Feature-rich offline map for Florence with detailed POIs but mixed support

Peter Salakani

07/04/2026

Florence Offline Map offers a high-resolution, customizable OpenStreetMap-based offline map with contour lines, layered POIs, search, location, and no ads or tracking, but sparse user feedback and at least one complaint about developer responsiveness may concern buyers.

In this offline map solution derived from OpenStreetMap, contour lines are provided and small paths and trails are represented, which enhances topographic detail.

POI layers: POIs are categorized into layers and can be displayed selectively. Examples include restaurants, public transport lines, banks, hiking trails, charging stations, and medical facilities. Icon size and overlap can be adjusted to improve clarity.
Search and data scope: A built-in database enables searching for POIs and a wide range of streets, towns, villages, and districts. Searches can be filtered by category and distance.
POI details and notes: For many POIs, additional information is available such as opening hours, address, and accessibility. Users can attach notes or favourites to POIs, view a history of recently used items, and share content.
Location and privacy: A location feature shows the current position; the app is ad-free and does not track users.

Pros

High-resolution offline maps with contour lines — good for hiking and detailed orientation
Based on OpenStreetMap data, showing very small footpaths and trails
Switchable map layers and grouped POI layers (restaurants, transport, banks, hiking trails, charging stations, doctors, etc.)
Customizable icon size/overlap to improve map clarity
Local POI database with search, distance filtering and category filtering
POIs include extended information when available (opening hours, address, disabled access)
Notes, favorites and history features to mark and quickly access important locations
Location function for showing current position on the offline map
Ad-free and claims no tracking (privacy-friendly)
Relatively compact app size (~86.8 MB) for an offline-map app
Regular updates noted in changelog (map material, POI updates, layout improvements)

Cons

Very low App Store rating (1.0) and extremely limited visible user feedback — suggests low user satisfaction or low adoption
At least one user review reports poor developer responsiveness to questions/support requests
Paid app (US$3.99) — cost may be a drawback compared with free map apps
No clear mention of turn-by-turn routing or advanced navigation features — primarily a map/POI viewer
Some past updates removed features (e.g., Mini-Map) or introduced regressions that required troubleshooting (coordinate input error, contour line visibility issues)
Likely limited to Florence region (app title implies city-specific coverage) — not suitable as a general/global offline map
Only two languages listed (English + 1) — limited localization
Small developer presence/popularity (single developer, few ratings) — potential risk for long-term support
App Store information hints at occasional bugs that required fixes in multiple versions
No obvious in-app help/support channel visible on the App Store page — could make troubleshooting harder for users
