This is a highly rated second update to this very popular navigational app for either the iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad. We will be writing our full review shortly but for the moment Skobbler the developers behind this incredible app have kindly given us some promo codes for our loyal readers.
If you would like to try this out out for free, just retweet this post and then tell us what you love most about TheAppWhisperer.com. We’ll then send you a promo code right away.
Take a look at the details of what version 2.0 of ForeverMap now includes – you’ll love it…
Offline maps
The most significant innovation is the facility allowing the user to install and uninstall individual countries. This means you can use ForeverMap much more flexibly and always find the right balance between the size of the installation and the map material of interest to you. You just need to download the country maps that you want to use in ForeverMap once after the update by connecting your device to a WiFi network. It is possible to install and uninstall the countries as often as you like, without limitations. The installed maps can then be used offline without restriction as in the earlier version.
Zooming and Map Display
The reloading and zooming of maps in this update is now 70% faster than the previous version. Street names are far more frequently shown too, this feature comes into its own if you are using it on foot.
Routes
The route calculation is more than 50% faster, Skobbler have also simplified the route entry. They are also making further significant improvements in this area and these will be released in a future update.
IdeaLog
There is a new section in Version 2 of ForeverMap, it is called the IdeaLog function. It allows the user to feedback directly to Skobbler to help them keep one step ahead of the competition as far as future development and ideas are concerned.
iOS Compatibility
This is a universal app, meaning that once downloaded it will work on either the iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad without any adjustment or additional expense.
This is a very good app and you can try it for free just by responding and retweeting this post.
Joanne Carter, creator of the world’s most popular mobile photography and art website— TheAppWhisperer.com— TheAppWhisperer platform has been a pivotal cyberspace for mobile artists of all abilities to learn about, to explore, to celebrate and to share mobile artworks. Joanne’s compassion, inclusivity, and humility are hallmarks in all that she does, and is particularly evident in the platform she has built. In her words, “We all have the potential to remove ourselves from the centre of any circle and to expand a sphere of compassion outward; to include everyone interested in mobile art, ensuring every artist is within reach”, she has said.
Promotion of mobile artists and the art form as a primary medium in today’s art world, has become her life’s focus. She has presented lectures bolstering mobile artists and their art from as far away as the Museum of Art in Seoul, South Korea to closer to her home in the UK at Focus on Imaging. Her experience as a jurist for mobile art competitions includes: Portugal, Canada, US, S Korea, UK and Italy. And her travels pioneering the breadth of mobile art includes key events in: Frankfurt, Naples, Amalfi Coast, Paris, Brazil, London.
Pioneering the world’s first mobile art online gallery - TheAppWhispererPrintSales.com has extended her reach even further, shipping from London, UK to clients in the US, Europe and The Far East to a global group of collectors looking for exclusive art to hang in their homes and offices. The online gallery specialises in prints for discerning collectors of unique, previously unseen signed limited edition art.
Her journey towards becoming The App Whisperer, includes (but is not limited to) working for a paparazzi photo agency for several years and as a deputy editor for a photo print magazine. Her own freelance photographic journalistic work is also widely acclaimed. She has been published extensively both within the UK and the US in national and international titles. These include The Times, The Sunday Times, The Guardian, Popular Photography & Imaging, dpreview, NikonPro, Which? and more recently with the BBC as a Contributor, Columnist at Vogue Italia and Contributing Editor at LensCulture. Her professional photography has also been widely exhibited throughout Europe, including Italy, Portugal and the UK.
She is currently writing several books, all related to mobile art and is always open to requests for new commissions for either writing or photography projects or a combination of both. Please contact her at: [email protected]
If I had known there were offline maps now for iphone I would have bought it a long time ago. The main reason I waited so long is that I didn’t want to pay for a data plan as I can get by using wifi when I need to. But I want to be able to load maps offline without having to pay for each city one at a time which was the only option I had seen before this. So what I love about your site is that I found this app because of you. Offline maps was the main reason I had been thinking of going for a different phone until I got a good deal on this iphone. Thanks a lot!
Yes there are some wonderful map apps available – this particular app only works in the UK, can I just check whether you are a UK or US resident please? Best wishes Joanne
I’m from Canada which is what my itunes is set to. But I’m living in Paris France right now. Is it possible to just change my location download the app and then change it back?
