Frequently asked questions
Are map downloads free?
Two free maps downloads are included (five if you upgraded from the previous OffMaps). Additional downloads cost 0.99$/0,79€ for three maps. You can also purchase a map flat rate for a one-time payment which is transferable between devices (users of the flat rate in OffMaps 1 get the new one at a special price). We update our maps frequently (about every two weeks) and serve updates for free. We hope for your understanding that we need to cover our server costs in order to continue to provide reliable updates and maps.
Are Wikipedia city guides free?
Yes, once you have downloaded a map you can download the corresponding Wikipedia content for free. The Wikipedia content contains the most important 200 articles about a region or city that are geo-referenced along with all images. You can currently pick between German and English.
How often do you update maps?
We update our maps regularly depending on the amount of changes in the area. We aim to provide updates every two weeks for all important regions.
How do I transfer the flatrate to a new iOS device?
Simply open the Downloads tab of OffMaps' map store and tap the "... View account" button. At the bottom you will find a button labelled "Restore Flatrate". Tap this button and then enter your iTunes Account and password that you used when you initially bought the flatrate.
Is it fair to charge for free data?
We do not charge for the data, but for the service we provide around it. We clean the data and leverage its full potential from removing unneeded information via linked addresses with streets to providing a public transport layer. We also need money to feed the hamsters in our server farm treadmills. If you want to pay once and not be bothered again, try our flatrate. We thank you for your ongoing support.
