Most of us are familiar with the name of popular navigator and explorer called Christopher Columbus; whose exploratory voyages led to the discovery of the American Continent. Modern day adventurers too share the same spirit and often venture out all by themselves without any assistance to explore country side and forest areas away from the city humdrum with just a map as the only support. However, paper maps are often prone to damage and withering in due course making it eventually inadequate. In such a situation, Map View will be of great help to the user in such expeditions with its rich feature list and comprehensive operation.
