PROSUPPPREMSUPP

Came across this on HUKD, thought it might be appreciated here too :)

Supposdely a great app to save on expensive mobile charges if you're lost abroad for example. Premium version is better than Pro version.

Steps to get the free pro or premium version:
1) Download the standard version of the app from the Google Play Store
2) Open the app. From the menu, select "Redeem a code"
3) Enter the code PROSUPP (for pro version) or PREMSUPP (for premium version - you must manually enter these codes, do not copy and paste!
4) You should now have pro access to the app for free

About the app:
▶ IN-DEPTH CONTENT: Unlike other offline map apps, CityMaps2Go features photos as well as tips and comprehensive in-depth info for millions of places.
▶ WORLDWIDE COVERAGE: CityMaps2Go covers the whole world. More than 150 countries, 60000 destinations, and 50 million places!!
▶ WORKS OFFLINE: CityMaps2Go works online and offline. Saving you from data roaming charges in foreign cities or connectivity problems in national parks.
▶ PLAN TRIPS: Remember and save all the places you would like to visit. Create lists and have your travel ideas ready when you need them.
▶ DETAILED MAPS: Explore your saves on a detailed worldwide map. Navigate streets, footpaths, and bikeways wherever you are.

Hope this helps someone (stuck in the middle of nowhere)!

    I can vouch for this app. It is very useful in the countries where Google Maps is not available.

    • CC123 on 12/01/2020 - 00:30

      Same here but for the iOS version which looks identical

      Doesn't Waze and here allow you to do that?

      • illumination on 12/01/2020 - 02:28
        +13

        Waze is more for motor vehicles as opposed to just being a "map" app.

        Here is probably a better comparison - but I don't know what's actually better. I think Here is always free?

        This is something that usually costs money which is now free, which gets us off… :D

        • Jackson on 12/01/2020 - 12:26

          Here is always free. I have only ever used them for navigation and have no issues with either.

          Yes I think that last part you mentioned is correct. Had cost now free.

      As in countries where you can’t access Google maps, or countries which aren’t mapped on Google maps? I’m trying to work out whether it’s worth setting up, but I’m happy to pre download google maps (or use a VPN) for countries which just block access to it.

      • em on 12/01/2020 - 09:36

        You can't do that for Japan or couldn't the last time I checked at least.

          Pretty sure you can - I downloaded a map of Tokyo for my last trip. Just open the Google Maps app, select offline maps and select your own map. It's a pretty hefty download if you select a large area like that, though. About 1.5gb for my Tokyo download.

      Where have you used it, out of curiosity? The main countries where I've been "stuck" without Google Maps are probably South Korea and China.

      China: Baidu Maps
      Korea: Kakao Maps/Naver Maps

      For Korea, I personally found Naver better for public transport - but pretty sure that requires data.

      • dekekun on 12/01/2020 - 07:36

        Naver has offline but it requires an account, which was…difficult without speaking Korean.

Although that last one is pretty easy, since staring at my phone's blank screen when it's locked is basically the same thing.

        • coprocessor8087 on 13/01/2020 - 08:41

      It doesn't even seem to have navigation (with public transport), which is the most basic requirement these days.

It didn't take even an iota of brainpower to see who upvoted him. Like you, most of them didn't have the ticker or nous to join the fray to help your struggling conrade out.

                    The RC will be interesting eh? As plenty have said in regards to the mass destruction of the environment, animals, and people's lives- what does it take to wake some people up from their smugness and complacency?

Your arrogance in that thread was astounding. As mentioned, you have your head up your ass and you think the air there is wonderful :)

                      I wasn't "helping him out". The upvote to jv was because he made it clear to everyone that you dearly wanted to be the internet police and shouted down anything that you don't approve of - to the tone of 31 comments on one page. Hell, I didn't even reply to you and you started flaming me. The sign of an angry, defective mind crying out for help.

                                Ah that old furphy, which attempts to equate modern scientific systems and knowledge with that of our ancestors centuries ago when science was in its infancy. You picked a poor example for obvious reasons but that's understandable. Next time I suggest you try "continental drift".

                                Yes, one of the enduring tenets of modern science is that it is never finished, 'we' can always know more and refine data, models and knowledge. That's why there are public conferences, scientific publications, and peer review. Is this system perfect? Far from it but it's better than uninformed, arrogant and clearly biased opinion, or possibly worse still - pseudo science promulgated by vested interests, including some current and retired scientists.

