Chicago Offline Bike Map
Created by Steven Vance
Description
The Chicago Offline Bike Map allows you to reference a map of Chicago streets and bikeways without a data connection. The entire map is stored on your iOS device.
The app shows the locations of bike lanes, shared lanes (where there are "sharrows" on the pavement), cycle tracks (also known as protected bike lanes), buffered bike lanes, and off-street trails (like the Lakefront Trail and Major Taylor Trail).
Updates will be made monthly in order to ensure the app has the latest bikeway and OpenStreetMap data.
The app is quite large (over 100 MB) because all of the map data is downloaded and stored to your phone. This is ideal for people without data connections, or without active wifi, or those who have low data limits.
