Puerto Rico Street Map for Android
When downloading images on my Samsung Captivate...the program crashes. Too bad...Ireally needed this.
Works on my phone (Motorola Photon), but required repeated attempts to download the maps. (Would hang indefinitely with anything short of a rock-solid connection). Eventually, it does work... after a fashion. -- Displays a street-level map of Puerto Rico. Since the maps are stored on the phone, it works even if you don't have data access where you're located (e.g., El Yunque). -- The map can be scrolled -- slowly -- by dragging with your finger (not at all smooth like Google Maps). There's no pinch-to-zoom -- you press a zoom in or zoom out button on the screen. -- It can find you based on GPS... although it's more than happy to leave you with a completely blank display if you ask it to do this while outside of Puerto Rico! -- You can search for a city or street name, but it's just searching a (huge!) list, matching the first few characters; results were often inaccurate ("San Juan" was 10 miles off!) -- You can similarly search for amentities -- the locations looked OK here. -- Stores some of the maps in "My Gallery" on your phone... uggh! Overall... it's a very amateurish (poor) app, but perhaps worth it if you do plan to travel outside of cell coverage a lot.
