What is PocketMaps?
PocketMaps is an application designed to facilitate the download of maps, enabling comprehensive offline navigation. The app utilizes a process known as 'geocoding' to enable users to search for specific locations. However, it's important to note that this particular function requires an active internet connection to operate fully. Despite this, PocketMaps does offer a limited offline search capability, providing users with a degree of flexibility in their search options.
In addition to these features, PocketMaps also incorporates a sport tracking function. This feature allows users to record their routes, creating graphical data representations of variables such as speed. The application is built upon several open-source platforms, including OSM data, Mapsforge-vtm, and the Graphhopper API. These open-source resources contribute to the app's ability to provide comprehensive and detailed map data.
