« How's it Work? »
Just select the cities, regions, or even whole countries you want to download, and it will be available for offline use, complete with information on thousands of POIs (Points of Interest), and optionally, topographic maps, travel guides and Wikipedia articles.
To learn more about Pocket Earth or the community driven open data sources that we use, please visit our website.
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).

This is a "demo" version,... only good for Dublin, Ireland. If you want anything else you have to buy the full version. Doesn't tell ya that in the ad or how much it is.
Very limited demo

Only shows Ireland, so I don't 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.
Great maps

The 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.
Can't really be used offline

I thought this would be the solution for getting around while out of the country without paying foreign data rates. It's not. You can't do something as basic as get a route to a landmark without being online. I was left clumsily trying to drive while repeatedly looking down at my screen to see where on the map I am since I couldn't plan a route or get turn by turn directions without being online even though the full map had been downloaded to my phone. I don't see the point of this if it can't give you directions without being online.
Fantastic app

Won't route without internet connection

One of my favorite Apps

Before 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.
