Galileo Offline Maps

I'm not one to rave about apps just because, but Galileo is really the best app for travellers. Download all your maps when you have a WiFi connection and use them everywhere. But it's the highly intuitive design, with excellent features that just work, that rate the 5 stars. Touch 2 points and it shows you the distance between them. Choose offline vs online map modes. The new vector map feature with auto download makes it a no-brainer (used to be somewhat convoluted and "techy" to get offline maps before). You can use the free version but the "Bookmark" feature alone is worth the $4 for the package. But you can always try the non-pro free version and buy in-app the features that make it essentially the same as the Pro version (though I thinkn it's logistically simpler to delete the non-Pro and install the Pro version once you decide to buy, otherwise you will always have the "non-Pro-with-in-app-purchase" version).

Really! They read like self-promos. In reality this app is poorly organized (e.g., available maps are listed in no apparent order, not by continent, nor in ABC order). The iconography reminds me of the movie Idiocracy, the scene where the hospital receptionist has to choose the event from a panel. A word describing each icon won't hurt. Map Features is a good feature but here is where text should meet icon. Instead there is only text. The POI descriptions cover too much of the map. On first run I was presented with an upgrade prompt right after I was notified I could use full features for 5 days & I could not dismiss the prompt except by closing then re-opening the app. This app could be much better if its developer focused more on actual development rather than self-promotion.

I got it because I like to see where I am going without using internet data. I do not have unlimited data so using this helps save my data for other things along with not having to bump up to the next data level so it that sense it does save me money. Good stable app that does what it claims. Try it out.

This has helped me from getting lost wherever I travel. Do especially like the China offset feature - other offline map apps have me moving a distance off from the actual line of travel there. Generally accurate when using GPS.
