About Alice Springs offline map
Offline map of Alice Springs and Uluru/Ayers Rock, Australia with the southern half of the Northern Territory for tourist & business visitors. Download before you go and avoid expensive roaming charges. The map runs completely on your device; display with pan and zoom, routing, search, bookmark, everything. It does not use your data connection at all. Switch your phone function off if you want to! NSA proof!
No ads. All features fully functional on installation, you do not need to buy add-ons or do extra downloads.
The map includes the entire city, Ayers Rock, Uluru, and the complete southern half of the Northern Territory up to Tennant Creek on the Stuart Highway. You can show a route to any place for motor vehicle, foot or bicycle; even without a GPS device.
The map is based on OpenStreetMap data, http://www.openstreetmap.org.
How good is it? The Alice Spring road network appears to be complete with names. Uluru is mapped in detail. Places to stay and things to do and see seem well covered. Coverage of eating places, shops, pharmacies, banks etc is patchy. You can help improve it by becoming an OpenStreetMap contributor. We periodically publish free updates with the latest data.
The app includes a search function and a gazetteer of commonly needed items like hotels, eating places, shops, things to see and do, golf courses.
You can bookmark places like your hotel for easy return navigation using "My Places".
Turn-by-turn navigation is available on devices running Android 2.3 or higher. If you are using an older phone or don't have a GPS device, you can still show a route between two locations.
Navigation will show you an indicative route and can be configured for car, bicycle or foot. The developers provide it without any guarantee that it is always correct. For example, it does not show turn restrictions - places where it is illegal to turn. Use with care and above all look out for and obey road signs.
Like most small developers, we cannot test a wide variety of phones and tablets. If you have trouble running the application, do email us and we will try to help.
System Requirements: A phone or tablet with a memory card and at least 30 MB free. GPS is useful but not required.

Thought of giving it a go. Unfortunately the search never actually triggers and there aren't any ways in the UI to press and have the search actually go ahead, The search pop up looks unfinished and just doesn't work from the UI itself. Hitting Enter on the keyboard just adds a line instead of staying the search.
