It's also very important that the app can read pre-downloaded maps when offline. Besides, it has many useful features for those people that are not very good at orienting. The app shows your current position on the map, can save waypoints and locations, for example, your car or your hotel location. <br /> https://itunes.apple.com/app/spyglass/id332639548?mt=8&at=11lLc7&ct=cAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12848131916209622775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-87973945873999534192015-05-24T19:19:34.283-04:002015-05-24T19:19:34.283-04:00i eliminated Google Maps and now have Waze.
