Off line maps for navigation on iPad

May have to go Hema if I can't solve the Wikicamps app map. Regards. Lynton

Hi Julie: Thanks very much for your very quick response.

I omitted a couple of important points in my post, viz., my iPad is new [iOS7] and has both WiFi and Cellular. Because of the latter it has GPS inbuilt.

I tried wikicamps offline i.e., on aeroplane mode. I could open the site list, etc. but could not open the WiKiCamp map. When WiFi and cellular are "switched on", i.e., aeroplane mode is off, I can open the map.

How were you able to use WiKicamp maps in remote areas, i.e., offline - no wifi or cellular? I am obviously doing something wrong.

Kind regards
Lynton

Aeroplane mode disables all radio based parts on ipad and iphone ( cell, wireless, bluetooth and gps).

So when you use aeroplane mode the app doesn't know where you are, i would say the app has to be able to receive gps to work.

Google is your friend.......

Yes it does receive gps to work.

I frequently use gps in plane mode. Ive used it to track planes flight path. And I run ozi in flight mode when remote so it doesn't suck juice network searching

Understanding aeroplane mode.....
