» Maps Offline 0.50 let’s you search your map offline
Maps offline must be one of the most viewed topics on my whole blog.
I’m happy that the developer has released an updated version, as this version actually resolves a problem a lot of users have.
When you save your map, and then reactivate it, sometimes it happens that the map app is not positioning you exactly above your saved map, so you could be anywhere in the whole world, but not on your saved map.
Now this is a very very interesting little app.
Imagine you’re going on a trip to a certain city, but you don’t want to cary a gps around, then this app is your friend.
It lets you save a map or a route for later viewing.
I know that some cities have town covered wi-fi, but a lot of cities don’t, and if you have a map of where you’re going … you can always find your way 
How does it work?
You browse the map you’d like to save with the google maps iPhone app.
Then you start the app, and save the current sqlite file (in my case it is Westvlaanderen).
Now when you’re offline (not connected to wi-fi or gprs) you can still use that map or any other map you have saved.
The same goes for routes
