True Offline Maps for iPhone

Been searching for ways to create offline maps for my next overseas trip. There are quite a few software that fits the requirement – offmaps, offlinemaps. But none of these have the capability to do offline routing between 2 POI.

Preferred the offlinemaps over offmaps due to the friendlier and more detailed Google Maps. Offmaps actually uses Openstreet Maps which lacks alot of details – small roads are not named, buildings are not shown.

While searching for better maps application for the iPhone. Saw quite a few spam across several forums and blogs mentioning about a new app that is able to browse map and create routes offline. Oh boy, I was overjoyed! The application is call True Offline Maps.

Several friends and I installed True Offline Maps. The verdict? It is utter disappointment. The main drawback is you can only download a tiny portion of the map. The area you can download is much smaller than the area of Singapore. The next worst thing is – it can only download a single maps at a time. Yes. The previous downloaded map will be replaced. The downloaded POI is amazingly limited with no option for user to specify new POI.

This application don’t deserve the $$ now. Probably wait for it to mature. For now, stick to offline maps.
