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

    It would seem this App is not available in the U.S. App store. Too bad, it looks very interesting.

    Looks like a great app, and I am in the UK ! Your website is easy to use and well laid out. Thanks.

    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!

    • Joanne Carter

      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?

  • Steve Michaels

    Retweeted. I’d love a code please. The thing I love about TheAppWhisperer.com is discovering hidden gems on the app store. Thank you!
