I love traveling with my UlmonPro app. I can download a whole country or city map and never worry about needing or using data or wifi as I track my position. I have used Ulmon in Africa, Europe, South America, India and even Bhutan. I am excited to try Mapless as I am leaving soon for 2 months in Thailand, including 15 days of hotel quarantine.
BTW my grandchild in Thailand loves Surfer Dude. The fabulously low rates now at resorts allow great long weekends at the beach.

Great to know! Thanks for sharing and creating such an incredible app. Will talk about it next week on Leo Laporte’s The Tech Guy so get ready for some downloads

One strategy my wife and I used, she would enter our destination on Google Maps, I would enter it on Mapless. She would look at points of interest nearby that we might want to detour to while I always had a bearing of the correct direction and ETA to our intended destination. To your point, Google Maps can be confusing and lag when walking whereas Mapless always keeps you headed in the right direction. This was especially helpful in Venice which I found especially challenging to find my bearings. Side note, I downloaded this app from a previous recommendation from Johnny (thank you). I got it for free but would gladly pay the $3 for it.

Thank you for mentioning it and writing about it.

There’s a big new update coming out soon, with Apple Watch support and lots of other new enhancements. I don’t have a specific release date but sometime within the next month is a pretty good guess.

To answer the questions that were asked in the comments:

1/ Sadly, no Android version is available and I’m not aware of any other similar Android apps. I’ve had a few requests and I’d love to make one, but I also want to make a really good app and sometimes that takes more time… stay tuned!

2/ “Dropping a pin” or marking your current location so you can easily get back to it is a feature that several people have requested. I’m not sure if it’ll make it in the next update, but it’s certainly something I’d like to add soon.

3/ Yes, Mapless works pretty much anywhere in the world. It uses data provided by Apple, which includes a variety of sources. The main source seems to be Yelp, which has global coverage.

I am especially excited about the Watch version because it lets you avoid looking like a tourist staring at your phone all the time while walking. ? The direction and the compass work surprisingly well on the Watch and it’s very intuitive.

An absolutely invaluable app!

To the Android users complaining that is not available…get an iPhone!
