GPS Satellite Maps: Live Earth

Maps for getting oriented

GPS Satellite Maps: Live Earth is a Maps & Navigation app for people who want map views, route help, and practical location tools in one place. It uses GPS to show your current position and lets you explore satellite imagery of roads, landscapes, countries, and landmarks. It can suit drivers, walkers, travellers, and anyone planning a visit to an unfamiliar area.

Navigation and travel tools

The app provides driving routes and voice directions, so you can follow a journey without constantly reading the map. A compass helps with direction, while the speedometer shows your current travel speed. If you leave your car somewhere unfamiliar, the parking locator can save the spot for later. You can also measure the distance between two or more locations and revisit saved measurements.

Useful information beyond the map

GPS Satellite Maps: Live Earth adds several reference tools for travel planning and general use. Browse famous places, look up basic country information, check international calling codes, compare currencies, and view the current time in cities around the world. Its GPS camera can add a location, date, timestamp, and address to photos. A QR scanner is also included among the app’s extra utilities.
