OffMaps 2 · Offline Maps for Travelers App Reviews

Saved maps dont have correct city boundaries. The search function doesnt let you search street addresses.

The first version was difficult to use but this one is incomplete and they are only after your money by adding extra costs on a map that is incomplete. Save your money the same map (complete) is available free. I would hove rated this at zero stars, if it had let me.

I bought this app 3 days ago, and it didnt have the map I wanted. I emailed the company, and here is my map, just 3 days later. You cannot get better service than this.

I touche I would get the same features like in the first version. Its a downgrade...

The older version of offmaps was better, you only had to pay for maps, not guides AND maps. And you could choose a custom area, not premade. And it had 4 map themes!

I was hoping this would be a better version of OffMaps which is an app I really like. But instead it seems more like a downgrade. In fact it is a stretch to even call it a map application. It is more of a tourist guide app that includes maps for the regions covered by the guides you purchase. I greatly preferred the original which gave you maps of everywhere without having to specifically download them, then allowed you to purchase guides for the areas you are interested in. I had purchased guides for pretty much every location I have travelled to for which they included a guide. The old app was useful even in the areas where they did not provide guides. The guides were simply a valuable addition. But in the new version the guides seem to be the center and the map a mere afterthought. There are some things I like about its interface better than the original, and if they would go back to allowing you to view the map of the world with the guides being the addons, then I would give this app more stars. Or if it were advertised as a collection of tourist guides rather than a mapping application I would rate it better. But for its advertised purpose it is definitely a big step down from the original.

I wish I had of read the reviews, but as an original version user I followed the upgrade prompts only to find out everything costs money. At least I could get maps free with the first version. I do not recommend this app to anyone.

This app is vastly inferior to version 1 because: -You must pay for maps. -Maps can only be downloaded in specific areas, you cant select an arbitrary bbox to download. -The maps are not the latest data on OSM, they are out of date. Download version 1 of this app, it is much better.

Do not buy this app. It purports to be an offline map solution but does not provide street names beyond the main thoroughfares! I downloaded Tokyo and Kyoto for an upcoming trip to Japan - well-documented cities! No street names? Im glad I forked over my $0.99 if only to write a review to warn others to stay away from this worthless app. There must be something better.

Biggest pros • pretty interface • searchable (finally) Biggest cons • A pay app that charges for the very function you thought you were paying for?? Version 1 does offline maps at no extra charge. Stick with it. • developer left first version to die. Expect them to do it again to this one.

as all know, a map w/o data is useless, well this app is very close to it: I bought the flat rate for “unlimited" download for maps,only to find out that most street names are missing: you are lucky if you can find any street with name. Save your money. Google maps is much better with way more data, and free.

Good heavens people, stop whining about the map cost in v2. When did you last get a good city map for 33c, and 2 are included in the app purchase. Its an excellent application and having an offline database is quite the rescue when no wifi is around. I recommend it.

I have traveled to SanFran and Copenhagen this year with this app and I have found it very useful and reliable. I have another trip to Ecuador this summer and I had hoped there was a map for some cities there but sadly they didnt. I simply contacted the development team with a deadline for my trip departure, and they managed to get the city fully set up on there in time! Customer responsiveness, and the apps usefulness, ease of operation, and reliability make for a 5 star recommendation from me!

Ive used this app a couple of times where I got lost (no gps on an iPod) and was able to find my bearings and get back on track. However when youre thinking of using this app to get a route for public transit, youre out of luck. Instead of route numbers, all you get are colored lines that show the routes themselves. My advice to the developers, add route numbers to the public transit likes and make the bus stop markers a little more opaque.

Being able to download maps before you go and being able to access them without a wifi connection is a godsend! The maps work great and its well worth the price you pay. Get the flat rate and download all the maps you need before you go. I was leaving very shortly for a trip and there was only one map of a smaller town that I didnt have. I thought what the hell and contacted customer service; a day and a half later I got a response saying that they added the map I needed! I mean seriously, where do you get service like that these days. Awesome. All in all a great purchase!

Only get 3 maps for the purchase price and only shows about 10% of the street names. Prob worth 99c but would not buy any other maps knowing not all street names are shown.

A map should be able to search for any address or zip code when it doesnt know the name of the place one seeks. This one fails in this regard. It should recognize intersection descriptions. It comes back with an error that the address is not on the map. The smarts in the address search behave oddly. Typing in " E 3rd " begets a response of 111 street. The bus map for New York does not work. Subway one does. Zooming is good. Lot of Hotels do not show up in the search. All in all, less than stellar. Wont want to buy any more maps until they improve the basics. Roadtrip update 110820: 1) Address search makes mistakes, rarely correct. In a word: Incompetent. 2) Bookmark utility acceptable however changing views looses the displayed map pins forcing you to re-enter bookmarks and remake your selections. In a word: Clumsy 3) Database for restaurants etc. very incomplete. In a word: disappointing. 4) Street names hard to find. Scroll long distances to read the names. In a word: tedious. 5) Bus overlay map shows stops but not routes. In a word: Useless. 6) Subway map show routes and stops. Popups show connections but you must drill down. The one for NY in incomplete and incorrect. Many better subway maps avail. 7) Correction to previous review. Pin dropping works great. Bookmarking new and existing sites works great. This product is not recommended until some basics are fixed. Not sure why some rated it excellent. A paper map performs better. I am willing to pay more for maps that work correctly, display useful metadata, remember my preferences and dont require me to repeat myself every time I open the map.

Street names are missing on some maps but overall I think its good value for the price

This is the best offline map app there is on the market. Its a great tool to have when your on the go and have no wifi signal.

I think this app is great! I deliver in Vancouver but mostly rural Fraser valley and outlining areas. For the price and ease of this app it beats map books hands down. I can bookmark several addresses and route myself and for us drivers find restaurants and gas stations. Good work and is pretty up to date with growing subdevisions. BUDDYBEAR Driver 2740
