Re-post on the Europe forum. Very few Fodorites check in on this board (which is more for general travel discussions)

Actually, I think this is an appropriate topic for this forum since the OP is looking for an app to use when travelling. The fact that tailsock will be using it in Europe is incidental.

If you have an iPad/Phone, there's a couple of apps "Galileo Offline Maps" and "OffMaps" one of which may meet your needs.

There's also programs that will let you download map tiles from Google, Yahoo etc. and then view them offline and can be used on different OSes:

ShelliDawn: My suggestion was because -- a hundred times more people will see/read the thread on Europe. Your post has sort of proved my point. In 4 days exactly one person has posted w/ info. On the Europe forum - he likely would have received 8 or 10 responses in the first couple of hours.

Unfortunately tailsock posts and doesn't return to his threads so we don't know if he's read the responses or not.

In almost 4 years using Fodors I think I've been to "Travel Tips & Trip Ideas" twice....

Thank you for the suggestions, ShelliDawn. Galileo Offline Maps looks awesome.
