Thanks for the tip, but it's not that great. Crashed before I got the world base map loaded. Sucks battery life like nothing I've ever used. Can't set the GPS to work only while the app is active, so I either go to settings to enable GPS for this app every time I use it or I have an iPad with a 1 hour battery life. Routing so slow as to be useless. Position indicator jumps around to random side roads every time I stop at a red light. 

Hopefully non-iOS versions are better.
