Discover the US with USA Road Atlas, the real-time GPS navigation app designed for travelers undertaking everything from interstate RV touring to backroad camping.

USA Road Atlas tracks your exact location on the map as well as allowing you to navigate, plot and save your route. The maps are already preloaded with the app, which means you don’t need any cellular coverage for navigation purposes and to know exactly where you are at all times on your iPad* or iPhone.

The app features the award-winning seamless mapping from Hema’s Ultimate United States Road Atlas book, containing coast-to-coast mapping at an ideal driving scale of 1:1Million with the busy Northeast Corridor shown at 1:250,000. Major cities are also covered with an overview map of their major roads and suburbs at a detailed scale of 1:250,000.

With a simple user interface, relevant touring symbols and detailed mapping nation-wide, USA Road Atlas is an appropriate offline GPS navigation app to guide those interested in touring or discovering the US’ backroads using their iPhone or iPad.

*Although you do not need a SIM Card installed or cellular coverage to utilise the GPS tracking functions on iPad for the app, a 3G-enabled iPad (as opposed to a WiFi only iPad) is necessary to discover and track your location. A WiFi-only iPad does not contain the in-built GPS that a 3G iPad does, however external Bluetooth GPS receivers can be purchased for use with a WiFi-only iPad.

Battery Use Disclaimer: “Continued use of GPS tracking can dramatically decrease battery life.”
