Pocket Earth Maps App Reviews

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!!

Google maps and Apples are better and free.

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.

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

This 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.

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. :-(

Why charge to download FREE online maps?? Un-installed.

You have to first download maps for offline navigation. In offline mode the accuracy is very good. The app even shows how fast you travel. The favourites function is very useful to get back to your hotel. Highly recommend, if you have no data roaming,

Quite good app, once you know how to use it. Not satisfactory is the zoom function. Streets names or other titles are not beeing zoomed. They stay in small, sometimes unreadable sizes. There should be a function to show the names in bigger letters. Second thing that needs improvement are the missing names of islands and sometimes countries. Hope there will be improvement.

I use this regularly when I travel. Very handy.

Ive 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!!!

I 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.

Saved me on my trip to Thailand. Also great for cycling.

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.

Only Ireland !
