The app does what it says, it provides a basic offline map of Montreal. But every other feature in the app is definitely inferior to the built-in Maps application: - The "Find Location" feature is just a list of street names. It does not look up specific street numbers or intersections. So you can find where a street runs as a whole, but without any street numbers, you can't find where a specific address is located on that street. This is a particular problem on longer streets and avenues that could run for miles. - The "Find Amenity" feature (e.g., for hotels, cafes) puts markers on the map, but those markers can't be tapped to show more detail. So you can't see the exact street address for any of these locations. Also, the search feature on the "Find Amenity" screen does nothing. - Once a marker is on the map, you can't clear it (e.g., if you look up "hotels", all the hotel markers stay on the map even if you do a subsequent look up for "cafes"). As far as I can tell, you need to quit and restart the app to clear the map markers. - There are no driving directions or routing features in the app. For me, this map was adequate since all I needed was the equivalent of a printed street map with an index of street names, which is all this app really provides. But if you are expecting a true offline equivalent of the built-in Maps application, with real location search or driving direction, you won't find them in this app.
Just got back from Montreal. I tried to use this thing once or twice, but it was entirely useless. It was unable to locate me on a cloudless day and the search is nonexistent. I used a free paper map from the hotel.
