ Best Travel CompanionPocket Earth is a great tool for travelling for leisure or work. I love to pre- plan a bike tour and then simply follow it on my phone. It especially makes it easy to traverse built up areas without getting lost. A game changer for bike touring. Happy days 😃😃🙏🙏.Version: 3.8.4
✓ Best Nav AppI travel a lot around the world and use this app everywhere I go. At new places, I drop pins first at the hotel, the work site, then all the restaraunts, convenient stores and other points of interest. When I walk around, I set a track to the pins so I know which direction to walk. I can get coordinates from Google Maps and use it to drop pins too..Version: 3.7.3
✓ Value for money with room for improvementsThis is still the best offline IOS map program I know, however it is no match for Google maps search capabilities. It's a shame that in time-poor situations I prefer switching to Google maps rather than fiddling with Pocket Earth Pro online. Car navigators accomplish this task easily with addresses, POIs. It would be an idea to offer map downloading options with or without offline search, where the searchable version would obviously occupy mor space. Pros - offline maps occupy reasonably small disk space - offline tracking is very good - being able to switch any time among online/lan/offline, independently from iPad settings - map downloading options of city only or country Cons - even the online recorded route's voice guidance stops working if you deviate from the route. This makes a poor quality offline voice guidance: the voice instruction to return to the route is useless - unable to search anything offline, even on a downloaded map, is a significant limitation.Version: 3.1.1
✓ Invaluable app.I use Pocket Earth regularly when hiking in Spain. It shows exactly where you are and a blue arrow on the map shows the direction your phone is pointing in. Brilliant. When you go hiking there is a blue line showing where you’ve been and on conclusion it shows details including distance time and the route taken. If you tap on one of the icons at any time it shows you exactly where you are on the map which is very useful. Recommended..Version: 3.6
✓ Vraiment bienTrès complet.Version: 3.4.5
✓ Great app with offline maps and detailHighly recommended! You can save maps for use offline so you never need to worry about WiFi or expensive data. You can download only the maps you need and delete them whenever you need to save space. The detail is also better than google maps and there are maps for areas that Google don’t have. Worth every cent!.Version: 3.6
✓ Great portable mapsPocket Earth is a wonderful app for those that travel without a local SIM card. By downloading the maps of whichever country you are visiting onto your tablet of phone you will have access to them at anytime. Save the places that you are interested in visiting to find them quickly when you are there. I have used it in Peru, Greece, USA and so many other places and it always works a treat. The only thing that it lacks is the ability to give you step by step instructions when you are off line unless you have prepared them previously. I use this app all the time..Version: 3.6
✓ MeI bought this app to enable me to use tracks for an upcoming cycling trip in Slovenia. The ease with which I was able to load the necessary map and then the gpx tracks made available to me was remarkable. I look forward to using the navigation features on the trip..Version: 3.5
✓ Needs a 6th starStill the best iOS navigation by a country mile and it is a delight to see updates still coming out The only slight blemish is the third party routing engine. Although there are regular OSM mapping data updates Mapquest can sometimes struggles to apply GPS traces and new roads etc are therefore not always routed along.Version: 3.6.1
✓ Invaluable for cyclistsFirst of all, you *can* use the maps offline but you have to download them to your device's memory first. The ability to do this and the flexibility of how much mapping to have is great. Offline maps including, uniquely in my experience, the option to overlay signposted cycle routes, is so useful for the touring cyclist. Another valuable feature is the capacity to store waypoints and plot routes between them, and then to edit these. It would be useful if routes had the option to show altitude profiles, but being able to export a route as a GPX file to another app to do this makes up for that. In summary, this app is a real find..Version: 3.1.1
✓ Pocket Earth3 This is my third comment. And I meant to give you 4 stars this time! Pocket Earth is good, it’s world wide and I wouldn’t be without it but it’s not easy to use on an iPad and even worse on a wonderful iPad mini! And it’s really really frustrating when one looses stuff when you zoom in, particularly when you loose a place name or half a place name. Please tidy it up as I’d love to give you 5 stars,!! 2 My original comment is below and since then I have discovered some of the problems. Eg yesterday I mapped a cycle route across Holland. 1 The node points and numbers only appear on the most magnified maps making it difficult to map 2 Sometimes it seems the numbers one and next are on different levels 3 Then having downloaded the map at the most magnified level every time I turned the map on I lost a different part of the map. 4 It makes using the app for cycling difficult and frustrating ORIGINAL COMMENT OF 2014 which still is true. Probably the most brilliant App I have down loaded. I use it daily, I have down loaded brilliant maps in both UK and NZ, I haven't mastered it yet, I need to work on the route mapping facility and there may be some small glitches there. But quite brilliant, I wouldn't be without Pocket Earth..Version: 3.6
✓ Works like a champLOVE the fact that it works offline. I put it on my trusty iPod and not needing wifi or internet makes it an indispensable asset when I travel to remote areas. Sometimes I disagree with its choices for fastest or shortest routes, but on the other hand that frequently reveals alternate routes I can use when my preferred ones are jammed with traffic. I wish for the option to enter street intersections as a destination. Sometimes you don't have an address but you otherwise know exactly where you'd like to go. If its possible to do so and I missed it, my apologies. :).Version: 3.4.6
✓ Love itA great map in many ways. It isn’t interactive like the Apple and Google maps, but it is great as a street map and for use off-line (even when flying). I like the fact that it shows you how fast you are going..Version: 3.6
✓ Great mapping toolGood offline map with tracks, topography (additional cost, though) and points of interests (more could be added). It would be nice it the map showed toilets and free/ cheap campsites..Version: 3.6
✓ 2023 update- still the best! Easy to use, all offline. Fantastic.Best offline mapping I have used. Maps are regularly updated, the app seemingly less so but works really well. With a few quid over the free version..Version: 3.8.3
✓ Fantastic appWe full time in our Motorhome and travel continuously. We use this app so much for hikes and general information. So easy to download each country..Version: 3.8.3
✓ FeedbackGreat app really good when there is no signal for telephone Text on roads could be larger when zooming in for older folks. Otherwise pretty good. Thanks.Version: 3.6
