OffMaps 2 for iPad app review

Introduction

OffMaps 2 by iosphere GmbH provides you with navigational tools on your iPad, even offline, to help you reach your destination.

This navigation-based map app is all about helping you reach your destination in the fastest, easiest way possible. You're able to position and then place a bookmark in your current location, and access searchable maps while offline or traveling abroad. The way it works is that the app actually stores maps on your device.

The great thing about saving the maps on your device is that you can save money by not having to pay for roaming charges while you search on your device.

More Information

When you download the app you'll be given two maps for free. If you want to purchase more maps you can do so for $0.99, which gets you three maps. If you'd rather, you can pay a flat rate to download unlimited maps for $5.99. Updates are always free.

The OffMaps makes use of up-to-date crowd-sourced data from OpenStreetMap. This means you'll get more than just information about the roads, you'll also get information like where to find an ATM, bar locations, restaurant locations, bus stop locations, shopping locations, and more.

The app even acts as a travel guide by providing information about the location you're visiting.

Take advantage of the information and recommendations in the TopTable restaurant tool as well. You'll find menu details and have the ability to reserve a table.

OffMaps 2 was updated on Sept. 29, 2012 and has 10 customer ratings with an average rating of two and a half out of five stars.

This is one of those map apps where the features seem to go on and on. It’s really a multi-tasking app, which I found to be extremely useful for many different reasons.

For: iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad with iOS 4.0 or later
