Lord Howe Island offline map

Offline map of the Lord Howe Island group for tourist visitors. Download the app before you go (limited Internet on the island and no mobile phone coverage). The map runs completely on your device; zoomable map, routing, searching, everything. It does not use your data connection at all. Switch your phone function off if you want to.

No ads. All features fully functional, no "in store purchases" required.

The map is based on OpenStreetMap data, http://www.openstreetmap.org.

What is good: Roads, main trails, airports, hotels, things to do and see appear very well mapped. Most buildings are mapped.

What is not so good: Some tracks and service roads are missing or only provisionally mapped from aerial imagery. You can help improve it by becoming an OpenStreetMap contributor. We will publish app updates with new information.

Terrain is shown on the map, and can be turned on or off.

You can:

* find out where you are, if you have GPS.

* show a route between any place for motor vehicle, foot or bicycle; even without a GPS device.

* display simple turn-by-turn navigation [*].

* search for places

* display gazetteer lists of commonly needed places like hotels, eating places, shops, banks, things to see and do, golf courses, medical facilities. Show how to get there from your current location.

* bookmark places like your hotel for easy return navigation.

* * Navigation will show you an indicative route and can be configured for car, bicycle or foot. The developers provide it without any guarantee that it is always correct. For example, OpenStreetMap data does not always have turn restrictions - places where it is illegal to turn. Use with care and above all look out for and obey road signs.

We hope it does not happen to you but: Like most small developers, we cannot test a wide variety of phones and tablets. If you have trouble running the application, do email us and we will try to help and/or refund you.
