Pocket Earth Maps for Positive User Reviews
✓ Great app!I bought the full version and downloaded all of Southeast Asia. Saving so much time and don't have 'the bible' anymore :).Version: 2.5
✓ Free update is incredibly great!Pocket Earth has had several new features added, and just keeps getting better. Now with Drop-a-Pin at my location, and add my own pictures to the Pin, we can record so much more about our travels so easily. Excellent OFFLINE, stored on my iPad maps; POIs galore, my at-home travel research Pins; Wikipedia POIs; import of trails and routes found online; add up to an app without which I cannot live..Version: 3.3
✓ Best Travel BuddyThis app has been a life saver for me many times while traveling around the world. Easy to find necessaries like grocery stores, bus stops, toilets, campsites, and much more. Everything has its own unique symbol. You can save the places that matter to you which make the symbols bolder than the regular ones. The topographical maps have been a lifesaver choosing routes that are doable with heavy backpacks. And I love that you can create personal saved points and label and color code them! I label all the fun things like where I found a wild animal or bee farm or a good campsite. etc! And I also like highlighting big things like the tourist destinations I want to see because your personal points stand out over the other ones even when you zoom out really far. The only thing is to be careful not to have the map start looking to crowded and messy with enlarged, highlighted points..Version: 3.3.1
✓ Lite version only has Ireland need to buy for anywhere elseMap and interface very good.Version: 1.3
✓ Pocket EarthI absolutely love Pocket Earth; in fact, I use it every day for my work as a distributor. And now that I can include images, it's perfect..Version: 3.3.1
✓ Great offline maps - just needs offline routingWould be five stars if it had offline routing as well.Version: 2.6.2
✓ MsUse this everywhere around the world. Love it..Version: 3.0.5
✓ Awesome so farWorks really well for me. I'm able to import gpx files to follow my routes for cycling without being connected to wireless. I've only used the free version so far but will buy the full version when I need more cities..Version: 3.2.2
✓ Voice nav offline on the autobahn!Just got back from a trip to Germany. Some friends there put me into this app because it works offline and unlike google, it doesn't send your location to "the cloud". Found it much cheaper and faster than using apple maps and much better for storing all my favourite cafes and spots for next time. Was even able to use in on the autobarn! They added voice navigation while I was there. Great feature. Developers seem to always be adding new stuff. 5 stars..Version: 2.6.2
✓ Superb map in your pocketI have been using this app for a couple of years and find it absolutely superb. Recently I used it to navigate around Greece, South Africa and the UK and was delighted with it. Such information in your pocket! I recently bought the Topographic layer as it was not available when I originally bought offline maps. An upgrade path would have been nice for those of us who had already purchased 'World Maps' but I am not complaining. The TOPO is a real boon when walking in mountains and was a life saver when fog rolled in. The developers should be very proud of their creation. Thanks guys..Version: 3.4.1
✓ Great map for foreign holidayUsed this App extensively during a recent 7 week hiking and cycling holiday in Europe. Used it daily. Wouldn't want to be without it. How I used it: 1. Offline maps. If you have a limited data plan or are traveling in an area with poor cellular data, the offline maps function is huge. You can put your phone in airplane mode and still have full map functionality. Google maps will not work in areas without cellular data. Even if you have lots of data, putting your phone in airplane mode saves tons of battery power, keeps your charge up through long days of touring. 2. GPX functionality. I downloaded some cycling routes from a web site and was able to upload these on my iPhone and visualize these on the Pocketearth App. Similarly, I was able to record my rides and save them as GPX files, which I could then share with friends. This is an inexpensive introduction to the world of digital mapping and GPX. 3. Hiking. We downloaded GPX files of our hiking route and during the hike were able to check we were on the right path. Given that we were hiking on unmarked trails, this was incredibly reassuring that we would not get lost. Could also track how many miles we walked. 4. Altitude. The altitude was within a few metes of both the topographic map and a friend with a $200 altimeter. Amazing that you can get this for only $10! One criticism: cannot follow an existing GPX track AND simultaneously record one's own track..Version: 2.8
