First, the history:
I downloaded this app, because my friend and I have planned on your own a round trip in Scotland.
Although we had a map Schotlandführer with this, as well as for the car its own navigation system, but I wanted to have as a supplement but a digital map on which, if appropriate, ect a road. may seek (so as not to look at the map to death). These expectations have been fully met, the bookmark was even an added bonus, of which I am still very excited.
Now my more detailed description:
Advantageously, (available in the free version).
My observations refer only for the map of Scotland, but I assume that the other countries have similarly detailed maps:
-This Map of Scotland but I really liked. Not only roads are listed, but with a correspondingly high magnification are also hotels, banks, shops (supermarkets, shopping stores), restaurants, cafes, bars, pubs, public toilets, bus and train stations, attractions (more on that later) and probably much more, sometimes even by the name of the institution (such as H & M, Lidl etc.) to find.
-It Is angezezeigt a scale and compass
-The Card can be quite simple shrink with two fingers and enlarge and rotate (image with two fingers holding and rotating).
Advantageously, (which was only available in the Pro version, unfortunately)
-Easy to use the respective functions
-The Search of streets, monuments, hostels, etc., if the name is known worked very well and was very often a huge help.
-It Was also possible to look for certain categories, ie interest, Dining options etc. (see below but even more).
-there is a GPS feature that is likely to be beneficial if you need them for. I have not used (because I saw too late that my device supports such a function), the accuracy of the function I can say anything here, comes viuelleicht yet.
Select -The bookmarking and the possibility a remark and color of the bookmark was very helpful at various points. When nerves in the display, it can, according to need, and hide. An overview of all set bookmarks is possible, they are then by distance, from a minimum height displayed.
The advantages of the bookmarks as follows:
1. I could select each visited monuments and places and so understand our way and assign exactly after the holiday each location.
2. In advance, I had a few hostels on the internet picked out (which were recorded partly on the map). This I have highlighted in a special color and Comments (telephone numbers and prices) added that were quickly available.
3. Different colors I could all individual meanings assign (pubs for the evening, hostels for stays, bus and train stations, attractions, etc.) and never got mixed up.
I missed / was not advantageous
-problematisch I find that for more accurate display the maps of each country must be downloaded individually what an appropriate Internet connection requires (and so little spontaneity takes).
(Not downloaded the map, but a rough map display)
-The Detail of the map goes, depending on the country, at the expense of file size.
Examples: Hamburg are 10MB, 151MB Poland, Spain 230 MB.
For me, this is as yet not a problem, let's see what it looks like after the next visits.
-The Ability to sights to look (in the corresponding point) can replace a previous search is not. In my view, only the main attractions were shown what was decidedly too little. This function should not be relied (we have not, so this no point deduction)
-Despite Scale sometimes has "Get Directions" or "Show Distance" function missing. Perhaps I'm also very spoiled by Google Maps. However, should be noted here, it is not actually also a navigation app, so this is perhaps asking too much (so no points deduction).
-The Bookmarks that I have gained so much, could not be put to 3 viewpoints. This has something annoyed me. However, the percentage of a total of about 60 bookmark, quite low.
A bookmark is apparently only be set if is actually recorded at this location something on the map. We have held several times at vantage points, where was no more, except the road to see on the map. Sometimes I was able to help me, as I have set the bookmark in a mailbox or a nearby restaurant.
