You Need A Map Screenshots

Description

If you get lost or in an emergency, YOU NEED A MAP! A map that works everywhere even without a cell phone signal. A map that shows not just roads but also terrain, streams, lakes and other landmarks. A map that covers all 50 states.

Thanks for making You Need A Map one of the most popular iOS navigation apps! You Need A Map is now free forever!

Sure, your iPhone has a great built in map but all it takes is one wrong turn and you could find yourself stuck in the snow behind a locked gate with no cell phone signal. What is the fastest way back to the highway? Should you go forwards or back? Is there a better road just a short distance away? Is there a raging stream or an steep cliff between you and the road? YOU NEED A MAP!

You Need A Map is a huge application. It has to be. It contains every mountain, hill, stream, lake, pond, freeway, highway, local road and track from two large online databases compressed into a 2GB app. In addition it contains many buildings, trails, railways, points of interest and polygon features. It has everything you need to find out where you are and what is around you anywhere in the USA.

Two maps in one! You Need A Map contains the roads from OpenStreetMap.org AND the US Census. OpenStreetMap has more accurate highways while the US Census has more accurate local streets. You can flip between these maps by turning the US Census Roads option on or off in the map settings.

Most navigation apps on the iPhone must transfer their maps from servers on the internet. This can be slow in areas with only 2G coverage or completely unavailable in wilderness areas where a map would be most useful. You Need A Map solves this problem by rendering maps directly on your iPhone. This extremely fast high quality software renderer is the first of its kind for mobile devices.

You Need A Map uses the same code as Scenic Map and has most of the same features. These include many map customization options, customizable waypoints, direction and bearing information, a smooth scrolling moving map display while driving or flying, city search and much more.

Customer Reviews

Great to have a map of the US in such detail - all for 99 cents! (5 stars)
What a great app! Download the database so you have access to an entire hi-resolution map of the US, even when not connected to the Internet! Great detail, allows excellent rendition of the contours with variable sun position. Rivers and Streams, Contours, Points of Interest, Essentially every road in the entire US. File size is 2 GB - not bad for such detail!

If you're into maps, This Is It! (5 stars)
After several emails back and forth to Mark, I'm convinced he's in this project for the long haul. He has taken the incredible depth of the Open Street project and has placed it onto your iPad, iPhone, etc. -- without the continuous need for an internet connection. The interface is very clean and intuitive, and I highly recommend this app for basic navigation, and browsing. Try it, and I think you'll agree. Really looking forward to the

Simply Awesome (5 stars)
This is a great mapping resource. I can't believe that is actually free. This resource is worth the two GB o space that it consumes. The maps a very detailed and a very high quality.

I'm using the app with a DUAL GPS XGPS251 cradle on my iTouch and the hardware and software work very well together and as expected

I would recommend these maps to anyone. Even the street level maps are detailed which is somewhat unusual f