✓ I have used this app all over the world and it is nothing short of awesome. Indispensable.This is a must-have app when traveling to rural areas, small towns and out of the way places. Extremely detailed offline data base makes navigating a cinch..Version: 3.6
✓ Highly detailed mapsYou never know when you might find yourself without the network so you really should get this now while you can. Might save you in a sticky situation!.Version: 3.8.3
✓ Good features- hard to use properlyI love the detail and being able to store all of Australia so I’m ready anywhere. It is a pain to navigate through the features. You need to be in a map to select the home menu. I haven’t read all of the help but enough to see that you need a lot of practice and trial and error to switch between recording tracks , titling, deleting , getting navigation going, hiding previous tracks from your map etc eyc.Version: 3.8.4
✓ Best offline map appFantastic app for traveling Overseas. It not only shows where the bus, tram & train stops are, it also shows the bus/tram number that frequents the stop and where they go and the path they take..Version: 3.5.1
✓ Pocket EarthGood offline maps but you need to remember to download your anticipated routes so that they are in your device. Not great with hiking trails yet but roads have been accurate. Digital terrain model and topo lines is a great addition. The app is well worth the few dollars it costs - have used it for nearly 8 years now..Version: 3.6
✓ Skater PaulIt is a very good mapping system, I have used it in UK,Spain,Holland,France,Brussels,Canada. For a number of years. Downloaded maps for offline use, to save phone data and roaming charges great. Only problem that I have had is that to plan a route, it has to be done online, So pre-planning is needed when you can find wifi, otherwise great..Version: 3.6
✓ Brilliant appOne of my favourite apps . Works great offline while overseas so can save on data roaming fees. Have been using it locally as have found extensive information about my area that I didn't know existed particularly cycling routes and tracks . The cons : POIS makes maps too cluttered . I wish there was a option to allow your personal preference of multiple points of interest and remove all the clutter. When there are so many POIS it makes it very difficult to see the map well , particularly when your in a city..Version: 3.5.1
✓ Great Resource!I bought this so I would have maps when I had no cell service. We’ve used this in Europe and for some Caribbean cruises. Just download the maps you need before you leave. I also appreciate the POI data which is included..Version: 3.7.3
✓ Works well!Works well and does the job, even from kilometres in the sky on an aeroplane!.Version: 3.3
✓ Great mapVery clear easy to read map. Great to have down loaded maps so that I can still navigate even when my phone has no signal..Version: 3.8.4
✓ Brilliant appThis app has been soooo useful especially on holiday where mobile signal patchy or absent. Ability to download maps in advance is just brilliant. Thanks for such a brilliant creation..Version: 3.6
✓ Best hiking gps app, periodI’ve tried and used a lot of hiking gps app. I used to be a big fan of MotionX-gps but the developer seems to have discontinued support as it is now longer in the app store. Since I wasnt really satisfied with the other hiking gps apps I already own, I looked around for a replacement. Then I found Pocket Earth Pro! Wow! Just as intuitive an interface as Motion X but more up to date detailed informative free maps. So I moved all my tracks and way points over and I am one happy camper! Literally! Everything is more up to date regarding iOS. Even streets are named. Wikipedia links to POIs. A fabulous upgrade for me. Highly highly recommended! 5 stars!.Version: 3.6.3
✓ Pocket EarthGreat app. Crappy support.Version: 3.8.2
✓ Very useful appBeen using this since about 2012. Always found it easy to use and can pin places on the maps. The wiki entries are always useful. Always nice to be able to read about a place while your there or passing it. One of my most useful travel apps..Version: 3.6
✓ Been Great for years!I have used this app on numerous trips around North America. The ability to download content for off line use is an excellent feature that I have used on all my trips..Version: 3.1.2
✓ Good AppGood maps and kept current. Reason for 4 stars is the updating process is very tedious. To update the maps you have, you must actually go to the country and update that location’s maps. Must keep the app open to do so. Best to update the maps overnight, as it’s a pain in the neck during waking hours..Version: 3.6.3
✓ Application génialeUn must pour les voyageurs. Je prépare un voyage en Europe et cette application me permet de tracer des itinéraires, de cibler des points d'intérêts, de mesurer les distances, d'inscrire des notes pour chacune des destinations, bref tout ce dont j'avais besoin. Il ne reste qu'à savoir si sur place tout fonctionnera comme prévu. Pour l'instant, je suis grandement impressionné de tout ce que l'on peut faire. En plus, les cartes sont très facilement lisibles et agréables à consulter..Version: 3.1.1
✓ Vertical Route Planner/Tracker, etc.I’ve been using this app for several years now and I’m very happy to see that it continues to be updated. Don’t be lazy. Take time to understand the user interface. It’s well thought out. If you do you will find Pocket Earth great for planning travels, recording tracks and discovering places of interest at way points. Finally, you can download maps that cover your route even when you lack internet..Version: 3.7.3
✓ An Outstanding App!I genuinely love using this App. The user interface and overall quality of the information is really quite astonishing. The HD quality maps are a joy to behold and thus far have never let me down - not even once! I’m so happy to see regular updates have resumed and because of this I will keep on recommending it to friends, family and work colleagues. Buy it now... you really will thank yourself that you did..Version: 3.6.3
✓ Great backup navigation app.This app shows information other map apps do not. It’s saved me a few times..Version: 3.6
✓ Great for hiking.There are so many features l use: - I download maps on my phone so I don’t need to use the cell phone network or the internet. - It shows more hiking trails than any other map app that I’ve used. - It shows bus and train routes for all the cities and counties I’ve traveled to. - I can add notes to my Favorite and can group them. You can also create a Favorite. - It shows elevation and speed (if you’re moving) even in airplane mode. - It sometimes displays house numbers in cities. I don’t use it for driving and it doesn’t give audio directions..Version: 3.6
✓ Best offline maps app!Excellent app that allows offline maps that work with GPS without the use of data. You can download just a city a state / province or an entire country of maps for offline use. Very handy when you lose cell phone data coverage!.Version: 3.4.3
✓ Excellent map when your off or onlineSo far this has been great for hiking trails and tracking. It's been very accurate when off line. Haven't tested it out fully. This spring we will put it through our back country trail tests..Version: 3.0.5
