The Broads Maps Offline

From the producers of GB Maps (featured in Ordnance Survey's OS OpenData innovative application showcase)

Beautifully detailed maps supplied by Ordnance Survey.

The Broads Maps provides a useful offline (no mobile signal required) mapping reference and navigation aid whilst travelling throughout the Norfolk and Suffolk Broads by footpath, road, rail, canal, lake and river.  Intuitive route and waypoint management features are implemented enabling creation, modification, deletion, import and export of routes. A powerful offline search facility can locate places, roads, post codes and hills within the region.  Worldwide online Apple Maps (Standard, Satellite and Hybrid) with map features that users are used to are available on both offline and online maps as well as providing 3D buildings on Apple maps (where available).
