Guru Maps Pro & GPS Tracker App Reviews

Simply Brilliant! Used it all over Cuba. It's works without signal so long as the maps are downloaded first.

I like it very much for off-road caching tours! :-)

First and last review. You want reviews but you do so after charging people for the app. HELLO. You would probobaly get more reviews if you didnt charge for the app. Apple I believe is well aware of the Catch-22 they put developers in in reviews.

Does what it says. Conveinient to orient yourself. Would be nice if it could guide you to a destination.

The path tracking feature works really well. Its easy to use, runs for hours without eating up your battery life, and allows exports too.

Off line maps! GPS enabled even off line. For travellers, if you dont have network connection, this is a life saver. I use it way more than the on line options, even when Im well connected to the network. I still dont really understand the difference between this and the non-pro version. Yesterday I helped a friend in Thailand get it and we couldnt find a suitable explanation of the difference. So she just got the non-pro version. She can upgrade when she finds whatever it is that makes the pro worth it. I did, I just cant remember why.

Battery life only marginally impacted by route tracking, which also works at high speed 390km +} direction finding good, but sync is broken.

When zooming in on google offline map, app crashes. Other then that, it works well

Awesome app that Ive been using since many years now, and this app helps me a lot when navigating in offline mode to find my way, record new itinerary to a new places allowing me to easily find my way back to where I started from. But one thing I keep missing in this application is the ability to find a direction from my actual location to a selected coordinate or place, or from a selected place to another selected place. Apple map and Google map can easily achieve this. It will be great to have such a feature include in this already awesome application, that way, I can know the itinerary to a selected place, the total distance. Extra: is it possible to have google earth like map (satellite view) in offline mode? Ive tried all offline maps and most are vector maps which doesnt show any green land and building like google earth. Even if this features will be in app purchase, please consider the requests. Keep on the good work. To viewer that looking for offline maps, you will love this app and all its current features.

Ive been using it for years and it just keeps getting better!!! Lots of updates, they are on the ball. Constantly updating the app and updating the downloadable free maps. It has small DETAILED downloadable maps that you can access fast, require no data (other than when you download them) and uses less power (no data means less power). Be sure to download your maps in advance of your trip so you don’t eat up your power or data. It’s great to have a map that does not require data downloads or a signal. I travel to Costa Rica often and it’s a must have app. If you download AND select vector maps in advance, you will not use data with this app (but you have to do this in advance!). Please understand what this app does. It’s a digital MAP, not a GPS, the map will show you where you are, not route you (just like a big paper map, but with a magic dot where you are). If you download the vector maps (and have the settings set for vector maps) it does not need any data (I use this on an iPad with no data plan and it works great!). These are vector maps: small detailed scaleable maps. These are easily downloadable from the app itself. This means with a quick download (size varies on state/country) I have all the details do the the city street and many landmarks. Here’s the important part: if I’m in an area of Michigan with no cell coverage I can still view my map because I already downloaded the whole thing! (You MUST leave your settings on “vector", or it will try to download maps for whatever setting you are set at!) My old maps (created the hard way) still work great, but 99% of the time I’ll be using these new vector maps. The pro version has all of these INCLUDED additional features over the free version: Downloading other off-line maps (this is great and it why I purchased it in the first place) you can get maps from different sources and build them (on your desktop computer) and put them on the device for later. I downloaded great maps with heights of the hills/mountains for where I hike in Costa Rica, I don’t need to use international data roaming for this since I built them once and they stay on the device. You can also leave bookmarks in the app, incredibly useful for marking places that have no other frame of reference. You can have it record a path/trail for where you have been and view (or export) where you’ve been. When hiking, I think of it as bread crumbs. I miss the old app icon but I’m not going to ding the app any points for that! These folks listen to feedback so write them with suggestions, people complained about the alert notifications and they removed it (but the old reviews are still there). I’ve sent them country suggestions (was there a week or two later), font size suggestions, bug reports and more. They’re constantly updating the maps and they have WAY more maps available then back in 2014 when they added downloadable maps to the app.

Thank you so much

Nice to use maps offline when in foreign countries. Maps have limited download size but not so detailed. No routing capabilities. Good tracking but export in KML too much complex. Id like to stop GPS use directly from the App when at home. Thanks to devs team, continue this good job.

Excellent App ! Must have !

One of the best navigation apps for remote areas.

Very good GPS App

A very good helper in unkown terrain! Evgen, how about adding a compass overlay to the map view?

Best Map-App I found in the App-Store!

Great App!!!

If you update to Pro version all your POIs will be lost. You begin from scratch.
