Offline maps

[fldude99]

I'm heading down to South America for a couple weeks and want to limit data use. Maps would be useful, but it would be imperative to have them offliine...anyone have first hand experience with any of the apps on the market for offline maps?

Thanks...

I would really like to know this too, especially when I'm at a place with no cell reception.

Enjoy this article on the new Maps for Android. No release date yet, but I'd imagine it'll be within a month or so.

There is an app called Mapdroyd. It has free offline maps.

Co-pilot is not free. Make sure you're not sharing links to illegally download commercial software for free without paying for it.

Copilot looks very good & I will gladly pay for it..but unfortunately it doesn't appear to have maps for where I am traveling to in S Am

mapdryod looks pretty good, i would try it. i put it on my phone and it seems to work well

 

[fldude99]

yea its ok iin a pinch. I'm pretty sure that copilot would be much better, but I don't see support for S Am