✓ Awesome!Got me round the world and saved my bacon on multiple occasions. OpenStreetMap could have more points of interest for some non-English speaking locales, but that's not the app's fault..Version: 1.2.2
✓ Love it - and I'm a map geekI LOVE this map. I first used it many years ago with my iTouch and now have the Pro version on my iPhone. You can navigate with iPhone even if you have no cell coverage; the GPS still works. I always pre-download maps when I travel. I can then navigate off line, which saves data fees as well as battery. The ability to switch which maps are downloaded is great, and very easy. I can for example download British Columbia topo maps for a backcountry trip; then later remove it before downloading Italy for my next trip. The level of detail and the number of "points of interest" is fantastic! I’ve even used it to navigate the Paris metro system! I d like to see more icon choices for “favorites” I save. A way to indicate a trailhead, or a picture of a car come to mind. Another update I’d like to see is that I’d like to be able to search for routes or tracks that are “Nearby”. The only way to find them currently is to search “Groups & Filters” by name date or user. Since I have dozens if not hundreds of Tracks and Routes, this is cumbersome. I usually don’t remember the name or date, and the user is always me, so I must scroll through the entire list..Version: 3.6
✓ Great for Caravan tripUsing it to plan our WA caravan trip for 2 months, ideal for this..Version: 3.6
✓ AwesomeUse it in all of my trips. Best for walk exploring.Version: 3.6
✓ Best App for travellingJust got back from a trip to SE Asia. This app is so awesome. Just download the countries you are going to. I recommend downloading the wiki packages for the countries as well. Lots of info. Don't need data or wifi even when its tracking your location. I used it constantly. 5/5 would recommend..Version: 3.3.1
✓ This the one if you like the wildYou wil never get lost, it is full of features very accessible. You can even as an real offline GPS, worth every pennies. Thanks.Version: 3.2.2
✓ Great app for route findingI have used Pocket Earth Pro for several years and consistently find it useful. We have used it on both the Camino Frances and the Via de la Plata in Spain. Downloading the tracks for each has kept us on course when signage was poor and also allowed us to choose alternative paths when needed. The topo add on is great for planning and assessment. This is a great app!.Version: 3.4.6
✓ Great appGreat app I'm a truck driver Helps me to find highways & avoid narrow streets.Version: 3.0
✓ Loved it at First - Now not so sure anymoreWhen I used it at first it was great ( end 2013 ) , now end 2016 not so sure. Every upgrade forced me to download all offline maps all over again. As I’m planning a long bike journey trough Europe this has cost me a lot of time / bandwidth. Why not keep data and software better separated like iTunes itself. Imagine I had to download all music every time iTunes upgrades. No excuse guys … you made great app , just fix this download the maps all over issue please. For now only 4 stars sorry.Version: 3.4.6
✓ Very useful resource.The degree of zooming in is amazing. The offline feature is important to me..Version: 3.4.5
✓ Greatest app for planning and navigating holidaysUsed this app all over the world. Excellent information. Always accurate. Found our way across the Yorkshire Dales in thick fog..Version: 3.6
✓ Almost Perfect AppI have been using the Pocket Earth for almost 9 years and have enjoyed its use and improvements over time, including more detailed information regarding services, businesses, etc on the map. However I continue to experience sporadic problems with syncing between devices. Just today I created five new favorites and put them in a newly created Group on my iPhone and they have not shown up on my iPad over 8 hours later. I have the sync feature turned on on both devices. So not sure if this is a server issue or what, but it is frustrating. This has happened in the past while a actually traveling, which is even more frustrating. Would appreciate hearing if other have this issue..Version: 3.8.2
✓ Outstanding appThis app does ***everything*** it's designed for RIGHT, absolutely RIGHT. It is well written, has a clear, intuitive interface and performs REALLY well. No useless bells, no interface "innovations" to distort the framework of iOS design principles. The apps of this quality make the Apple ecosystem a pleasure to use..Version: 3.1.2
✓ A great travel toolThis is an amazingly well thought through off-line mapping app. We use it for planning trips and sharing locations between our devices. It is fast and accurate. The time saved being able to get un-lost on those days when you just want to go for a wander through a new city in a new country (and no data) make it an invaluable traveller’s tool..Version: 3.4.6
✓ Voice navigation offline on the autobahn!!!Just got back from a trip to Germany. Some friends introduced me to this app because it works offline and unlike google, it doesn’t send your location to “the cloud”. I found it much quicker and cheaper than using apple maps and much better for storing my favourite locations and cafes for my next trip. I was even able to use Pocket Earth on the autobahn! They added a voice navigation feature while I was there, it’s great! Developers seem to always be adding new stuff. 5 stars..Version: 2.5
✓ Absolutely the bestWe travel all around the world, from cities to very remote regions. I've tried many apps for mapping, tracking, and orientation, and none of them come close to Pocket Earth for detail. The offline maps are life-savers; the level of detail amazing. The UI is complex and sometimes a bit confusing, but that's part of the price for the sheer mass of functionality this app offers. Well worth the price, including any and all the in-app features you can purchase..Version: 3.4.5
✓ #1Saved our bacon several times !! Thanks.Version: 3.2.2
✓ Great App… butThis is a really great and useful little app. Lots of useful information and it looks nice. The only thing stopping me from giving it five stars is the fact that I want to use it across multiple devices, and I can’t find any way to get it to sync. I’ve tried exporting files to iCloud from both my iPad and my iPhone, but there seems to be no way to actually get them to talk to each other. As soon as this is resolved, I’d be happy to give the app five stars..Version: 3.8.4
✓ Pocket Earth ProThis is the best app I've ever bought or downloaded. I have used it all over central Italy, including Rome and it has been fantastic. It has saved me a fortune in buying local maps for where we've been with the added advantage of always knowing where we are! I have tested it out in countries where I am familiar with areas and I can't fault it. If you are going anywhere unknown, even if only a few miles from where you are then I highly recommend this app to you. You can get the free version but, seriously, for what it costs and what it could save you in buying maps or even not wasting petrol driving the wrong routes, you should get the Pro version..Version: 2.8
