Customer Reviews
Terrible first impression
Maps, when the display at all, are very slow to draw. But most of the time the screen is just filled with big sections of black, or a greyed checkerboard showing no image, When you CAN see and select maps, even small areas selected for offline use are very, very big amounts of data that take long time to download and also a long time to backup/sync on your computer.
I would have really liked this app to work -- and may revisit this review if the developer can fix things.
Don
It doesn't work offline. you can only zoom in and view the street names when you are online .. if I needed an online map, I would have used the google built-in map application (for free). This app is useless.
Excellent app
If you read the directions and download the parts of the map you will need offline, then this app works great! I do think it needs one improvement. If you have the areas downloaded, then you should be able to search specific addresses. I always get an error message when I type in an address. Also it would be nice to have local businesses pinned on the map too.