✓ Fantastic map app!I love this app and use it all the time. We have travelled to Europe and Canada using this app to find our way around- even remote places in the forest, to plot routes to points of interest, to find a supermarket near by to find addresses. I would never go away without it! I cannot recommend this app more highly! Took a little while to find my way around the many things you can access but once I became familar with the menu and icons it is a breeze! I down load off line maps and plan our trips before we leave and don't waste any time searching for things or places while we are on holiday. This is such a comprehesive app so well designed- thank you.Version: 3.3
✓ ReviewExcellent App, very useful, love it.Version: 2.8
✓ Great appLove the app it’s great for giving you the coordinates of shops restaurants parking and fuel etc.Version: 3.6
✓ Great AppGoogle could learn from this app. Great for offline route planning, simple to use.Version: 2.8
✓ Good systemI wanted a GPS mapping waypoint system that would operate even if not within WiFi connection. This worked fine I downloaded the maps of the area I was going to whilst connected to WiFi and I was able to use it effectively..Version: 3.0.5
✓ Not much Topo detailI found that there is not much detail to elevation lines and wetlands are not marked very well if at all. I mainly download it for use offline with what3words.Version: 3.3.1
✓ Good but disappointed with the developersThis has been my go to walking app for over a year. I originally bought the free version but decided to upgrade to the pro version using the in app purchase system. Recently the app was updated to version 3 with the option to buy topographic maps. For users that bought the pro version direct from the App Store the price for these maps is £3.99 (at present). However, for users like myself who upgraded from the free to pro version the price is £7.99. It's a real slap in the face. Either it's a bug or the devs are just taking a large portion of their customer base for a ride. I originally resisted writing this review and emailed the developers. However, they have chosen to ignore my emails. A real shame as ultimately this app is excellent..Version: 3.0
✓ Menu button doesn't work on iPhone 4The new version has broken the button!.Version: 3.4.1
✓ That is Good That is OKY Mom are you Oka ,Goodness ❤️😊🙏📲🆗📡💡🌸👩👧👧🤟✌️👍🌞Please Help And Support 🙏❤️📲🆗📡💡🌸👍👩👧👧🌞✌️🤟👩❤️💋👩 Thank You MOM ,Goodness.Version: 3.8.3
✓ Great maps appThere has been some download issues lately BUT the developer has been very quick to fix these. I use this app on my iPad and iPod without phone connection. Highly recommended..Version: 3.2.2
✓ Best travel app yetI've tried 6 apps for offline maps and probably another 6 for travel guides. This one takes the cake with full Wikipedia article and wiki voyage pages..Version: 2.4
✓ Map cords too smallGreat app. Main issue is that the coordinates at the bottom cannot be made larger. There is a text size setting, that only works for some text on the map. I also need it bigger on the cords please. Thx..Version: 3.8.4
✓ Very usefulI use this regularly when I travel. Very handy..Version: 2.6.1
✓ FantasticPocket Earth is a great app, the offline content is really good in foreign countries when you have no internet, it's location pointer is spot on, being able to look up about where you are on wiki just by touching the marker is fantastic, I have recommended this app to many people....Version: 3.1
✓ Great hiking companion in NZThis app was soooo useful when hiking in NZ. Optional pro upgrades are highly recommended. Now I even use this app around my home town. Wonderful..Version: 2.4
✓ One of the best apps I've downloadedI loaded this app before a trip to Europe. Since my carrier does not offer international service, I wanted a mapping program that did not require a cell signal. Pocket Earth has exceeded my expectations. It is fast and accurate. It scales quickly and does well in cities and towns. Car navigation so far has been flawless. The user manual is one of the best app manuals I've come across. Great job by the developers!!.Version: 3.1.1
✓ ❤️Amazing App. Love it.Version: 3.0.4
✓ Well designed, incredibly useful.I am moving to a new city and being able to tag, store, and organize various locations is amazing. Using it offline is great, it will even remember pre-planned (and downloaded) routes on my ipad. Then with cell data on iphone can show location and give spoken directions. Worth so much more than I paid!.Version: 3.1.2
✓ Superb offline mapping appThe app is good. Very good in fact. I use it for cycle touring and there's nothing better..Version: 3.0.2
✓ One of the best mapping softwareThis app was indispensable on my 8 wks trip in western USA. It has incredible detailed maps, with hips of POI. Maps are available for offline . Also like import and export function for POI. Navigation function is however slightly impaired by inability to recalculate the route, when strayed from planed route. Overall it is great app!.Version: 3.3.1
