Pocket Earth Maps

I have used this all over the world. Just download the state or country. Easy peasy. They take space so don’t forget to delete them when your trip is over.

Goes above and beyond normal "apps"; this is like having superpowers. Offline waypoints, GPS tracking in snow covered conditions, what3words locations, this app has had one of the four coveted spots on my iPhone's dock for years. I am able to pull answers out that friends can't find, locate hidden gems, and track trails that other maps don't show. Get it and pay for it, because it's worth it. This review is not sponsored; I'm just a big fan.

Two complaints in an otherwise solid app: (1) Minor roads only appear when you zoom pretty far in. They should be visibility at pretty much all zooms as very light lines (for example). (2) Road labels don’t appear on minor roads until you are zoomed way, way in. These are vector maps, so all the data is there at all zooms - the developer just chooses not to display it for us. Give us a switch/option to “show all roads”, for example - some of us would choose to have a busier map for certain applications, given that is has more information.
