Maps.Me It is an app of navigation and maps with the possibility of download maps to use when travel and don't have connection, we had not talked about it until today, which has been made completely free, with all the maps included, which makes it a more than interesting option.
With Maps.Me you have all the options that you can have in Google Maps or Apple Maps but adding the option to download the maps to your iPhone, ideal for abroad or to not use the data if your rate is limited.
It is important that you download the maps at home with a WiFi connection, for example those of Spain weigh 507 Mb. You can download all the maps you want, there are 345 countries and all without paying absolutely nothing (even the ski slopes are included in the maps of many stations). All maps come from OpenStreetMap and you can delete them after they are downloaded from the Settings, so that when you return from a trip they are not occupying the precious space of your iPhone.
Of course the app it will generate routes that take you to where you want to go, and in addition to the option to find a specific place, it offers sites of interest according to topics such as restaurants, gas stations, parking lots or monuments. It is intended for the iPhone, but you can download it also on your iPad if you wish (remember that only the iPad that includes a data antenna has the GPS antenna, the iPad WiFi does not).
For my taste the best are the points of interest that are included, taking a look in my city is almost everything included. You can save these sites as favorites, something very comfortable if you are organizing a trip and you don't want to be looking for or remembering everything. The search also works offline too, as it should.
In step-by-step navigation, the map rotates to show you everything from the front always (in the direction you are going), like any step-by-step browserAlthough the maps are more similar to those of Google, the operation is more similar to Apps such as TomTom or Sygic, indicates the route, kilometers and arrival time. You can also use the compass to orient the map to north if you prefer.
The choice of route is done automatically, It does not give us options for shorter, faster routes or to avoid tolls, perhaps this is the only problem that can be put, just think about the fastest route, which is almost always the one we choose, but it would not hurt .
In short, a navigation application, with turn-by-turn directions, offline maps and all in a way completely free, without ads or in-app purchases. You can not ask for more.

Very good application
Which is better. East or cityMaps2Go? .. Thanks
But you cannot search for specific addresses. Street, number and city! 0
Is there a voice?
I do not understand, you look for an address and you click on the car to tell you how to go, and it tells you that it has not found any route between the selected origin and the destination. So from the start it is not very intuitive and if you have any option I do not see it 🙁
google maps also lets you record offline maps
The iphone 6 incorporates the Siri function, for Chile or must it be purchased?
I love Commander Compass Lite. The program has various functionalities such as distance measurement to any point, creation of WayPoints, following the navigated route using the track-mode function and observing how we are progressing and where we are going. https://itunes.apple.com/app/commander-compass-lite/id340268949?mt=8&at=11lLc7&ct=c
I can't search for street and number. A puppy appears telling me that the search cannot be done
Can you avoid tolls? And how?
The app is great, I've been using it for a long time ... it's precise and very versatile. Now ... could someone tell me where I can find the maps without having to download it through the app ????
