Barcelona is the capital of Catalonia and the second largest city in Spain. It is renowned for its unique architecture and art galleries, its gastronomy and its beautiful natural setting.


As you explore youll want local maps on your iPhone but if you are visiting Spain from another country you could easily run up substantial roaming data charges. With this app, you will avoid them. A map of Barcelona is stored directly on your device. Personalised markers allow you to annotate the map according to your needs and when you have access to data (hotel wi-fi for example) you can use iOS location search and store the results for offline use.

You neednt worry about separately downloading map data - its all taken care of within the app and yet it manages to use only 40 MB of storage. Better still, its free for basic use and a small extra charge allows you to see extra mapping detail and customise markers.

The map data is sourced from OpenStreetMap. This is a freely editable map of the whole world and is more up-to-date and detailed than its competitors.