✓ Fantastic offline/online appHighly recommend this app, which I have been using for about 5 years or more. Really good for travel, especially if you will be going somewhere where you do not have an internet connection. You can download and save maps for wherever you will be in the world. I have even used it on flights where I can look out the window and see these beautiful islands, but I don’t know exactly where I am or the islands are. With this I can find out and possible visit them some day. Love this app! Thank you to the developers. Get it..Version: 3.8.2
✓ WDCLove this app. By far the easiest to read and navigate on. Wouldn’t trade it for any other. Covers all the bases. Used on the Francigena. Perfect!.Version: 3.8.4
✓ Finally offline topo maps that workThis app worked great at Rocky Mountain National Park when trying to follow the trail buried 6 feet underneath me in snow. Offline with no service. Thank you! Ps regular navigation works great too..Version: 3.6.4
✓ Excellent - now!!This is the clearest rendering of the OpenStreetMap of all the apps available. Until recently the map data was so! so! so! out of date. Now it has finally been updated it is a great app. Let’s hope they keep it up to date. If they do then everyone should have this app! I would add that the route planning part of the app still uses data that is years out of date - it will send you on paths that no longer exist and won’t use many that do exist. Ignore that part of the app..Version: 3.6.3
✓ It just works!Love this off-line map program for international travel (not burning up data) and hiking. Many times I will hike in areas without cell signal and need Pocket Earth’s maps. Also great for finding trails and for marking my route so I know how to get back. Great App!.Version: 3.5.1
✓ Pocket Earth ProI wrote this last year and have used Pocket Earth Pro even more since then. An essential travel tool which only gets better. “Fantastic app for any traveller. Offline maps including location based wiki articles and tons of layers to show or not. Very smooth scrolling in/out. Import POI's or add within the app - and create routes for offline,voice guided driving. Even shows one-way streets in tiny Spanish towns! I never leave home without it.”.Version: 3.6
✓ Okay for many uses, not for back roadsThis is a great app for many applications. Travel on major roads, for example. However, for backroad users (hunters, fishermen, storm chasers) there is a major flaw: the minor roads disappear almost immediately when you zoom out. This makes it impossible to overview the road network of minor roads at a glance. There have been times I've been in the middle of nowhere and need to find a route 'out' to a major road. I can't easily do that, because when I zoom out, the road I'm on (and others I'm trying to find) simply disappear. It would be a simple fix: just add a setting that says to show minor roads at a wider variety of zoom levels. Until this is implemented, backroad users might want to steer clear..Version: 3.6
✓ Most used app?Possibly. Pretty simple to use, easy to measure distance , put markers on. Ability to download maps helps. Not always complete with trails and/or landmarks but good enough. Helps you not to lose your way and to plan your routes. I’ve used it all over the world, very helpful and functional..Version: 3.6
✓ Great Offline MapsGreat to use on older phones that no longer have cellular service. Load the app, download the maps and just use the internal gps with the map software. For $5 you can download the topographical maps, if you know how to read them. I’ve always just wanted mapping software that didn’t rely on having data available. Now I can just download while on WiFi and go. If you are running low on memory, you can just download the states you are in or visiting individually. From time to time I have noticed that maps are deleted when the app is updated. I did have to reload maps, but if I was already out and about I would just download the state and I can always restore my purchase of the topo maps and be on my way. Have fun, enjoy and get out and go explore..Version: 3.6
✓ Amazing appOffline mode is a lifesaver for those with little or no mobile data. But in addition I would prefer an option to use the internet for routes only and prompt the user if extra map data is needed. The app automatically starts downloading map data in online mode which is annoying if your using mobile data and would rather have waited until you had access to a WIFI hotspot. But this can be avoided by downloading countries ahead of time. Using the app to get from A to B was not clear at first, you need to press the route button twice to enter the Start and End of the route, then you press X in the top right to exit the route feature. Their website guides don't do a good job of explaining this, there are no step by step instructions. I just had to figure it out. I've now been using this app for a week and can say with confidence this is the best offline map app out there and I will be using it for years to come..Version: 1.6.4
✓ The BestThis was one of the first vector based mapping software out there, and it’s still so vital to have. It’s one of the easiest to download huge areas right to your iPhone or iPad so you can take it with you anywhere. Never disappointed. Shows more details than others even when using the same OpenStreet Map. For example, power lines! Which can be very useful if your hiking in a rural spot. I’m glad to see some updates lately, and I could see some need for an interface update soon, but until then, this is simply the best offline vector map out there..Version: 3.8.2
✓ Love this App.Have used for many years and around the world. Love the downloadable maps for offline use. Great for hiking and tracking in the back country or the city. Try it!.Version: 3.7.2
✓ Best App Ever, especially offline maps in Japanda!I just got back from Japan and this app rocked! Downloaded my maps at the airport then went to the snow resort and used the offline maps each day. Then once I was back in Tokyo it was a life saver for navigating all the tiny alleyways. I Also used it to find some hidden gems like Whiskey bars and crazy restaurants you just never know existed. Well done guys love this app! Original: I love this app. It's gold. I've downloaded all the maps for Australia. Easy, quick. Now I can turn data off and not worry about expensive data roaming or finding wifi. It even works in airplane mode (but not the gps). I've been using it to keep track of my secret surf spots up and down the east coast but also more for great cafés I want to find again. Super excited to see what features are coming next!.Version: 2.8
✓ Keeps getting better & betterThis is still my go to navigation app when travelling in our campervan. I love how easy it is to alter a route just by dragging it to a different road. Seems to be a small bug in the import facility as I can’t get it to change from newest to any other setting. 👍.Version: 3.8.3
✓ Decent MapsThe maps are good. The topography layer is adequate and since no one else really offers any decent vector topography these are the best available. The UI isn’t my favorite but whatever. I just use it for basemaps because I have other apps for the other things this app does. Wish I could hide unused UI elements..Version: 3.6
✓ Great appUsed this in many parts of Europe and Middle East; find it incredibly useful having offline maps.Version: 3.6
