Maps+ extinde functionalitatea aplicatiei Maps

Maps+ este o noua aplicatie lansata in AppStore care extinde functionalitatea aplicatiei native Maps din iOS. Noua aplicatie aduce utilizatorilor o serie de functii care lipsesc in iOS insa care pentru unii nu se vor dovedi a fi chiar atat de utile. Aplicatia ne permite sa setam o alarma care suna atunci cand ajungem la o locatie, avem totodata posibilitatea de a face un log cu locatiile noastre pe harta dar si de a le edita sau trimite pe Twitter si in final avem posibilitatea de a importa locatii direct din browserul Safari. Maps+ incearca sa extinda functionalitatea aplicatiei Maps insa desi versiunea de baza a aplicatiei este gratuita, unele optiuni necesita cumparate.

Dezvoltatorul a inclus posibilitatea de a debloca anumite functii insa deblocarea costa 2.39€ si se face prin in-app purchase deci va trebui sa cumparati functiile daca le doriti. In mare avem aplicatia Maps dar mult imbunatatita insa daca pretul deblocarii tuturor optiunilor era de doar 0.79€ atunci cred ca aplicatia ar fi avut mai mult succes.

Iata toate functiile Maps+ :

• Browse Google’s online maps: standard, satellite, hybrid and terrain. Swipe with 3 fingers up/down on the map to change quickly between the map types.
• Find out and continuously follow where you are. Tap on your current location to get more info about your location fix: coordinates, horizontal accuracy, altitude and vertical accuracy (available on devices with GPS).
• Get online route directions with alternatives. Add transit points to your routes and get bicycling directions (US only), too.
• Record and edit GPS tracks (available on devices with GPS).
• Use location based alarms to remind yourself of tasks that are location specific (e.g. to get off at a train station).
• If your device supports multitasking then GPS track recording and alarm monitoring works while the app runs in the background, too. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
• Find out what people tweet around you and engage with them in a conversation. Log in to Twitter to view your friends’ tweets on the map.
• Add labels to your bookmarks (alarms, pins, routes, tracks).
• Export your bookmarks (alarms, pins, tracks) to GPX via mail or iTunes.
• Import bookmarks by opening a GPX file with Maps+ using Safari, Mail or any other app that supports quick look.
• Link to alarms and pins. Open these links on your device to add them to your bookmarks in Maps+. Sample link: http://mapspl.us/pin?coordinates=37.331966,122.030232&name=Apple
• Simple and clean user interface: all features can be accessed via 1 button. You can put buttons on the map for those features that you use frequently.
