Pocket Earth installed on your iPhone in a LifeProof case gives a waterproof map of the world in your pocket down to street level. It gives me peace of mind knowing that wherever I go, I have the entire world downloaded on my iPhone to be used in any weather conditions and without mobile phone reception.
The three ingredients:
1. iPhone
You will need a good strong Wi-Fi connection to download the entire planet and plenty of capacity on your iPhone (11GB +). Once installed, simply tap the ‘search’ function and navigate through the continents, tapping the star (should become yellow) to start downloading countries (stars turn green when downloading is complete). The map is not as detailed overall as Google Maps however Google Maps can’t be downloaded permanently. Pocket Earth uses Open Source Maps which will always be free.
Of course, doing this is pointless if you drown your phone on your first creek crossing. Wrap your life-saving device in a LifeProof case to ensure it’s working when you need it most.
Enjoy, shoot any questions below!
