User Reviews for MAPS.ME: Offline Maps, GPS Nav

Used to be best offline navigation map

This app used to be the best offline navigation map. Now guess what they did? They ask for money if you want to download more than a certain amount of offline maps. It’s like $4.99/month? WHY? They already had other ways that they made money through other in-app purchases like their eSIMs, etc. I don’t want to have to delete maps if I want to download more. They even have their own credit card. I have been using this app for 6-8 years, and on multiple domestic and international trips. Only now did they decide to do this. It’s only a matter of time before they start charging for other features. Besides this major annoyance, this app provides turn-by-turn directions (it actually talks!), and good offline biking, walking, and driving directions. The walking directions used to not have speech, though they might have fixed that since I last tried to use it. I mainly the directions feature for driving and biking. They have all the hiking and mountain biking trails mapped that I’ve needed so far. The maps are more detailed than Google Maps, yet somehow manage to use less storage.

I love this app

I just got back from a two week road trip in Norway. I live in the US and was not wanting to buy an international plan for data. I downloaded this app after I read that it doesn’t use WiFi or data. The minute that we got into our rental car and we’re trying to find out how to get to our hotel I turned on this app. I put in the town name and a bunch of option popped up, including hotels, restaurants and sightseeing opportunities. Still being new to the app I was waiting for an error message to pop saying I needed to connect to a server. Fast forward to the last day of vacation. We traveled over 3,500 miles in Norway, Finland and Sweden and every time this app took us to the place we wanted to be. This entire vacation was stress free and we didn’t have to worry about using the gigantic paper maps when we got lost. If your planning on traveling to a country or location that you know you won’t have service or your like me and does not want to pay extra charges for an international plan download this app.

I need other features, ...

Darn, thought I had found the map I need, ... guess not, ... this is missing things that a number of other maps already have, ... but is “supposed” to have stuff for hikers, outdoorsmen, (kayak fishing), ... like the location of “all” boat ramps, put in/take out points, marina repair, etcetera, ... for canoeing, kayaking, or float tube drifting, ... And I also need a marine version, that would include specific features, like area weather reports, current flow, depth charts, & user feedback notations for waypoints, ... in addition to including time of day moon/sun rise charts, ...Sure! Having hiking trail info would be great, I guess, but being able to also camp, fish, clean, & cook, plus places to rest overnite, including temporary shelters, would be a max enjoyable experience, ... maybe the developers could actually manage something of this magnitude? But then maybe not, I’ll have to stick to my Google maps for now I s’pose, .., great, but not detailed enough for me, ...

no ads and in-app purchases! and yes it's really free.

This free app is already at the top of the heap simply because it has no ads and in-app purchases. But moreover, it's actually useful! You can use this without an internet connection. This means if you're a cheapskate like me and don't have a data plan, you can still use this. After downloading this app at home, just download the maps you need. The maps are detailed with many POI's included. It'll also create a route from your current location to a destination on the map. It's better than CityMaps2Go which I used before until it started charging a fee.There are a few things I wish they change. First, the name. It doesn't conform with other app names. Second, the icon color. Green is usually for chatting apps like Message and FaceTime. And third, either the arrow color or route color need to change when trying to follow a route on the map. Both the arrow color and route color are the same color blue and it's difficult to see where you are along the route. Other than these things, this app is perfect.

Seems to be getting worse, not better

I’ve had the app for several years. It once helped a friend and I find a remote trail on a Mexican volcano. I’ve used it several times in remote areas without cell service. While the turn directions were almost too many at times, I appreciated that the app could get me somewhere until I had service. As of late, however, I get no more voice from the app, it keeps telling me to turn on location services when it already is turned in, tells me to backup bookmarks, and hasn’t played well with CarPlay - not updating time nor distance and often locking up. I considered a subscription, but not if it’s like this now. Today, just to see how much the Pro subscription is, I tried to look by pressing the button in the app. It says there’s no internet connection, even though I have allowed cellular data, am on wifi, and every other app I’m using is working.

