Unlimited maps. In-app purchase

You can always have one offline and one custom url map with no need for in-app purchase!

In case you need more maps, here is information on what types of maps are provided and what are they good for.

Offline maps

You can download maps when you have a good unlimited connection (e.g. via wifi at home) and then use maps with no need for internet. To download a map, you point speedometer to a map server/source that provides map tiles (images). Those images are then saved to your iPhone/iPad to be used later with no data connection. By default, in speedometer you have download sources for MapQuest street, MapQuest satellite and author's lab/beta map servers. Speedometer allows you to add more sources, here is a list of a few available.

What's the download size?

Total number of tiles/images depends on area and zoom levels you include into download. To give you an idea:

That's a lot of data?

Take it the other way. That's how much data you'd need to drive with an online map and that's what you can save by downloading it and driving with not even a bit spent from your data plan.

Custom maps

There are many map servers providing you with awesome and specialized maps (topo, cycle, marine, etc). Most of them are based on OpenStreetMap - a map of the world, created by people like you and free to use under an open license. Examples of such maps are OpenCycleMap or Stamen maps.

Some map servers provide data on a subscription basis, as MapBox, and you'd need to add your license key into the url. All those servers can be added as map sources.

Once you have url for a custom map server entered, you can either use it online or for downloading offline maps.

Future plans

In the future we plan to add support for an ellipsoidal mercator (Yandex maps is the only known provider) and quad url schema (used by Microsoft Bing maps).
