Fills a Need for Me
This app fills a gap in my present map app collection. We often travel out of cell phone range and having an offline road atlas that works well with the GPS is just what I needed. I tested the app in a rural area with spotty cell coverage where Google Maps is slow to load or doesnt load at all. This map showed the main roads in the area and my position on the roads as I travelled along with an arrow indicating my direction of travel. Scrolling is quick and fairly smooth. No, it doesnt have every street. While more detail would be nice, this app is just what it represent to be, a mobile USA road atlas. Road atlases for the entire country generally do not have a lot of detail. It was a nice surprise to find that the app came with a credit to download USGS topo maps (all levels) for one state for free. You can download sections of the topo maps relative to a GPS location to be cached for offline access. You can purchase additional licenses to download topo maps on their website. I like this app better than some other topo map apps I have purchased. I also like the road atlas map and can see myself using it often on my travels this year.
