I really like maps.me. My only annoyance so far was last week when it was keeping my phone awake for 8h and draining my battery rather quickly w/o actually having the phone open or the app in the foreground (or any navigation going on).



I did not have that problem, though navigation apps in general kill my battery.

I think the only feature I wish it had, which might be in there now, is to export the places I marked as a favorite to something such as CSV or JSON.


It can, it exports compressed kmz files, and imports kml and kmz. I used it to import bookmarks from a custom-made personal Google map.


Awesome. Thanks for the info!


I noticed that it will keep the location services/GPS running even if the app is backgrounded, at least on Android. If you kill the app that helps.
