PD Maps Worldwide Edition Reviews

Agree secret map without key is apt description. Either has very limited functions, or very non-intuitive how to use them, or both. The function to locate me works, & map of area in uk and europe appears as a standard google type map, but the only way i can find to create a route is using drop pins, meaning i have to use another map to find locations i dont already know location of - must be able to search by text too. It also could not do a route from Aviano Italy to Vienna Austria, and other major cities. No way to send feedback from within PDMapsWorldwideEdition . Have tried several map apps since Apple bombed with their ios6 map app and none work adequately on their own to even get the basic google maps functionality (which had lots of room for improvement still but overall far better than any others yet).

This is an app that does something no other app does!!! It can download google maps for offline viewing! Besides for a few quirks and minor problems it's actually a very advanced and useful app. I paid for the upgrade in order to download the maps of cities that I'm visiting overseas(I'm not rich enough to get a data plan with roaming overseas) and so far it's working. I think the people that are complaining just don't know how to use it but believe me, if you do learn how to use it it's worth the $3 of you visit places where you won't have data.

Offline maps are a great feature. Now come the "but"s. First, it's not optimized for retina on iPad 4. Tiny letters are just impossible to read. It needs to have x2 or even x4 zoom in the options or something.

Second, it doesn't create routes any more (Google is set as route provider). Interfaces must have changed. PDMapsWorldwideEdition needs upgrade!

The maps are clear and easy to use. The whole world is available in several map formats. I think it will be very helpful on my next trip to Europe so I only have to take my iPad mini instead of lots of paper maps. I hit the $ to see what it was and was given several opportunities to cancel. I wasn't charged. Although I think may go ahead and pay the $2.99 so I can try out the offline feature.

The most frustrating app I ever wasted 2.99 on (yes, I bit on the premium). I should have known when the "search" example in the useless manual was to find Starbucks. Why would I need an app to find a Starbucks? The search could not find a single address I entered. The only thing it could locate was my current location. Three bucks to find out where I am? I bought PDMapsWorldwideEdition for the offline mode so that I could save my route and call it up while traveling without wi-fi. That would be really great if it worked.

Nice maps when working, installed on itouch with wifi only and suddenly it wouldn't load maps anymore. Had to uninstall it and reinstall from pc.

Currently I work in an area where there are NO MAPS, NO INTERNET, no nothing. The only way to navigate for me is PDMapsWorldwideEdition - I cached google's satelite view for the whole area and now always have it with me in offline mode. Compared to having no gps navigator at all - this is superb. A+

Used to be an OK app as it can display different maps, particularly traffic data from different map providers. Now they require "premium membership" to display traffic, and pops up a reminder every time I start/restart PDMapsWorldwideEdition . So I stopped using it. Plenty of good free map/traffic/routing apps.

I agree that the learning curve is steep, and the UI is not intuitive enough.

Stinks is a nice word the real word starts with the s. it always tells me I need to chose another provider when I try to get a route. What a piece of junk. The WORST 2.99 I have ever spent and that was an accident. Do not press the $ in the corner it will charge you without asking even though PDMapsWorldwideEdition help says it will not. Just garbage. If I could rate it a zero I would. It's worse then the new Apple maps and that is hard to do.

This is a scam to still your money..I don't know how the heck I was charge 2.99. Seriously. Where does PDMapsWorldwideEdition description says that they will charge..you should be ashamed.,this is how you are going to make business. I don't think you are going to get very far. People don't like to be scam.
Very bad..how I should rate this bull..

PDMapsWorldwideEdition could be a great app but needs work.
If all you want to do is have an offline map PDMapsWorldwideEdition may work for you. The rest of PDMapsWorldwideEdition is clunky and annoying having to go back and forth after you figure out how to operate PDMapsWorldwideEdition.

Really, you need to add it!
PDMapsWorldwideEdition is otherwise great. I love the offline feature and the pure feel of PDMapsWorldwideEdition . Really needs voice over though.

This version is not compatible with ios 8, i can't zoom and pan the map any more, please fix it ASAP

I can't spend more money. I didn't know what the $ thing was so I wanted to see. Know I have to pay money!! I even hit no!! If you are reading this and you are trying to decide to get it. Don't get it or make the mistake I made. I don't want to give it stars but I have to. GET " google maps "OR "google earth" THEY ARE FREE.

This map app is great. I'm using it in Costa Rica and loving it.

Only one problem is that the labels look great on my iPhone 4S but are way too small too read on my iPad 3.

Please increase the text on the maps for the iPad 3 just like you did for the iPhone 4.

Gracias!

And twice i m click that $ sign, cancel the inapp purchase, but it still writing to me that sent request to appstore anyway. Hope not to loose money for that.
On iphone 4 it looks not very good because it optimized for lower resolution screens.

Despit somewhat erratic operation, it mosyly does what needs to be done. Then after a few days test driving, a window pops up informing me that only premium users are allowed to view traffic data. If you need traffic data on the cheap, PDMapsWorldwideEdition isn't it.

It'll help you go where u need to be.

Professional chauffeur. Best app for choosing fastest route. Safest way to travel. Bravo.

This is a sorry app that doesn't deserve a star. Using it is like trying to use a dinosaur. It's as intuitive as the original WIndows was or the new one is. Such apps shouldn''t be allowed.
