Pros and cons of Avenza Maps: Offline Mapping app for iPhone and iPad

Avenza Maps: Offline Mapping app good for

This is perfect for custom PDF maps. I love being able to see my location on my own custom maps. I can create waypoints with attributes too.

PDF maps with embedded GPS data are rare, but if one exists that suits your needs, this is a huge advancement over the paper print-out. On my iPhone, Ive used it for cycling and transit and while it takes a long time to do the initial rasterization, once the bitmaps are in there, the interface is very fast and smartly designed. At first I thought it was lame that it could not keep the file vector, but even on my MacBook Pro, some PDF maps can take 10 seconds to render so I can understand why the maps need to be bitmaps. I cant wait for more maps and I hope I can use this the next time Im a tourist somewhere new.

Doing oil exploration, I have access to custom PDF maps created with Arcview and the program works flawlessly, allowing easy loading and selection of maps and waypoint creation. Im still new with the program, but so far Im impressed.

This is a good option to fall back on while traveling if you need off line maps. Ive tried Many others bit this is one of the better free ones.

I guess the best part of this app is that the maps are on the iPhone and you do not need to be using your data plan. The strength here is the developers of the app. They go out of their way to make sure that things work. For example they contacted a map provider and had them tweak their map to work better. Both email and phone support are great. The weakness here is most likely the map providers. So contact the developer if you have problems with a map I think they will help ensure that it works. Thanks to Gord in support.

This is a very solid, well written application. The support for geoPDF maps is incredibly useful for our GIS users within our aviation company Caveat: This app would be rated 5 stars if you could record and view your track, then email it as a gpx or kml. I have another app that does this is and allows for the use of custom maps but is badly written and a pain to use. I would pay for GPS track viewing and export capability in this app. Hint Hint.

Some bad moments

Wanted to buy the maps...but for Central America & Caribbean theres just 1 choice- El Salvadore.

Just paid 6 bux for a map that only shows a topo that u can barely zoom? And no streets avail in the map!? Junk

My first thought was "yes! Finally!" until I tried to download the map of Algonquin park which I wanted to try on my upcoming camping trip and it kept freezing/crashing my phone during the extraction process!?? Very disappointed I am indeed.

Works great when its actually working. Crashes the app every second time you open it. Crashes the entire iPad about every 5th time. Fix the crashing issues and Ill change my rating to 5 stars.

Pins no longer show up in different colours in google earth. No longer able to switch between compass navigation and North being top of map easily. No longer exports embedded photos easily to google earth. What were you guys thinking??? Serious downgrade, I wish I could go back to the old version.

I have to agree with previous reviewer. They have lost functionality. Dont see a lot of planning or testing from these guys. I can only hope they can restore some of the functionality they had under this new architecture. I am not sure they know where there going. Of critical importance -if you export data then try and import that data you will lose you first item of data. Not sure how they can charge for a commercial license when there program losses data.
