How's it Work?

Just select the cities, regions, or even entire countries you want to download, and it will be available for offline use, complete with information on thousands of POIs (Points of Interest), and travel guides and Wikipedia articles.

To do this we utilize open data from openstreetmap.org, naturalearthdata.com, geonames.org, wikitravel.org, and wikipedia.org and compress and package it in a format optimized for mobile devices. PocketEarth renders beautiful vector maps in real-time using our OpenGL ES based MagikEngine technology. So unlike other map apps which only download pre-rendered images (map tiles), our maps are only a fraction of the size, and you can better control the appearance of the map with different style sheets and data layers.

Please Note:
1. Using the GPS features of this app can significantly affect battery life. Only leave GPS enabled when you need to use it. You can also control the GPS accuracy in the settings screen of our app to help reduce battery drain.
2. This app does a one time per version anonymous registration to our server. This sends only very basic information such as language and iOS version to help us better improve our app. We do *NOT* track your usage or collect any personal information.
3. This app uses open map data from openstreetmap.org, please visit their website to check the map detail for specific regions.

Customer Reviews

Best Offline Maps App (5 stars)
This is the best offline maps App I have found yet. It lets you go EVERYWHERE. You aren't confined to some small area around a city. You can zoom out as far as you want. When online you can move the map to any place and the maps are downloaded automatically! You don't have to first find the maps in some list like many other apps I have used. It also lets you download entire countries and cities very easily. The wikipedia feature is in

LOTS of features and fast! (5 stars)
This is definitely the fastest map app I've seen, and the visual quality and detail of the maps is very good. Its also loaded with features. Great value.

Best offline maps (5 stars)
Best app I have found for traveling the world. Very smooth rendering and easy to use points of interest, searching, and routing. I have bought several offline maps and this far exceeds the performance and functionality of any others.

Wish it had a feature to automatically download an entire country or region vs scrolling to the areas you want.
