v8.1.4

Settings menus show up under the extreme top of the screen where the camera is. You can't push on them when they are that far up into the screen border. Some of them are under the gesture buttons on the bottom of the screen, too. Glad to see you're still updating the app. It's way too useful to stop development.

Developer Response

Glad it is working well for you.

Aren't the Japan GSI maps free, as you described? They have a watermark on them.

v8.1.3

Update: 8.0.5 until 8.1.3 still had same issue. Settings menu 'underlapped' behind status bar and '3 button navigation' which is harder to touch for option. Latest update 8.0.5 got bug: Display overlapping(under) with phone status bar and phone navigation bar. In setting, very difficult to access(touch) upper most menu. Reverting to 8.0.2 solve that issue.

A Ronseal app!

Does more than it says on the tin! Clear fast rendering of OS maps at all scales with comprehensive Help screens. Track recording by GPS off-line, low battery use, and easy saving of map sections to SD card make this a winner app, even better than OS Maps and half the price as a one-off payment of the annual subscription to OS. Best app I've downloaded! Several recent, summer 2026, software updates have re-established this as a killer app on Android 16. Highly recommended!
