The Map - Amsterdam App Reviews

What else could you need? Plus saves on the roaming fees big time

Great little app, but the description led me to believe it was a little more user friendly than it is. I still dont know how to find ATMs. And without money, I cant do much. Where are the street names? None of the smaller streets are named, which is ridiculous for a walking/bicycling city. Did the tourist bureau actually put this together or did they outsource it? In any case, it is impossible to zoom into a useful level for walking in Amsterdam. For me, this was a total waste of money. The offline maps are the exact reason I bought the app.

This app was so useful during our recent trip to Amsterdam. This was our first time visiting and the app was indispensable for getting around the city. We didnt have cell service and free wi-fi was spotty at best. The fact that this app doesnt require any data connection to navigate is one of its top merits. I loved that there was a directional arrow at our GPS location to tell us which way we were headed - a must on Amsterdams winding streets! Many of our planned destinations were in the app and some that we didnt know about. I loved that you could store a waypoint to get back to things again. Thats the only way I could have gotten back to some stores and other places I wanted to re-visit. As a GIS professional, I really like the cartography and accuracy of the map, too! A few suggestions for improvements: It would be great to have more restaurants listed. We visited at least one we found in the app and it was very good but we could have used it many more times if there were more choices. Also a listed of restaurants sorted by cuisine instead of price would be great. It would be nice to have a way to display waypoints in different colors by category and to label them on the map or at least display details as an option. Overall, a really nice app that I would definitely use again if we visit Amsterdam at a later date.

Very useful and convenient aid to walking around Amsterdam. "Lets consult the Oracle" became our answer to the question "Where are we?" No wireless or phone service but the green dot always told us where we were. Highly recommended.

This is an excellent map and the offline location worked great. I was pleased to see that, when I got to the outskirts of Amsterdam, the map went into a regional mode that, while not as detailed as in the city, still worked very well.

If youre looking for a gps enabled map for Amsterdam, get the Ulmon version. This is just a static JPEG with a shocking lack of detail. Many of the smaller streets are missing. It doesnt scale well and crashed a lot on opening. Skip this rip off.

This app is amazing! Being directionally challenged I tend to be list most of the time. This allowed me not only to see where I was but the map showed me what direction I was headed and it would move like a compass so I could pick the best option. The graphics are excellent and accurate. Best money spent in Amsterdam!

In lack of a cellphone signal, this App was my guide and the offline GPS map around beautiful Amsterdam! Never got lost!

This was very handy. Only thing missing is a search option. Great App!

Does exactly what it says. The paid version was definitely worth it. It would be nice to add a POI with a user entered title.

Works as advertised. The best Amsterdam map app.

Tried using this to find several places. This is a great app if you can fly; if not, plan on lots of extra unnecessary walking. Also said the Hermitage museum was open until 8:00 pm on Wednesdays; nope, its not. In sum there is a lot of potential for this app but it needs lots of tweaking. For example, I would like all restaurants around me as well as grocery stores.
