Smart Maps tracks your position and updates it on the map in real-time. GPS tracking requires a device with GPS (iPhone or iPad 3G). If you have an iPod or iPad without GPS, you will need a WiFi connection to determine your location.

Smart Maps works just as good on an iPad as it does on an iPhone or an iPod. If you dont have an iPad you should buy one just to see how amazing Smart Maps are looking on this device :)
★ DISCOVER PLACES AROUND YOU
Smart Maps will scan an area of 1 km around your location and it will display the points of interest within that area. Its a very convenient way to discover a new city or to find out new locations in your home town. The classic gesture - "Pull down to refresh" - makes this feature a pleasure to use.
★ OFFLINE SEARCH
As you begin to type, a list with the proposed results will appear. You can search for streets, landmarks, parks, attractions, museums and much more!
★ RETINA GRAPHICS
Looks great on devices with Retina display.
★ COMPASS
See the direction youre heading (available only if your device has compass support).
★ AUTO-LOCK
Want to keep the screen always lit? Theres an option within the app for that.

★ OFFLINE HELP
Got a question? Theres a 99% chance you will find the answer in the offline help :)
Unlike other offline apps, Smart Maps covers a very large city area. We recommend using iTunes or a reliable WiFi connection when installing, due to the large apps size.

Latest reviews of Smart Maps - Edinburgh app for iPhone and iPad
il prezzo indicato è di 0,79c (11-Jan-2011) ma addebitano 1 euro. Non che faccia molta differenza ma le funzioni sono davvero scarsine. La qualità della mappa è migliore di altre app (gratuite) ma vorrei che fosse possibile definire almeno una partenza+destinazione con tracciatura del percorso pedonale o automobilistico. Le icone della legenda si vedono solo a forte ingrandimento e tutte insieme, non è possibile scremarle per tipologia. I "preferiti" si possono rimuovere dalla mappa o dallelenco ma i "pins" di una ricerca generica non si spengono se non si effettua unaltra ricerca, quindi la mappa senza pins non si riesce a vederla! È apprezzabile la consultazione "off-line" ma, per il resto, limpressione è di forte superficialità. Si trova di meglio tra le free-apps. The price is of 0.79 c (11-Jan-2011) but charge 1 euro. Not that it makes much difference but the functions are very scarce. The quality of the map is better than other app (free), but I wish it were possible to define at least one departure + target tracing with pedestrian or vehicle route. The icons on the map are only seen at high magnification, and all together, you can not skim by type. The "favorites" can be removed from the map or the list but the "pins" of a general search does not turn off until you do not make another search, so you can not see the map without pins! It is appreciate to consult off-line but the general impression is of great superficiality. Its possible find something better in the free-apps.
There appears to be no way to add specific addresses into your bookmarks, like you can in similar apps, thus rendering this one useless!