✓ Highly RecommendedThe walking detail is great. Having the map downloaded is perfect for trails. It's fast, uses very little battery. Possibly the best OSM downloadable map app. It looked the best too, so many options to show what you want to see, so maps are not cluttered. Genius!.Version: 3.8.4
✓ MapPlease bring offline routing. That would make this app stand out from all the others..Version: 3.8.3
✓ Great ap for travellersThe ability to save POIs and tracks for off line use is great. I travel a lot and use Pocket Earth for planning trips often well in advance..Version: 3.4.6
✓ Great mapsThe best thing about these maps is that it not only has the trails but also has the logging roads which help put your location into way better perspective. The topographic lines are an excellent add on so I know what I'm in for. I would highly recommend this app..Version: 3.4.5
✓ Superbe et facile a utiliserBest ever , anywhere on the planet . Perfect..Version: 3.6
✓ Great but some missing tracksThe everard circuit has tracks not on map. The Great South Wwst Track also has missing tracks on pocket earth. How can I add my mappings to pocket earth?.Version: 3.6
✓ Very high-quality offline maps appI've tried a number of offline map apps for travelling and this one is the clear winner. Not only are the maps more detailed and smaller downloads overall, but the whole user interface experience is intuitive and responsive. All map downloads are asynchronous, meaning you can queue many of them up at once and continue using the app as normal. The ability to get online directions and save them for offline use also puts this app a cut above the competition. Highly recommended..Version: 1.4
✓ THE best mapping/navigation appHave used several Apps to navigate walks and cycle routes in many different countries. This is absolutely the standout best. It does take a small investment in time to familiarise with functionality but once set up it is invaluable. Great at plotting routes, and outstanding at finding cycle and walking routes. Once you have initial route it is particularly easy to make minor refinements. Cannot recommend enough. For any sort of travel this is essential..Version: 3.8
✓ ExcellentEspecially the public transport routes.Version: 3.6
✓ Just get it!I have used this across countless countries. It is perhaps the single most useful app I have ever purchased. The map data it uses often has more detail than google maps, especially for hiking. The topographic add-in is essential and brilliant if you like going into the outdoors..Version: 3.6
✓ Fabulous appSo much detail when it comes to trails. I tell all my friends and strangers about it..Version: 3.8.3
✓ Killer App!I’ve had this app for years, but I just recently started using it. Best mapping app I’ve ever used. The maps are beautiful, easy to see and read. I love it.Version: 3.8.4
✓ Excellent!As a paramedic working in an remote, mountainous area I love this app. I used the offline maps constantly and have used it for coordinates when requesting a helicopter with perfect accuracy! You won’t regret getting this app!.Version: 3.4.6
✓ Excellent toolI’m continually impressed with the significant detail and depth of information in the maps. Extremely useful. Certainly beats Google offline maps. The app has lots of useful features. I often use the tracking tool..Version: 3.6
✓ Great app for trail trekkingAs a newbie, pocket earth is a great app to start with in Australia to learn about gpx files, trails, how gps can support map reading etc. i know more experienced trekking folks who use it. The Pro version and Topo maps well worth it, a great app..Version: 3.6
✓ Highly recommendSandy and I kayak oftentimes way off grid in complex waterways. The tracking feature not only helps with navigation, but also helps us keep a record of all our expeditions. We tell many people about the app wherever we go. Thank you pocket earth..Version: 3.7.3
✓ Detailed, easy to use and quickI travel a lot and always use Pocket Earth now. I used to use Triposo but downloads took ages and so did zooming. The software behind Pocket Earth seems much cleverer and is not bloated..Version: 3.6
✓ Perfect-Map-App. In one broken word.This has by far been one of the most valuable apps I’ve ever bought for travelling.. From downloading whole country maps (AND Wikipedia databases for that country) to my iPhone - to being able to place my own POI markers for personal favourites - to then being able to export all of these POI’s to a file I can then share with friends - to then have access to basically the whole of Wikipedia for any city I visit.. before finally arriving at the ability to filter map-generated Points Of Interest better than any Google Maps/Apple Maps client I’ve ever seen.. Making it so simple to find everything I need, from Hotels to places to eat and things to see.. There’s just so many reasons to buy the app. Perfect..Version: 3.5.1
✓ Must have travel appI've used this app for offline maps while traveling through Thailand, Europe, the UK, Tonga & India - it's been indispensable. Being able to see which street you are walking down in Venice and see the pin of your hotel saved a stack of time and frustration. Public transport routes across Amsterdam and knowing which stop you are coming up to after just arriving in the city made it so easy to get around. Even in Tonga, remote island location, maps were up to date and GPS while whale watching meant I could save the info for later tagging GoPro video footage..Version: 1.6
✓ The best maps on an iOS deviceI have an OS maps subscription, Google and Apple maps and I e tried pretty much every mapping app on the store. Pocket Earth has a couple of major advantages over the others: 1: You can keep offline maps on your device. Really, detailed ones with all the POIs and the file size is remarkably small. 2: Speed. You can pan around and zoom in/out as fast as you like, the app will keep up with you. I still use OS maps for topography and footpaths while hiking, but for everyday (what’s around me?) Pocket Earth is awesome. I’m at a golf club right now and I’ve compared the map detail with Apple and Google maps - Pocket Earth has far more detail on where the various parts of the golf course and the club buildings are. ATMs, bars, restaurants, even the names of the buildings. The app has a couple of downsides, most notably that the turn by turn routing isn’t great, it’s hard to plot and hard to see while driving, so for that, you’re better off with a driving GPS app. Overall though if you’re a map nerd or just want to see the best overview of what’s around you when you travel, you should have this app on your phone. If you travel abroad and need detailed offline maps then it’s indispensable..Version: 3.5.1
✓ Essential travel toolI am a huge fan of Pocket Earth and have used since 2014 when we navigated from Istanbul to Bath UK, via Bulgaria, Greece, Italy, Austria, Germany, Netherlands and home using Pocket Earth. I really like the Wikipedia link and use them extensively. The ability to mark places before you travel is also exceptionally useful. I am just marking all the Art Nouveau houses of interest in Brussels in advance of my trip. All in all a great app I’d be lost without it!.Version: 3.6
