Why Offline maps?
It allows you to extend your battery life and lets you save from paying expensive roaming charges when traveling.
Why TRUE offline maps? Because it is the only application for the iphone that will allow you to have
+ offline routing for any place you download. It doesn't preload routes, but calculates them without the need to be connected to the internet. (IAP)
+ offline places of interest (POI) for any part of the world. You don't need to buy additional packages to get POI, everything is there when you download it.
+ offline search: search for street names and places (house numbers coming soon). (IAP)
Does GPS location onto the offline map. Bad news is it must be installed over wifi and text is a bit grainy when zooming, etc. Really useful to orient yourself and then refer to your paper map. Definitely install if you think you might use it.
I bought a couple of the Madrid Map applications, and none of the ones I purchased worked near as well as this app. I had trouble at first with the route mapper (when I put them in the origin and destination search engine, it wouldn't map the route), but shortly after emailing the seller, I was advised to double-tap each location, and it works perfectly now. Best app I've found for a handy map of Madrid, especially for free, and great service if you need help. Downloading this is a no-brainer.
