Don’t forget this:
1. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. Only the GPS Route Navigation and GPS Track Recording features will use the GPS when running in background.
2. This app uses data from the amazing community driven open mapping project called openstreetmap.org! Coverage detail may vary by region, please visit our website to check the map detail for your regions of interest.
3. Does not currently support all asian texts on the map (Chinese, Japanese, etc).

Pros and cons of Pocket Earth Maps app for iPhone and iPad

Pocket Earth Maps app good for

Works really well for me. Im able to import gpx files to follow my routes for cycling without being connected to wireless. Ive only used the free version so far but will buy the full version when I need more cities.

I 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 Ive come across. Great job by the developers!!

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!

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.

As a traveller and hiker, this is definitely the most useful and most used app on my iPhone! I use the the voice guided navigation on motor bike and when walking in foreign cities, and I use the GPS track recording and contour maps while hiking in the mountains. Best part is that its light on my battery and mostly offline! The topo upgrade is totally worth it, beats Gaia and the others, IMHO. Creating a route still requires a connection though..

Of 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.

Some bad moments

I 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

UK map is now 1.3 GB up from a mere 500MB! If this is a glitch, please fix, as Uk is a small country and roads there dont change often. Otherwise, too big for my iPad. :-(

This is a "demo" version,... only good for Dublin, Ireland. If you want anything else you have to buy the full version. Doesnt tell ya that in the ad or how much it is.

Only shows Ireland, so I dont know if this will fulfill my needs or not. Am NOT willing to pay three dollars to find out it is not what I need after all. It does zoom in very closely to a chosen city in Ireland, though, but that is not what I am wanting. I wish to have a quality atlas that shows all the countries on each continent, and also zooms into each city.

Cant review, crashes as soon as you open it on iPhone 5s with iOS 7.

The maps are very easy to use. A simple spreading apart of two fingers and more detailed maps quickly appear. Ive searched through other apps and really enjoy using this one.
