The ClassicMap application is a revived version of Google Maps which can be easily downloaded to your iOS6 device without any effort to root it out. The developer has incorporated Google’s bitmap based maps to view the locations. As far as UI is concerned, it is pleasant looking, clear and provides a search bar along with a toolbar inheriting location and action options.
“Additional options” button causes the famous "page-curl" effect that old users of iPhone must have experienced in the prior versions. This curl unveils the further options to place pins on the map to save a specific location or may be to get the hardcopy of the map shown. There’s another option of switching between hybrid map types and standard satellite view that enables the users to riffle between Google Maps and Apple’s built-in maps by making use of MapKit framework. However, the searching feature doesn’t work like as it is expected to be.
On the whole, ClassicMap has all the required features that one would want to enjoy in a mapping application. If you like mapping and the Apple’s built-in map doesn’t satisfy you, ClassicMap is a must have! It is free, compatible with iPhone 5 with good interface and inherits popular features of the prior versions of iPhone.
