★ Offline High Quality Map ★ Real-Time GPS Tracking ★ Offline Guide ★ Discover Places Around You ★ Offline Search ★ Universal App

Smart Maps is simply the best app to explore and discover the city, without an Internet connection. Its an offline street level map & city guide, that will save you the money you pay for expensive data roaming charges when you travel abroad. Its also a great alternative to the classic Maps app, because its much faster (it has no loading time) and has some great features like the Guide or "Around Me".

Smart Maps was ranked:


★ OFFLINE MAP
No Internet connection required. The entire app was designed with the concept that it should work offline, without the need for Internet.

★ REAL-TIME GPS TRACKING
Smart Maps tracks your position and updates it on the map in real-time. GPS tracking requires a device with GPS (iPhone or iPad 3G). If you have an iPod or iPad without GPS, you will need a WiFi connection to determine your location.

★ OFFLINE GUIDE
Browse through sights, museums, restaurants, shops, hotels, parks, railway & subway stations and more. Finding the point of interest closest to you is a tap away.

★ 2 IN 1: UNIVERSAL APP
Smart Maps works just as good on an iPad as it does on an iPhone or an iPod. If you dont have an iPad you should buy one just to see how amazing Smart Maps are looking on this device :)

★ DISCOVER PLACES AROUND YOU
Smart Maps will scan an area of 1 km around your location and it will display the points of interest within that area. Its a very convenient way to discover a new city or to find out new locations in your home town. The classic gesture - "Pull down to refresh" - makes this feature a pleasure to use.

★ OFFLINE SEARCH
As you begin to type, a list with the proposed results will appear. You can search for streets, landmarks, parks, attractions, museums and much more!

★ RETINA GRAPHICS
Looks great on devices with Retina display.

★ COMPASS
See the direction youre heading (available only if your device has compass support).

★ AUTO-LOCK
Want to keep the screen always lit? Theres an option within the app for that.

★ BOOKMARKS
Save your favorite locations with just a tap.

★ ADVANCED MAP FEATURES
- Scale display (using the metric or the English system)
- Hold your finger on the map for 2 seconds to drop a pin
- Shake your device to remove all red pins
- Distance computing: see the distance to each point of interest

★ OFFLINE HELP
Got a question? Theres a 99% chance you will find the answer in the offline help :)


Unlike other offline apps, Smart Maps covers a very large city area. We recommend using iTunes or a reliable WiFi connection when installing, due to the large apps size.

Thank you for downloading Smart Maps!

Pros and cons of Smart Maps - Stockholm app for iPhone and iPad

Smart Maps - Stockholm app good for

I have downloaded and used 5 similar program. This is best in class. I used it when I was in Stockholm. Program runs very fast and finds satellites easily. Recommendations are perfect. It has very user friendly interface both iPad and iPhone. As a summary, it is best in class
Nice map. The map screen kindly has very little screen real estate taken up by non-map items. (unlike other map apps Ive seen). Functionality for annotations/bookmarks would be nice.
Helped a lot on a recent trip to Stockholm Things that could have been better: * nagged me to review it while I didnt have a data connection (if I did have data service I wouldnt have been using an offline map app!) * would be great if it had an overlay with transit lines by color/name. Stations and lines are on the map, but I kept switching between this and another transit-map app when figuring out how to get places
Worked like a charm. Might be nice to have a brief description of popular places. Its hard to guess with just the name.
I thought Id try this at the start of our week in Stockholm and Im glad I did. The beauty of it is that it works offline. Data charges are really expensive overseas, if you can even get it to work. It was so helpful to have an interactive map. It refreshed quickly. My only complaint is that there is no basic information about the sights or restaurants. Without a data connection its impossible to get that info, so it would be nice to have a very brief description of each place within the app, particularly for users who dont know Swedish. Still, it enhanced our trip and made it easier. Thanks!

Some bad moments

Cant handle åäö, and does not seem to contain any street numbers what so ever. Ill be trying something else.
I tried this App 3 days in Stockholm. Now I think, the money was for nothing. - Stockholm Arlnda Airport is not in the map (map range is too small) - I had some problems to find my current position - There is no navigation function, so in my opinion the program is useless.
This app only show me a portion of a map. The map is of some other country. It does not give me any searches. It is useless.
