Why can't more apps be as useful as this one?


Watch out!

Be careful about downloading this monster! It's 1.8 GIG's and has so far tied up my computer with the download for two hours. At 5 - 10 times the size of other apps I can find better use of my memory.


Folks, it's a full on US map

Just Some Lady, You Don't Know Her

every small garage map for local areas all in one place, with no need for cell-service or wifi. You're virtually storing close quarters google maps for the entire US, accessible anywhere, any time. Only makes sense. What on earth could be better use of space if you prefer small adventurous ways highways and freeways? I may add on the 3D, I think it may well be worth the 2 clams (less than one starbucks plain brewed coffee)… we'll see…..


Bad app

Polahh

This is a horrible app. We used it on a road trip on the east coast and deleted it by the end. It is not searchable by town, road, city etc. If you move the map or zoom in it takes 5-10 seconds to reload-a long time if you must choose an exit/bridge/highway. The graphics are also ugly, looking like the original version of Civilization 20 years ago.


Can't search for NYC neighborhoods

The overall idea of this app is awesome. To be able to whip it out and in an instance know where you are and how to get around is just plain awesome. The one problem I see and the sole reason for two stars is this, You can't search for just any town. I've tried to search for towns like elburn, IL. ( A town) Milford, PA. (a town) bronx, NY,(one of the counties that make up New York City Manhattan, NY. (What most people consider as nyc)Etc. none will come up in search box. So though it is nice to have a road map of the entire country in one place, just imagine this. You take a wrong turn and are now lost. You whip out your new map app and type the town your in and it comes back "no results" we'll W.T.F. The app is now useless. 2 gigs of useless info. Once this is fix it will get 3 stars. Next will be the ability to search for the street your on. The app is not pretty but you don't need pretty you need functional and it's not right now. Great concept almost there, but comes up short.


Fantastic!

This is a helpful little app to have around. It is actually one of the apps that swayed my decision to buy an iPod. I think that most iPhone users don't realize how helpful it is to have a great offline map database like this for us iPod users that cant always be on the grid. Great job guys!


wow

I really like this app. It is so well thought out and the maps are stunning. I have seen software like this package for hundreds of dollars. Those are not as well thought out like this.


What an awesome app

I've used this app many times when I was without cell coverage (Big Bend Nat'l Park, Glacier Nat'l Park, Buffalo Nat'l River and more) and it's very helpful. Many thanks to the author for providing what is actually a great public service - a detailed map of the United States with GPS tracking and no cell coverage needed. Awesome app!


one of the best apps

This is one of the most useful apps I've seen in the five years I've had an Ipad. The detail in the maps is amazing and the speed of refresh is incredible. Still exploring and finding new functions after having it for a week. unlike most maps it is easy to resize with automatic labeling to get a good orientation. Can't believe they are not charging $20.00. Thanks for creating this app!
