Magic Earth Navigation & Maps - GPS navigation & mapping

Discover the optimal path to your destination even without an internet connection. The app utilizes OpenStreetMap data and a robust search engine to provide you with the best routes for driving, cycling, hiking, and public transportation.

FAQs:

1. What operating system do I need to run Magic Earth?

You need at least iOS 15 or Android 4.4 (on some systems, Android 7.0) to run the newest Magic Earth versions.

2. Does live traffic require data/internet connection?

Yes, traffic data is live so it requires an internet connection.

Once maps, voices and map styles are downloaded, search, routing and navigation work offline, only with location/gps active (which uses the satellite GPS signal, no internet/data).

3. What are the options in Settings > Navigation > 2D/3D View?

This sets the desired map display for when you are driving:

Automatic: map switches from 2D to 3D when you drive straight at a higher speed and no turn is expected ahead, and from 3D to 2D when you approach a junction or a turn. The app also zooms out at higher driving speed and zooms in when slowing down. You can also adjust the view manually: drag with two fingers to change the tilt, pinch to change the zoom, and use the target icon in the upper right corner to return to Automatic

2D: map stays in 2D during navigation

3D: map stays in 3D during navigation

4. What map source do you use?

Magic Earth uses OpenStreetMap as map database. It is a collaborative mapping project that relies on contributions from users (just like Wikipedia etc).

5. How can I see my position (where I am) on the map?

The GPS/Location signal is from the satellites (has nothing to do with internet, data can be turned off) and is used for navigation, to get your position on the map. You cannot navigate without the satellite GPS/Location signal, so please make sure that GPS/Location is turned on in your phone settings, and Magic Earth has GPS/Location access.

Your position is indicated by the position arrow on the map.
