Magic Earth Navigation & Maps app good for
Since I got this App I use it regularly. Its absolutely great. I have some minor suggestions though:
- the delay announcement is a bit annoying. Delays are announced way to often and for to short delay
- navigation with the Apple Watch isnt useful at all. Tried it on my bike and the direction announcement isnt very helpful. Also Magic Earth stops the WatchOS App and goes back the Phone navigation all the time.
Hope you can fix this. Your App is great but fixing that would make it even better.
thank you for most detailed and most updated map of iran..i have never seen such a detailed and updated map of iran among tons of famous paid navigation apps!!..please continue your support and update for iran map...i appreciate you.
You should remove that "magnifier-cloud" icon from search bar, because its ugly and confusing, or just change it to simple magnifier icon like its in Spotlight. And I still hope to see some kind of simple widget, as soon as possible.
Thanks!
I think that Magic Earth is still the best navigation app in the market. Ive made abut 30.000 km on two seasons on my motorbike using this app. Its absolutely the best. But Im afraid about future of this app :( Last changes gives a lot of useless options (by me of course) and applicatnion becomes more heavy and slowly. The simplicity and lightweight was the main strenght of this apps ! Please do not destroy this fantastic product by adding a lot new features and making this more heavy and slowly.
Propositions of improvements:
- MAP MODE should be always 2D and North Up oriented. Do you really know people who using map in 3D mode or not North up oriented ? :) If You think that is not good idea please add possibility of this orientation in settings menu for example: "Use always 2D and North Up in map mode".
- COLOURED TRAFFIC LANES at the top of the screen. GREEN - Proper Lane, RED - Wrong Lane (like in Automapa). Greyed lanes are not enough visible.
- BEEP as additional type of voice commands - just very loudly "beep" before meneuver. When Im using this navigation on motorbike, voice command are not recognizable but very loudly "beep" sound could be fantastic solution when I neeed make any maneuver.
- Left and Right Bottom Corner Features (on navigation screen) could be moved to the options menu. Its no good idea too keep any buttons on map screen because its easy to touch it accidentally.
Anyway thanks for this fantastic app and please do not kill this by making more heavy and slowly.
Thanks also for positive changes like splitting maps on small parts and adding more "via" points.

App is almost perfect but would be nice to see some iOS 10 widgets for quicker and easier access. Hope widgets will be added soon!
EDIT: Yeah, Force Touch is a nice little feature but I mean to access it as quick as possible. So, wake up my iPhone, swipe for widgets and for example tap on "Nearby Gas Stations" then unlock it and see all needed results. Because without it, I need to search my home screen for the Magic Earth app, and it happens all the time. In the car is difficult sometimes. So, widgets would be best for easier access. Anyway, thanks for quick reply!
Some bad moments
Trying out this app I used my home address and that of my sister in Indiana. Showed a trip distance of 754 miles...Im in Idaho...You do the math. Plus it couldnt find a good, known address/street and doesnt even list the city that address/street is in, although it does have a map of the state in question...and its a good sized city in that state.
Not sre Id trust this app to get me across the street, let alone cross country.
Ill stick with my old standby and much better travel app. ... Waze out!!
This app will only locate an address that it wants to locate, not the address you feed it. I entered Turnersville, NJ and fought the app for 10 minutes while it rooted itself in Budapest. It is not friendly AT ALL.
No chance to use navigation because of constant NO GPS POSITION error when I press start. GPS is on and functional on my phone.
Does not work with wifi or external gps on iPad
Have no problems with other off line maps But this app does not show my position no matter what I try
POS wasted an hour downloading two states then failed first time i tried to route from my position or home to a new address -app kept saying "cannot route, check waypoints". No mayter what addresses i tried it failed. It gets a negative 5 stars...stay with google maos abd forget these third party pooper expirements!
As a long tome Garmin User, I looked for a comparable navigation app that would offer what I was accostomed to with Garmin (a Stand Alone Nuvi Device), then I came across this app after trying a a handful of others.
This is an excellent navigation app, period, it has a premium feel to it and has proven very accurate as well as easy to use.
I reccomend it!!
