MapPocket on iTunes

What's New in MapPocket 2.7:

If you develop for iOS, you probably read about "frictions" between Apple and DropBox (if not, just Google DropBox API reject).  Even if you are not using DropBox, you may want to pay attention to this.... read more

Amazingly enough, I was not able to find straightforward instructions on how to build both FULL and LITE versions of the same iOS app with XCode 4.x.  It did not took much time to figure out. Still, this blog post may save you some grief.

What's New in Version 2.4:

• GPS Tracking in on-line and off-line modes (distance/avg speed/altitude) - push and hold GPS button to activate,
• Chinese localization (traditional and simplified),
• Map Language selector

NOTE: with MapPocket you record your own maps - no additional purchases necessary.

MapPocket belongs to the off-line maps subcategory of Travel/Navigation category on iTunes Store.

Most apps in this category use a single map source. However, MapPocket allows to use one of four: Google, Mapquest, Bing or OpenStreetMap.org. Moreover, there are even fewer apps in the off-line maps category that provide access to Google maps.

What's New in Version 2.3

• Multi-zoom level recording is fully implemented. Now it is possible to save map tiles for up to 6 different zoom levels.

So far my experience with the Apple App Store (both mobile and desktop) was rather uneventful. I submitted my first iPhone app 18 months ago. I keep submitting either new app versions or new apps once or twice a month since then. So far I was rejected 4 times (none were terminal).

The new version of MapPocket (v.2.2) is available on iTunes Store.
