Google is the "always online" company. So MapQuest should be the anti-Google: make a good, free offline maps app. All of the ones I've tried (on Android, at least) either had too little detail or a cumbersome user interface. But all of them were promoted to me directly by word-of-mouth. Make a great one, and people will spread it around. Become the fanatic's map app. The MapQuest brand could have the perfect retro-niche appeal for this.
- nine_k 11y agoHave you tried OsmAnd? Rather nice, free / open data, offline.
- eli 11y agoOsmAnd is pretty good, but it's freemium. You only get 10 dowbloads.
- karussell 11y agoIt is not freemium! It is open source and uses open data! BTW: The deployment in google play is freemium but there are other storages without that restriction
- eli 11y agoIt's open source and open data, but at least on Android it ain't free. (And I'm OK with that) I guess I could build it myself from source and side load it? I'd rather just pay them the $6. It's a nice app.
- jedmeyers 11y agoHave you tried HERE maps?
- mladen5 11y agoHERE maps are very nice, they are Nokia/Microsoft and app is very polished on Android. Only thing is Google Maps have slightly better routing options.