✓ Pocket Earth is an excellent toolI've used Pocket earth for several on road and off road Motorcycle rides across Canada and the US, and for my upcoming ride around the world, I'm leaving my Garmin GPS at home and only bringing Pocket Earth on my iPhone (and a few paper maps...). Great app!.Version: 3.4.1
✓ GreatWorks exactly as suggested..Version: 3.4.1
✓ One of my favorite AppsBefore leaving for a Danube River cruise, I downloaded all of the maps for the Eastern European countries, as well as several for the USA. They didn't take up much space, but were incredible, both while walking and driving. I was amazed to find out how much additional information was available everywhere with Wikipedia references that were quite extensive and that went far beyond what our local guides had given us, even in remote locations that I had never even previously heard of. While walking I was able to put in a street or address, and find my way to the location while offline. This worked well, but of course the one much to be desired improvement would be the ability to get turn by turn directions while offline, as the destination is drawn as a straight line from location to destination. However it is constantly upgraded as you move in the direction of your destination, so that it does take you there. We are a traveling family, and I have urged everyone to make the purchase. It is probably the best few bucks I have ever spent..Version: 2.6.2
✓ Superb for cyclingThis app really shines when you go off the beaten path. The mapping has great detail and the downloadable content is very data efficient. All I would ask is that elevation profile data is included in the routing information. If it had that it would be perfect. Bought the Pro version and one of the best app purchases I’ve made..Version: 3.4.6
✓ Works great!Great program, and nice accuracy all around. The only drawback is it can be a little slow loading, and it has to reload every time you zoom when you aren't connected to wifi..Version: 2.8
✓ Recommend 100%I have been a fond user for nearly two years on this app now and it has never gone to dissatisfaction. It’s got EVERYTHING ON IT. And I mean everything. It was worth the £7.99 buy.Version: 3.6
✓ Best of all offline Map AppsCurrently travelling around Italy and Spain and France using the downloaded maps with the GPS positioning ..it’s just brilliant! Better than any app for this use. Just a bit of getting used to at the start but once there you’re in! Graphics are superior to Google ..very easy to read . The travel guide option is much better than many others covering many topics. Highly recommend . Geoff.Version: 3.5.1
✓ Best app I've ever usedGuided me to incredible remote wilderness spots today... then back to car in the dark!.Version: 3.3.1
✓ Excellent appHard to find fault with it. Used it for teavelling round Cuba offline & it has loads of tracks/paths marked as well as roads. Download offline maps as I need them. Highly recommended..Version: 2.6.2
✓ No cell service -no problemAdventure motorcycle guy told me about this App. I use it all the time-especially when I have no cell service. It is a must have if you go out in the dingle berries..Version: 3.6
✓ Steve vAwesome simple to us app. Used on a 5 day hike . Thank you!!.Version: 3.8.4
✓ Great appOf all the maps I downloaded, even the paid ones, this was the best and has aided in our hunting trip tremendously. Offline, in the dark, dense in a thicket, no issues. Tracks you down and pinpoints where your at and where you will head back and head on. Very well made!!! If there was a 10 star, this would be it..Version: 3.3.1
✓ Sharing all the best surf spots!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. I loved it so much I bought the pro version!.Version: 2.5
✓ Pocket EarthAwesome tool. Wiki feature is very nice for touring especially in Europe. I like to save favorites places and at end of trip create a route showing all the places visited. Not happy with lack of map updates that I find in OSM but not in app.Version: 3.6
✓ Easily the best offline mapping toolI find this app indispensable when I go abroad or go 'off-grid'. The maps are detailed, and the added Wikipedia layer is particularly useful when exploring abroad..Version: 3.0.3
✓ Just used in Addis AbabaGot stuck in traffic in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and pulled out this app. Found a side street that got me on a main road I was familiar with, got home in just 10 minutes later than we planned. Love this app as we live in our host country, Ethiopia!.Version: 3.4.4
✓ Pocket earthGreat app but remember to SAVE downloaded apps. or it tries to reload every time app is switched on..Version: 2.6.2
✓ Pocket earthGreat app I used it in the Himalaya and use it every weekend as a trekking GPS the offline function is particularly useful..Version: 2.4
