The application offers a variety of mapping features designed for users who need to navigate and organize their travel experiences effectively. One of the standout features is offline maps, allowing users to download map files for offline usage, ensuring that they are not reliant on internet connectivity. Additionally, users can create markers on the map with personalized attributes such as title, description, date, color, icons, and pictures, making it easier to pinpoint specific locations of interest. The markers can be freely moved around, providing flexibility in how they are displayed on the map.
To facilitate better organization, the app allows users to categorize their markers into different folders. This is complemented by a text-searchable markers list, making it simple to browse and locate specific points of interest. Users can also search for places from various sources and quickly create new markers based on the search results. A nice feature is that users can click to open a marker's location in any pre-installed map application, or utilize the built-in compass to navigate directly to a marker’s location. The app also includes functionality to display and copy GPS coordinates with ease.
Markers can take various shapes and forms, including path-markers for distance measurement and polygon or circle-surface-markers for calculating perimeter and area. Users can create GPS tracks based on their device's location, which is particularly useful for tracking travel routes. Additionally, sharing options are integrated into the application, allowing users to capture and share images of the current map or share markers as KML files. This file format is compatible with various external mapping software, including Google Earth, enhancing the app's usability with other platforms.
Premium features elevate the user experience, offering cloud-saving capabilities with options to use Google Drive or Dropbox for marker saving. Users can also collaborate by sharing their map cloud folder with friends, enabling synchronized edits among all collaborators. The app permits the restoration of previous versions of cloud folders for added peace of mind. With a one-time purchase model for a lifetime upgrade and compatibility across multiple Android devices, users can enjoy an ad-free experience. Additionally, various permissions are required to ensure full functionality, including accessing location services, external storage, and internet connectivity to utilize Google Maps effectively.
