Navigator with offline maps: which one to free download for your mobile.
We have tested and tried for you the best Offline Navigator App for both iOS and Android systems. Let’s see which one is the best.
Traveling always knowing where you are is one of the main needs of those who travel the world. Even more for those who are involved in an off road race, if you have to drive a chase truck, do a pre run or even to compete.
There are many smartphone applications that allow you to browse, but few are those that work properly offline.
We have tried and used many applications for iOS and Android over the years of our races around the world but in the end only two convinced us. And among these, one out of all has excelled.
What is an Offline Navigation App for?
Anyone will have to look for an address or reach a destination in a remote area without network coverage. For these situations we have a solution: use an app with offline maps that doesn’t need the internet to work. These navigation apps work for both iOS and Android and are very simple to use.
What’s the best Offline Navigator App.
Two are the best offline navigation Apps. The first created by Google is the famous Google Map. The second one, which is also free, is called Maps.me (Maps with Me). Both are very good and depending on the uses one can be better than the other. But in general and especially for off road use, Maps.me is the best choice for us. And now let’s explain why.
Maps.me: Navigation App for iOS/Android. How it works and why to download it.
Maps.me is an app that works as a navigator even offline. Let’s see what are the main features:
- Download maps by area
- Light application
- Easy to use
- Offline navigator with speed indicator
- Search for points of interest
- Possibility to save lists and bookmarks
- Load tracks and waypoints (useful feature for off road races)
Maps.me is a very easy to use application. As it opens, it asks you to download the region where you are. The maps are very light and this will allow your browser to work even without signal. The menu is very intuitive and allows you to search for addresses, places of interest. With a few clicks, you can navigate and find your way to the location you want.
A very useful function allows you to load the tracks provided for off-road races (see for example those given by SCORE International) to have the race course at your fingertips. It is a very useful tip both for chase trucks and for those who are in the race in case of damage to the main Gps systems, it will be impossible to get lost!