✓ Great for exploringI find this app helpful to review areas i explore on my motorcycle. i do find the interface a little less than intuitive (i deleted a ride yesterday in error and i really wanted to see the woods i was exploring at home yesterday) but the app works great when i use it correctly. a stop/pause and then end route would be nice. i deleted thinking i was marking the end of my route. overall though the app is great to use offline and doesnt seem to drain the battery as much as expected. plus its free, thanks!.Version: 3.0.3
✓ Great app - work offlineI used this app when in Hanoi and Sapa. Downloaded the maps before the trip and I had no issue. Also great to find walks. Better than Google map for topography. Highly recommended.Version: 3.3.1
✓ Very goodFew POI missing, but overall very good; especially good to be offline, once purchased at very reasonable price.Version: 2.6.2
✓ Nice appGreat app - super easy to use!.Version: 3.6.3
✓ Great for TravelThis app has amazingly detailed maps of the major cities. It even shows where restrooms and traffic lights are. Upgrade to Pro for $9 to download maps for offline use, then plan & save your routes. It's great for travel when you don't want to use too much data. For me, this is a godsend..Version: 3.4.4
✓ The Wild RoverMust be the Most excellent detailed Map I have ever seen on a mobile or on an IPad but , this is so well presented click on a W & full description is explained . Thank you ,.Version: 3.0.3
✓ Easy to read MapExcellent mapping for cycletouring. Names and contours are rendered very clearly. The location information is a little out of date, because not enough of us are updating Wikitravel and Open Street Map!.Version: 3.6
✓ ExcellentTrès bonne compréhension et rapide Yes!!.Version: 3.1.1
✓ Great mapsThe maps are very easy to use. A simple spreading apart of two fingers and more detailed maps quickly appear. I've searched through other apps and really enjoy using this one..Version: 2.1.1
✓ A very handy navigation tool for walking anywhere in the worldI’ve been using Pocket Earth for about four years in Australia, Europe, South America, and the USA. The topographic maps are accurate and up to date. Great tool!.Version: 3.7.3
✓ Just what I needed, but...I was looking for an app that would provide an abundance of trails / off road routes. However, I don’t like that when I try to zoom in, all the important details on the map reduce in size..Version: 3.7.3
✓ Great mapsGreat site. You find where your going and open the map then keep that spot and your set.Version: 3.7
✓ Best open street map appIve tested dozens of maps. This is the best by far...it has weekly updates from openstreetmap and it supports offline download. So you can simply turn your iphone to airplane mode, and open the app, to save you data and battery at once. Love it!!!.Version: 2.6.2
✓ Exactly what I neededSee the title. Excellent topo maps with biking and hiking trails. Much better than the paper topo 50..Version: 3.4.5
✓ Great appI use it on my iPhone. It is terrific for remote places without data connections, and most of all for getting around countries where one does not have a data plan, or where data roaming is prohibitively expensive..Version: 3.0.3
✓ Pocket EarthA very easy app to find information on anywhere in the world..Version: 3.1
✓ It is excellentI have it with me in every trip I take, all over the world. It is accurate also on off road trails. You have access to information everywhere you go like a local. The recording function is also very good, and provides a log of all your travel. It works well also for flight tracking. All this on local application. No need for data plan abroad or running out of coverage. Memory management is good so you never consume huge resources from your device. I love it and I am a power user..Version: 3.8.3
✓ HandyWe find this App so handy to use when travelling and use the off line maps frequently. A must for travelling..Version: 3.8.1
✓ Pocket Earth a Great AppGreat News An App that not only works but works extremely well plus Fantastic support. I have been using Pocket Earth for some twelve months and have used it in many countries without failure. It has everything you need to find your way around and without a network connection. However as with most things these days there can be issues at some point and I had one with this App. The support for this App was extraordinarily good I had the fastest response unlike most Apps you read about these days. They resolved my issue in no time. I am so happy not only with the App but how good the support is, if only other Apps were this good. Thank you Pocket Earth you have made it so easy. Don't bother using anything else..Version: 3.1.1
✓ A very handy map appI have tried quite a few maps and atlas type apps and this is my favorite for traveling. Is has city maps for all major cities of course but it also covers many smaller places as well. The guide books are also a nice feature..Version: 2.8
✓ David AventWould not refund addon. As i mistakenly bought the world +topo instead of PE-pro. Also Having 2 separate products seems convoluted and misleading. Have to use a different app for offline routing. Both these issues have been addressed on other software, i find it difficult to believe it is not currently possible with this otherwise fine product..Version: 3.5.1
