Italy, Europe or the whole planet. Each map is a single file the app reads straight off your phone: no server, no subscription, no expiry. Once it is on the device it works in airplane mode.

Installation

From download to map

  1. 1

    Download

    Here in the browser, or — easier — from the app: Settings ▸ Map ▸ Download maps. The download keeps going with the app closed.

  2. 2

    Import

    Settings ▸ Map ▸ Import map from file, then pick the file you downloaded. A progress bar shows how it is going; when it finishes the map appears in the list with its zoom range and size.

  3. 3

    Choose which one

    In the list you switch on the one you want to see, switch it off without deleting it, or remove it to free space. The choice survives a restart.

Check your free space before you leave. Detailed Europe is 451 MB: download it on Wi-Fi and keep about twice that free while it imports. To fly in Italy, 37 MB are enough.

Why vector maps

Free image tiles cannot be bulk-downloaded and redistributed: the licences forbid it. Vector data can, and it weighs far less: all of Italy fits in 37 MB. The style, the fonts and the icons ship inside the app, so the map knows how to draw itself with no connection.
