Memory-Map Android app 

If you're serious about your outdoor adventures, you'll appreciate this no frills full featured navigation app.

The Memory-Map app turns your android phone or tablet into an outdoor GPS and allows you to navigate with 4WD maps, Topo maps or Marine charts without the need for maintaining a phone signal. 

How it works

First get the app. Curently the beta (pre release) verion is available here. Ultimatly it will be available from the Android Market for FREE as soon as it's formaly released.

Works with Android v2.2 and above running ARM architecture. That's most current devices but please test before making any purchases dependent on compatibility. (ARM means the design of the microprocessor)

Maps are downloaded on-the-fly or copied from your PC in advance. Once the app and maps are loaded to the device, cellular network coverage or internet connection is not required for real time GPS navigation.

The Digital Map Shop (DMS) is the in-app portal to 1000s of maps worldwide. You can either browse the maps directly in the app  (and this is a good way to sample some maps) or if you know what you want, it’s often easier to grab a “Packaged Download” from the DMS web pages and copy all the map files on bulk to the app.
See the Digital Map Shop pages for more info on this.

All Memory-Map format maps, including the ones supplied on DVD can be used on your Android device. If you have maps in other formats, it is generally possible to convert them using the PC app for usewith the Android app. See using other map formats for info.

Although the Android app is designed to be used as a standalone GPS navigator, best results are achieved when used in conjunction with Memory-Map on your PC (free download) for planning, printing and loading up maps, waypoints and routes to the app.

• Intuitive design
