Great way to have special maps offline – Maplets – The Offline Maps App Review

I’ve been using this now for many years and it is still a mainstay. How many apps is that true of? One of the drawbacks of nearly all the online maps on iOS devices is the absence of specialty maps. These are things like nature trail maps, campus maps, terminal maps, etc. where the usual suspects simply don't provide the desired information. This app let's you trivially find such maps near a location and download them for use offline (out of cell range or where you don't want to pay cell charges). Even better, many of the maps will show you your location with a 3G device's GPS. Better yet, if you have maps, you can add them to the collection available-no begging for a map necessary. The interface is pretty clean and straightforward. And you aren’t staring at fees per map either unlike the only real competitor in this niche. The only drawback is that to add a map, you have to match the Google Mercator projection-not an issue for small areas but troublesome if you want to post something larger. The interface for georeferencing a map is clever though a tad challenging for some map styles.
