RouteBuddy Atlas, the off-line mapping app for iPhone has been updated to v1.1.
This free app allows you to view topographic mapping from the USGS and Ordnance Survey at scales from 1:50k to 1:25k and uses a unique and superbly simple method of installing map files which allows drag’n'drop between computer and iPhone regardless of your OS.
We covered the original release on August 17th here but this update includes numerous bug fixes and feature enhancements including waypoints and tracks.
- Waypoints can be added individually on the device
- The current track is now visible on all maps
- Added ability to share waypoint locations via email
- Online maps now cache up to 10,000 tiles
- Waypoints can be added from imported gpx or kml files
- Phone calls and messages no longer interrupt tracking
- Smoother dragging of maps, and faster tile loading
- Added dop to gpx files written out for tracks
- Added option to hide demo maps
- Added option to turn off caches
- Added option to turn off network data access
RouteBuddy Atlas uses the iPhone GPS and if available, the 3GS compass to display your position and heading. Tracks created using Atlas can be exported to Mac or PC for use in Google Earth or the RouteBuddy desktop application.
Maps for use with RouteBuddy Atlas can be purchased from the RouteBuddy store.
