PROSUPPPREMSUPP

Came across this on HUKD, thought it might be appreciated here too :)

Supposdely a great app to save on expensive mobile charges if you're lost abroad for example. Premium version is better than Pro version.

Steps to get the free pro or premium version:
1) Download the standard version of the app from the Google Play Store
2) Open the app. From the menu, select "Redeem a code"
3) Enter the code PROSUPP (for pro version) or PREMSUPP (for premium version - you must manually enter these codes, do not copy and paste!
4) You should now have pro access to the app for free

About the app:
▶ IN-DEPTH CONTENT: Unlike other offline map apps, CityMaps2Go features photos as well as tips and comprehensive in-depth info for millions of places.
▶ WORLDWIDE COVERAGE: CityMaps2Go covers the whole world. More than 150 countries, 60000 destinations, and 50 million places!!
▶ WORKS OFFLINE: CityMaps2Go works online and offline. Saving you from data roaming charges in foreign cities or connectivity problems in national parks.
▶ PLAN TRIPS: Remember and save all the places you would like to visit. Create lists and have your travel ideas ready when you need them.
▶ DETAILED MAPS: Explore your saves on a detailed worldwide map. Navigate streets, footpaths, and bikeways wherever you are.

Hope this helps someone (stuck in the middle of nowhere)!

Whilst I support competition, does this do anything google maps can’t?

  I was going to say "be used offline", but really, you can download Maps for Google Maps in advance too, which I'd imagine you'd have to do on this anyway.. so good question.

    On further research it looks to use mapbox as the mapping solution. Occasionally this is more up to date than Google, and is pretty nice although I already use Gaia to download MapBox layers. The additional POI looks okay, as is the ability to create lists, but Google appears better in both cases. Perhaps it’s nice to have different things highlighted for complementary research, or just an alternative map for those with only Google Maps.

    When I travelled to Japan in 2018, google maps wouldn't allow offline map saving there. It seems there are some region restrictions.
    
    So I had to use a local SIM or pocket wifi to use google maps in Japan.

I use maps.me while travelling offline. Is this better? Hadn’t even heard of it before…
- Panzah on 13/01/2020 - 16:50
  
  Same here. Maps.me has navigation, this does not. Personally found maps.me great when travelling overseas and needing navigation to places. Just download map before you go and you're all set.
  I'm not sure what the additional benefit is on this app. Maybe they have more 'places' listed?

  They all get their info from somewhere, and there will be delays and/or errors at times.
  
  I've corrected plenty of Google Maps stuff. I work in greenfield estates, before/during/after construction. It's would be a full time (unpaid) job, updating maps manually.

I noticed after installing that it only asked about sharing location info with ulam (optional slider) but once setup, in the settings there is an extra slider for information usage tracking that was already "ON" in my case.

Just something the OzBargain community might want to be aware of, I know I don't like sharing (my information) unless I have to. Haha

        @Salmando: Assanges cat says
        
        GPSs use free satellites.
        Offline is reference to mobile towers.
        
        Which is untrue because Tomtom is both offline AND using gps.
        
        quarrymaster on 13/01/2020 - 12:22
        
        @lostn:
        
        Which is untrue because TomTom is both offline AND using gps.
        
        Offline just refers to not having to download maps in real time. When your phone is out of Wi-Fi range, it may attempt to download maps via cellular connection. TomTom devices usually have maps already preloaded.
        
        Don't think you could (easily) turn off GPS on your phone, and it's ok to have it on as it'll still tell you where you are regardless if the maps had been downloaded.
        
        So yes, the phone like your TomTom, can both be "offline" and use GPS.

  I got signup failed once. Then I was reading a few comments here for a few minutes and went back to the signup and tried it again (didn't change any details, just left them how they were after it failed first time) and it worked. Got a verification email sent. So maybe it is because so many people are tyring to do it all at the same time. Also, I had not redeemed a code for pro/premium version first. I did that after I was able to sign up (not sure if that makes a difference).

      Premium: pro features, plus customizable map colors, shapes, and points.

Much easier way without having to even download the app:

Go to https://app.citymaps2go.com/

Sign up, you will be shown the redeem page

Copy/Paste PREMSUPP into the field and hit redeem

Premium tied to account, login on device whenever and premium will be there.