✓ Perfect travel mapsIn the UK I use ViewRanger for OS maps but on holiday this is my go to app. By paying a bit extra you get contours and whilst not quite as good as OS they are generally easily accurate enough to work from for a bike ride or a hill walk. In addition, if you see something out of the train/car window odds on it will have a Wikipedia note you can tap on. It’s great to be able to download it so even if you are Wi-fi- less you can still function. Also perfect for navigating round town. Never really tried the route planning feature I just do that myself!.Version: 3.6
✓ Upgrades and AppA very useful app when cycling in many different countries. Only constructive comment, is that I’ve never received ‘updates’, since I downloaded the app a few years ago? While I’m sure the maps are out of date, I still use it as it’s a very useful app to use. Another quality of the app, is that you don’t need internet to access downloaded maps Steve.Version: 3.7.3
✓ A must have map appThis app saved me many times with its offline gps, and the in app list of all local hotels/restaurants etc. are invaluable. I've been using this app frequently since 2013 through 7 different countries and swear by its functionality. I've only ever encountered one issue with it and it was that it doesn't have fully detailed alleyway systems in Vietnam. I can recommend this app to any backpacker as one of their most valuable tools, to any traveller as a helpful guide when needed; and to any expats living in foreign countries to use the tag feature to easily find your way around new cities..Version: 3.0.5
✓ Essential App!!Superb all world map. Download maps if you think there won’t be data coverage. Clear. Brilliant. Very cheap and totally worth it..Version: 3.8.4
✓ Great app!I’ve been using Pocket Earth for years. It’s one of the best apps I have. The offline map feature is great; you can download and don’t need cell service when you’re out..Version: 3.6.3
✓ Great AppIts a big help for navigation....Version: 3.1.1
✓ Brilliant for FootpathsUse it as an extra to OS maps 👍.Version: 3.7.3
✓ Topographic maps missingTopography disappeared in southern BC, Waterton National Park and Glacier National Park. Testing on multiple devices with the same results. Could you please help with a fix? Giving you 5 stars as you’re amazing and we love you for so many years!.Version: 3.7.3
✓ Best offline mapsI've tried all the offline map apps but I've consistently come back to pocket earth. It's been a great resource while traveling (where this map really shines) as it's helped us find so many trails that we would have never found even places like Thailand. You can plan a journey by dropping place makers and get around in any city town without a connection. If you're in backcountry/off track it doesn't replace a real topo map but it's an amazing resource for planning and discovering. I've only used the app for offline (it's not google maps) and you do need to download some hefty files but 2.3gb gets you all of the topographic maps/trails/roads/POI for a continent like Australia to use offline. Insane really..Version: 3.3.1
✓ They've messed it up again.Just upgraded to 2.0.1 and really wished I hadn't. Most of it works OK but making routes, which is what I use it for most, is really difficult and takes you to the wrong place. The main problems I have are that the route calculated to a waypoint takes you to a point up to half a mile away from the selected point which can be the wrong side of a motorway or railway. The control points which should help force the route leap around in increments of about half a mile and are useless. I can't seem to force the route to start at a favourite, it insists on starting at the current location, you then have to put in where you want to start and delete the original current location. And then there are the intermittent crashes. Still, I like the app, and these things will normally get fixed eventually. I shall risk the next update to see it the problems are fixed..Version: 2.0.1
✓ An indispensable toolI rarely write app reviews, but this is my favourite app of any kind and I wanted to support it. For travelling, the app is fantastic; it does the basics very well and has got loads of features that are genuinely useful. Some of the behaviour regarding the storage of offline maps used to be a bit confusing, but this is clearer now. I'm surprised by the reviews claiming that maps cannot be downloaded or are no good. The app has many options and features; it's worth making sure you understand how the app works. Also, the app uses OpenStreetMap (OSM) crowdsourced data; this means the maps are only as good as the OSM data. I have used the app in many countries and in small villages and big cities; the maps have generally been excellent. Although some footpaths and cycleways are marked on OSM maps, these are still basically street maps so lack the detail that might be needed for wilder areas. For that level of detail you'd need to use a different app and pay for Ordnance Survey (in the UK) or equivalent mapping data. I used to use this app when travelling overseas and a different offline mapping app at home. Now I just use Pocket Earth everywhere. Very highly recommended..Version: 3.1.1
✓ Better then all else!Even though there's much to learn before using it at its full potential, the application works wonders. For hiking trips in the wild, or just trying to find viewpoints it's an amazing app. Plus, compared to all other hiking apps (AllTrails) around, this one is free and had always up to date maps due to it being synced With OSM. You can download offline maps without paying a monthly subscription. I use it everytime I'm going on a hike. Definitely a top 5 travel app..Version: 3.7.3
✓ ByeBye Yelp! Foursquare CityMaps2Go TripAdvisor….Well not quite, but after much app searching and stuffing around I have decided that PocketEarth is the way to go. Yelp and the likes are good for looking up places but as the central repository for all good things nearby, to do or to be done or how to get to them PocketEarth is the way to go. The reasons I choose PocketEarth: - Maps don’t get cut off at city limits like a lot of others - Good place to mark the places you want to remember - Groups - I have a group of “Bucket List” for places on that for example - Privacy - you don’t have to worry about everything getting broadcast - GPS Co-ordinates, really useful off-road - Subway/Metro lines etc. It’s a little technical, you have to play with it to really understand it but after many many hours on all the travel apps it really is very very good. You can add your own places - my only request to PocketEarth - when you add a location it should get shared back to the map source somehow. Please pay them for the full version, it’s worth it and I have no affiliations..Version: 2.6.1
✓ Fav maps! Offline, topo, accurate, configurablePocket Earth is awesome for several reasons: 1) Offline maps. This app was my go-to choice for a year abroad where I often would not have internet. It was amazing to download *the entire country* in one easy step (and it didn't even take up that much space!) 2) Topographic maps. Great for backpacking & cross-country skiing. 3) Configurable points of interest. I can enable banks & tourist spots while disabling other things when traveling, or enabling Wikipedia locations(!) in an area I'm curious about. 4) Easy saving & copy-pasting of recorded GPS tracks and coordinates (in many different formats!) 5) Most accurate running tracker I've used! This is an unexpected and random benefit, but it really does do a better job tracking my runs than the many other running-specific apps I tried (all other running apps had pretty bad "jitter"). Great app, thank you! :).Version: 3.6
