Pros and cons of MapOut app for iPhone and iPad

MapOut app good for

Offlinekarten sind hervorragend! Super App ist Preis definitiv wert.
Fucking great app! Navigated from Berlin to Ulanbator on this app only! And some common sense obviously!
... and a very efficient software on top. Used it in remote areas of Vietnam and China and was very satisfied. Battery drainage is not too bad (hint: you can record gps tracks in flight mode and thus save some battery).
This app is a very nice add-on if you are one of those who enjoy working with digital mapping. The apps does not provide lat/long or other type of coordinates (yet but could be added to a future version?). Overall, it gives quick info based on openstreetmaps.
Its like having google maps with terrain view offline. The way The map Is showed is the best ever.
This app is the best Ive found for offline use of Open Streetmap data, especially for outdoor and travel use. Easy to download just the area you need, and small because its the vector data not image tiles. Height data used for both contours and height profiles (watch their video, and try holding two fingers on map). 3D tilting mode very useful for seeing the shape of the mountain. Beautiful and fast, Apple meets Swiss cartography. Well worth the cost, cheaper than one paper map! Version 3 lets you save waypoints, and draw tours with your finger, without adding excessive clutter. (Easy to import gpx/kml tours too.) Limitations: Does not offer satellite views. OSM data is good in many places, sometimes the best in out of the way places, but generally not as good as say the French topo maps. And it still nags you about Airplane mode, even though you can now use GPS with this on. (But after you dismiss the message, it does work.)

Some bad moments

Gorgeous graphics and fantastic user interface. Buy this if you live or spend time in Switzerland!
The Swiss are world-leading cartographers and cartophiles. Their maps are excellent, and they love them. The best Swiss topo map is called swisstopo. It is produced by the Swiss governments Bundesamt fuer Landestopografie. It shows every building in the whole country. A few years ago Mr. Garzotto brought out an iPhone app "Swiss Map Mobile", based on swisstopo map tiles. Its great, but it can be expensive depending on how you use it, and it doesnt store all of its map data in the iPhone, so you can find yourself far from civilization with no Internet connection and no map. The maps for MapOut appear to be derived from the open-source OpenStreetMaps project. While OpenStreetMaps for Switzerland are of very good quality, they are not quite up to the standard of swisstopo. The strength of MapOut is that the application includes *all* of its map data for Switzerland, some 500MB. While youre navigating, an Internet connection is unnecessary. On the other hand, your iPhone needs more than 500MB of free memory to load the app. MapOut is new, and still lacks functionality as compared, for example, with Swiss Map Mobile or MotionX GPS. But even v1.0 of MapOut is a valuable complement to my other nav apps, and I look forward to more functionality in future versions.
I bought this app after arriving in Switzerland and needing some form of offline maps for the bike touring and hiking I had planned. 1.5 weeks into my adventures and I am so very thankful to have this app. It is fast, easy to use and the information it provides for elevation, distance and locations of bike routes is extremely valuable. It even allowed me to find some routes online an send them to the app for comparison and reference alongside the built in national route data. And its all offline so I can use it everywhere! Also I reached out with questions and the developers were very friendly and helpful! Buy this app!
Pros: Awesome smooth vector maps with OpenStreetMap data! Cons: there are POIs displayed from OSM, but from a very few categories. Data is not loaded from OpensStreetMap servers but updated regularly
Decent app, good detailing and till view is more useful than I originally thought it would be. Huge downside: developers please add the ability to tag and label locations for future reference.
I purchased MapOut before traveling in Italy and it worked beautifully. I was off cell service the entire trip and MapOut helped navigate cities and countryside easily. Amazing map detail and elegant design. The only future enhancement that would be a real plus is if you could drop a pin at the days starting or end point as a reference for navigating thru the day. Thanks for a terrific mapping solution for off the grid travel adventures!