                                Here's my simple question for you -

                                In your opinion, where do you think the huge amount of greenhouse gas generated by human activity (including farmed animals) goes, and what effect do you think it has on global climate?

                                That the earth was round? Eratosthenes proved that in like 270bc.

                                The whole "people thought the earth was flat in the middle ages and they'd sail off the edge" is an urban myth perpetuated by movies, you Gronk. Much like climate change, go do some research on the topic before running your mouth off.

                                  The battle to enlighten the ignorant has gone on for centuries. Our ancestors thought education was the answer but it appears they may have overestimated (or more probably not forseen) the effect modern egoism and ideology would have on rational thought.

                            @payton: I don't recall you or your conrades attempting to discuss [anthropogenic] climate change at all. That would be because you know nothing about the science but believe your obviously ignorant opinion should have equal weight to that of tens of thousands of qualified and experienced scientists.

                            Science is always open to informed debate. Lies and invention have no place in that discussion. Climate scientists have published data and peer-reviewed papers on a huge range of highly techinical issues regarding the causes of global warming, and the consensus remains the same. Their sccience, including models, is there for all to see and criticise - and that has happened within the science community for more than a decade.

                            Here's a website which discusses the hundreds of myths promulgated by deniers and skeptics. I suggest you take a few hours to read it. Commentary is provided by scientists and explanations are divided into basic and intermediate. There is also a provision for asking questions and engaging in debate. https://skepticalscience.com/

        Don't think any of them were premium though!

  • povertytrap on 12/01/2020 - 01:49

    Anyone know of a code for the IOS version of this app?

      Use the code on android and then login on ios. It works.

        Thanks

        And I'm thinking, in anticipation of a "I don't have an Android", you could maybe try Nox, or some other PC Android emulator as your Android device.

          After fluffing around for almost half an hour, I couldn't change my device to a phone on the Mac app, guessing that's the reason the app would not install, I ended up using the redeem link on the web!

      See this post: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/8227176/redir

      I've also posted the more direct link which you can redeem the code. Once it's redeemed and tied to your Ulmon/CityMaps2Go account, it'll show up on your iOS app when you login with the same account.

    This is so ridiculously good that I am getting worried to be dis-honoured tomorrow morning… it has already over 2k votes on the HUKD. Almost too good to be true :-)
    But in any case, thanks a lot OP, great map for the outback parts without any mobile coverage. Great App.

      I don't think they will dishonoured…..
      I check my iOS history, the pro version was been free few times long time ago..

      Why would you be worried? It's not really going to impact you, you just lost something you didn't have less than 24 hours ago.

    Am i doing something wrong or you can't use these maps for travelling and navigate a to b like with Google maps? Thank you

    Any suggestions to use some other maps then google maps but that use Google's traffic situation monitoring and search style of places etc? Thanks all

      Waze… which is now owned by Google anyway.

      • illumination on 12/01/2020 - 02:34

        But that won't work offline - which seems to be a primary selling point of this particular app, otherwise you could just stick to Google Maps (albeit with some differing features)

        • TogTogTogTog on 12/01/2020 - 08:12

          Unless you select an area to save offline…

      Try herewego maps. Used to be the default on Windows Phones and was great. Can also save maps for offline use, which came in great when travelling.

      • OrbDaggerZ on 12/01/2020 - 16:49

        Also using Here Maps, didnt know it went free, I got it free or for .10 cents in a sale many many years ago, along with Osm+.

    • trainingwheelz on 12/01/2020 - 16:10

      I can't find that feature either. I'm thinking of deleting the app.

  • ShinK0 on 12/01/2020 - 02:01

    Silly question, is there a place to check what version you have? I put in the pro version and didn't read the premium version was better. Now I've added the premium code and it said it worked but want to make sure.

    • Smokey010 on 12/01/2020 - 04:03

      Uninstall it and reinstall with Premium Code. It should work but need to create account and verify it so as to save the upgrade. Cheers

        Not really the question I asked, but thanks for trying anyway.

        • Salmando on 12/01/2020 - 23:42

          His solution will "make sure" you are using premium

          • ShinK0 on 12/01/2020 - 23:57

            @Salmando: sigh Thanks for pointing that out. My question still stands. Is there a way to know you have it for sure, otherwise in future they can just rescind it without you knowing as it doesn't seem to show it anywhere, or does it? That is my question.

            As for his little tip, I did thank him for it.

    • ShinK0 on 13/01/2020 - 17:12

      If you want to double check it's redeemed to your account. Just put in your details and the code.