The international companion that saves you money

Do you like saving money on international trips? If so, this app is a must. I found it before our 2 week trip to Chile. On that trip, we rented a car and drove 2100 kilometers. In all of that driving, we encountered one waypoint the map didn’t have, and another that was off by two blocks. Because of the completely offline nature of maps and waypoints and directions, we only had to enable cellular once in that two weeks to find that waypoint that was off by two blocks. So just $10 to Verizon for travel pass, instead of the $140 we likely would have paid.One complaint is the turn by turn directions. They could use some tweaking. As is, they sometimes cause you to blow past turns and take a U-turn. Not because of the diver, but because the route did that. It was weird. Also, the voice wasn’t too good at announcing the turns, but luckily my wife was.

New version destroyed the app

I wish there were a way to go back to the prior version. While the new version (11.0.0) may have "pretty" maps, it has removed the ability to navigate with north up, so now the map spins around crazily while driving. Also seems to be 3D navigation only, not flat map, so you can no longer judge distances by looking. It no longer downloads maps if the screen locks, so you have to babysit while downloading, constantly tapping the screen to avoid auto lock. Downloads take forever - I am at a location with high speed fibre optic internet, and each map takes 15-20 minutes to download. Prepping for a road trip across South Africa where many routes have no cell coverage and the app does not let me download three of the nine provinces. The app no longer tells the download sizes, so I cannot make an informed decision about downloading over data vs wifi. The developers seem to be living in some sort of wonderful bubble with lots of wifi and complete cell coverage, unlike much of the real world. Disappointed.

Finally 5 stars

This app is my favourite navigation vehicle. Recently introduced altitude lines make it a sound competitor to specialised trekking apps. Only a few countries like China and Switzerland have more detailed off road maps available. In Africa, topographical details are plentiful but the overall navigation is a bit difficult. Worldwide, in cities and densely populated areas I still need to use the main competitor to get the whole picture. However, the app has been improving constantly. Pins and bookmarks are easy to put and to edit. It is available off line. It contains an amazing amount of off road details, even if they are not always completely described and searchable. For example, the Sentiero Italia crosses Sardenia from north to south. But only a small part appears as search result. Which is still way better than the competitor which has proved itself more or less useless off road. If I were the developer I would concentrate on including all available accommodations (in the right place!), including small stuff, campsites, and remote places, make them fully searchable - and become the ultimate global navigation app for outdoor activities. In a way it already has reached that status.

GREAT idea but needs LOTS of work

I love the idea of this app - especially as a NYC dweller who always finds myself needing to look up destinations on the subway with no internet connection. I downloaded the NYC map and then tried searching for a destination. Even though I had internet connection, it couldn’t find ANY locations for names of businesses I typed in... frequent destinations that show up #1 on a simple Google search. So I tried to type in the address, which is extremely annoying in an age where no one memorizes addresses or phone numbers anymore, but it literally couldn’t find ANY address. Not a single one. Finally, your nail in the coffin was that there’s zero support for subway directions, which is the only way I get around. A LOT of people in NYC could seriously benefit from this app (since lack of internet on the subway drives us all nuts) but not without transit directions, and DEFINITELY not if you can’t find anything. I’ll revise this rating if you get functionality, because I want this app so badly and would even pay for it, but honestly it’s not ready so I’m deleting it.

Suddenly subscription

This is my in case staff map application. I never really use it but like to have the maps downloaded because it will work off GPS with no cell service, previously had downloaded over 12 GB of maps of North America. With the latest update, all of a sudden I am over the allowable limit of maps, and it requires a ongoing subscription to download more than 10 Mabs, California alone has more than 10 maps the way they’re broken up. I like the app and I don’t mind paying for an application, but I am NOT paying in perpetuity, especially for some thing that ideally wont meed to use.I would love a one time purchase version, more stripped down and bare bones like this used to be years ago without the extra fat. No voice guidance would be fine with me, just an address search, wouldn’t even mind planning out my own routes, some long as I can search for my destination, like A map as if I pulled it out of my glove box would be great. I have no problem paying a one time fee, or buying maps for a one time fee.