✓ Good appA pretty good general purpose offline map app..Version: 3.8.4
✓ Gréât appOne of the best off-line map apps. The maps are not all up to date, but the app still has many good features..Version: 3.3
✓ Useful appOne of the best map apps in offline mode.Version: 3.1.1
✓ ExceptionalPocket Earth has been invaluable to me for cycling London's complex streets, and walking adventures through the countryside (aided by the detailed mapping information). Abroad it has proven equally effective, with the added benefit of downloading maps for offline use without using cellular data. The geek in me likes that I can log everywhere I’ve explored, and save those to groups! I wholeheartedly recommend Pocket Earth, and it has improved greatly by the programmers over the years I’ve used it..Version: 3.7.3
✓ Pocket EarthAn excellent app, especially when traveling....Version: 1.4
✓ Great world wide appHave used this on my travels around the world. Great maps for cities and countryside and used it in almost 50 countries. Will not go anywhere without it..Version: 3.7.3
✓ One of my most useful appsHuge fan. Going to Paris? Maui? download to phone, cached maps. now you have Google map level of details, no roaming and even includes Wikipedia site-seeing info. Maps don’t cost anything. Also does, extra cost, Topo hiking maps, quite good, though not as good as 15000 scale paper ones..Version: 3.6
✓ Great for cycle touringPocket Earth is my go to offline map when I an cycle touring. I’ve cycle toured across several continents including Asia and South America and always found it to be reliable. I especially appreciate the clear contour presentation, and the amenities and places to stay at the remote settlements where I end my day..Version: 3.8.2
✓ Excellent for motorbike adventuresI regularly go exploring off-road routes and tracks and this app allows me to pre plan the route and then record the actual trip for later use in google earth. It's very simple to use and the offline content is simple yet comprehensive. Great work guys!!!.Version: 3.5
✓ So UsefulDownload the maps where you’re going and you are set. No need for a data connection, and pretty simple and intuitive. I use it every time I travel, drop pins at places of interest, or even where I park my car. Five stars!.Version: 3.7.3
✓ Fantastic tool!Still trying to learn all the features.Version: 3.7
✓ So useful, really excellent!Am so impressed with PocketEarth from 8 years of using it all over the world. It keeps my favorite bars, restaurants and places to stay available for the future but even mundane things like ATMs and such. I can’t say enough good things about this app!.Version: 3.6
✓ Good map programStill getting used to it, appears that you can't plot a route to an address offline, otherwise works well, thanks.Version: 1.6
✓ PocketEarth ProI'm just starting to use PE but so far I can say it's very intuitive, user-friendly and includes many useful features.Best app!.Version: 3.7.3
✓ Fantastic Map App!My wife and both love this offline mapping software! Very easy to use, many useful features. Wonderful to know that even if you lose Internet connectivity you always can determine where you are. Cannot give it enough praise!.Version: 3.8.3
✓ Must have travel appSimply the best offline mapping app there is. Will save the purchase price the very first time you use it instead of data roaming. Downloaded maps are very efficiently stored taking the absolute minimum of space. Route planning is effortless with walking routes properly supported. Wiki integration is excellent, so you have your guide book built in as well. The app is well maintained with new features and fixtures being launched on a regular basis. Also, with the iPad native Maps app still in a fairly sorry state (and lacking any footpath information), and Google Maps still unavailable in a full iPad version, Pocket Earth is a very usable alternative..Version: 1.4
✓ Keeps getting betterI'm a map junkie; don't know why, I just love maps and mapping and this is my favorite iOS mapping app by far. If you like to hike, bike, travel or generally go places without good cellular coverage, you'll quickly realize how valuable it is to have maps stored locally on your device..Version: 3.1.1
✓ Brilliant app!!Downloaded offline maps for 5 cities in Europe while on holiday. Saved me so much time, never got lost and walked around like a local..Version: 1.2.2
✓ Very good appThis app is one of the first apps I downloaded when I got my iPad. It has been extremely useful when traveling. It has got my buddies and I to are destination several times when all their cell phones could not, and I was only using the offline maps. The transportation info is always accurate (train route numbers, bus numbers, etc,) and will usually show your hotel. I am not a tech guy so I only gave it 4 stars because it is complex, otherwise I would have given it 5 stars. Any young person can use with no problem I’m sure. I was never sorry I got this app. Stevo.Version: 3.7
✓ Saved tons of headachesI don't always review apps, but when I do, it's only because they deserve five stars. It worked like a charm when travelling Europe with my wife. I was able to load the maps I wanted ahead of time with the hotel wifi. FYI-You don't need a data plan for the GPS to work. Maps were relatively lightweight in memory (5-20 mb) and detailed POIs. Wikipedia articles are a nice touch. It's smart enough to download your specified cities or only what it needs to (and a little bit more) along your route. I've tried and paid for other apps. This one beats them hands down. Well worth the 3 bucks. You would be buying a local map anyway for 5 euros at the gas station IMO. The navigation mode could be improved for single driver, but with a co-pilot it works just fine..Version: 1.2
✓ The best for hiking adventuresCompared to other similar apps I have downloaded, this is the best app you can get for a small one-off fee. It makes route planning a breeze, sharing/exporting waypoint details easy and is solid as an offline mapping tool on the trail..Version: 3.6
✓ Life SaverI enjoy using this app very much especially since one can download the local map. To us this meant that we didn’t need to have an Internet connection as we traveled around our destination city, Toulouse..Version: 3.6
✓ Fantastic trail findingI like bicycling in the backroads of the world. In 25 countries I have used downloaded PocketEarth maps to pick my way through paths, urban and rural, on my bicycle. I have crossed skinny dams, gone alongside the Black Sea on farm trails, found my way through the Carpathian Mountains on skinny roads with River fords, and gone through odd corners of wild land in cities. Almost universally without fail. The only exception is that in the USA the “private road” data is sometimes inaccurate, and I have had to turn back and retrace my steps. 5 stars! I would give it more if I could. 6? 7? 10? Maybe 12!!!.Version: 3.8.2