✓ Like route plannerPlanning trip to USA and love that it shows the whole route highlighted.Version: 2.8
✓ Best travel app ever. Saving time and moneyI love it! No more heavy guide books. No more stress or anxiety about being in a new place. Im never Lost! And i don't need a data connection. Even just to communicate my destination to a Taxi or xe om Driver - super useful. Ohh and now i know im not getting Driver around in circles. Even used it to find close pubs and restruants. Saved me so much time and money! Well worth it. Put your price up guys!.Version: 2.6.2
✓ First impressionsLooks like it is going to do the business. A bit of work to fathom out the workings but quite easy once handled..Version: 3.5.1
✓ Ballooning with pocket earthI frequently fly across the whole of Europe and the uk in hot air balloons. Using pocket earth in my retrieve vehicle and pocket earth on my phone combined with what three words I have an unbeatable way of never loosing touch with my retrieve vehicle wherever I am in the world.Version: 3.6
✓ Fantastic appI am an airline pilot and use it for illustrations quite frequently, worldwide..Version: 2.5
✓ Great app for cycle touringAn excellent app that allows you to use maps offline and they have all the cycle paths, back roads and features that can be used without wife. Plot routes and save for offline use. Great app.Version: 3.1.1
✓ I’m sad this isn’t being supportedI liked using the offline topo maps. Sadly, this app seems no longer supported. In Haida Gwaii, British Columbia, all locations (hundreds of them!) are now labeled as simply ‘Haida Gwaii’. The developer’s website is down. :-(.Version: 3.7.3
✓ Best everSince discovering pocket earth about 10 years ago while walking from London to Rome l have never found an app as good. Pocket earth is as good in oz where l live, and in Albania where l have walked!l would be totally lost without it!!.Version: 3.8.4
✓ Neat AppIt has lots of features..Version: 3.0
✓ So glad this is being updatedOne of my most used navigation apps - so glad the devs are still actively updating it..Version: 3.6.5
✓ Great app, love itThis has been a great app for driving walking and tramping, once you have the maps you need downloaded you can switch off data or switch on airplane mode and use the app as a handheld GPS. Background data is great although I'm still trying to figure out how to update any data holes, but then I'm a bit slow at irking things out anyway. Recommend the full version then tune it to suit what you need..Version: 3.4.4
✓ Good appAwesome. Just needs refresh of OSM data more often.Version: 2.0.1
✓ Intuitive interface - effective route plannerI'm really impressed with this app. I'm making plans for a European motorcycle tour next year and this app is easy to use, gets great directions between different stops and waypoints (whilst connected to the Internet) and has a very professional look and a design philosophy straight out of Infinite Loop. I haven't used it for turn by turn navigation so can't speak for the quality of that but I am more than happy using it as a highly polished journey planner. I have tested and can confirm that you can export your routes as GPX files that can be imported into Garmin's Basecamp software if you would prefer to use your own satnav. The need for an Internet connection to recalculate routes when deviating off course could be an issue in remote locations and if you do have a connection you run the risk of high mobile data costs whilst roaming. I paid for the In-App purchase for worldwide offline maps as it was cheap as chips and I want to support the developers. If I am stuck somewhere without an Internet connection I can still use the app as a very attractive digital atlas and draft my own routes old-school style that I could verify when I next have a connection. If the app could calculate routes offline it would be absolutely brilliant - that said, the routes it calculates online using OpenStreetMap data are far more reliable and realistic than well known established satnavs. Highly recommended..Version: 2.8
✓ Worth havingAccurate.Version: 3.0.2
✓ Nice clean map with handy travel infoI was looking for an offline map app and was recommended by friend. Very nice clean map with routing as well as travel info - a great bundle, even purchased world wide..Version: 3.4.4
✓ RexThis is a great app that I use when hunting Sambar deer in the Victorian HiCountry It always gets me back to camp, the truck or a feature in the landscape that I’m walking to often in the dark and through fog and cloud. I’ve also used this app traveling 3500km across Australia on Outback tracks many of which were cattle station tracks, and amazingly they were clearly and accurately marked within the app. I thoroughly recommend this app to any land Traveller Regards stay Safe Rex.Version: 3.8.2