✓ My favourite appI first downloaded Pocket Earth 1.5 years ago, after finding myself lost in India with a taxi driver who had taken me to the wrong location. Since then I have used it extensively in the UK and in India, Australia, UAE, New Zealand, South Africa, Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland. I download either a city/region/country at my convenience and have never been lost since. The level of information in the industrialised countries is fantastic - with easy identification of local amenities and paths to reach them. Pocket Earth is the one app that I really don't know how I used to manage without. It is quick, easy, intuitive and the first app I would install on any future smartphone..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Pocket Earth ProPocket Earth Pro is a great resource for those interested in traveling, adventures of those who just want to access maps for almost every location around the world. Almost any helpful information you can think of can be used for assistance. Whether individual travel guides for numerous locations, Wikipedia articles to provide information on locations, whether large maps of known and unknown areas that can be downloaded and accessed offline Pocket Earth has it. Most importantly the app is easy to navigate and use which can sometimes not be true of an application brimming with information. The side bar can be used to access a category or customize your personal settings. Pocket Earth is an application well worth a download whether the free or Pro version..Version: 3.4.6
✓ The offline map with the mostI really like the speedy way that you can move around and zoom in and out on offline maps. Choose whole countries to download, areas or cities. Each map has customisable overlays to show points of interest such as banks, hotels, schools, etc - pick the types of POI you would like to see. The help documentation is very thorough and well laid out under different topics. Travellers can add their own stars and POI and can export these in several ways - I can see this being great for sharing on a blog or with family via email. I can't wait to try it out on holiday, now..Version: 2.2
✓ UsefulSomeone from Australia that I was on a cruise with recommended this app and I love it. For what it costs, I thin’ it is great value and they give good support to clients and ongoing support to the programme..Version: 3.5.1
✓ One of the bestThis app has more detail on it’s maps than some governments do on their maps. Easy to use with loads of features. I just love it..Version: 3.6
✓ Most AMAZING MAPapp! EVER!I use Pocket Earth on my travels and for mountain biking. This app is the BEST out there! Believe me, I'm very picky and do a lot of research before I download and buy ANY App! The GPS is fast, it finds you in seconds anywhere in the world, and if you have saved your desired area for offline use, it will enable you to see the smallest detail at any location. Now, that this app is also available on the iPhone, it became my ONLY map app I truly trust and use for preparing routes, measuring distances or just scouting an area for my photography trip. Recently, I even used it in the jungle, to confirm my location and not end up walking in the footsteps of some lonely elephant! If you want a perfect map app .... Get Pocket Earth!! Thank you and ... Keep up the superb job guys/gals! Hey Apple: you need to learn something (actually ... a lot!) form these guys!.Version: 3.8.3
✓ Superb companion in city or mountainEasy to use, handy map with lots of detail. Download specific maps you need before travel as it removes any need for 4G connectivity. The Wikipedia entries are interesting. In cities, clicking on one metro station ‘illuminates’ the lines from that stop. The contour lines are really useful on hill walks. Geo positioning makes navigation accurate. The only shortcoming I’ve found is that in the most remote locations the detail of mountain terrain and contours can be blank..Version: 3.8.1
✓ Super useful especially when you have to go off the gridI use this for finding hiking trails during the day then a place to park when going out at night. I've not found a better offline mapping solution and I consult it constantly. All the points of interest you could hope for and travel guides to boot..Version: 3.6
✓ Excellent app, worried about future supportI’ve been using this app for many years now and this is absolutely my first go-to app for travel. I have the terrain as well and have used it extensively for anything - hiking, biking, car travel, overlanding or just reference. I keep a backup copy of all my favourite places, locations, routes etc. Incl. my notes on them, which are very easy to import/export. I’m a bit worried that the support for the app will disappear, like it happened with way too many apps I used to like and honestly I see no worthy replacement... But while it’s working - highly recommended!.Version: 3.6
✓ Best value app I have ever boughtBest value app I have ever bought. What a great little app this is. At just £1.99 for the Pro version in the Uk there are then no “In-app purchases” required - difficult to believe , you can download detailed maps of whatever countries you want - or the entire world if you have space. Recently used this to plan and then take a 3 week road trip from London to Athens, it is superb for both the pre-planning and then ‘off the cuff’ side trips along the way with Wikipedia entries for thousands of ‘points of interest’ downloaded with the maps. Add your own ‘waypoints’ too very simply - export just GPS locations for car satnav or your entire itinerary to other users. I searched for ‘Road trip Planner” and similar, found quite a few ‘scrapbooky’ type Apps for N America, but nothing that was this customisable and nothing similar for the rest of the world. There are quite a few travel apps too, but almost all of them want you to book attractions using them so presumably get their ‘kickback’ that way. This one just works beautifully on both iPad and iPhone and does not pester for more purchases. Very usable and yet sophisticated at the same time. Fantastic work from the developers and I look forward to future updates - I sound as if I’m related to them or something, but I’m not, I just want to share what a fantastic find this is..Version: 2.4
✓ Lost syncing between devicesThis is a very useful mapping application and I have been using it for several years especially for hiking. It has reassured us many times in foreign countries that we were on the right trail. I noticed recently that it no longer seems to sync my favourites and tracks between my Apple devices. Maybe with IOS 13 and no new Pocket Earth App update this capability has been lost. I use the app on my phone as well as IPads. I have SIM card capabilities on my IPads and use them to route find. I did find a workaround for the missing syncing by exporting the information, emailing the file to myself and then importing it on the second device. This is an awkward way of syncing but does work. I put my device on airplane mode to reduce battery use when I am route finding in the back country. I find that the device continues to search for cel towers and uses much more battery power when not in airplane mode. Other than the syncing problem, I am pleased with this App..Version: 3.6
