Tested on my iPod Touch (v1 – 2.1)

9 Mio – Available in 16 Languages – Awesome multitouch for zoom and rotation – Tilt is amazing too – Need 10 second to load at startup – Pretty smooth 3D over wifi connection – Only two layers (wikipedia & panoramio) – Local search – Localization (as in Maps)

Don't know if EDGE/3G connection is allowed (maybe huge data transfers are required, I didn't test). Hope KML will be allowed in next versions!

It's available only in the US store, Polish iTunes Aps Store doesn't have it. Just great :| Your previous post seems to be very timely...

I can hook you up with a credit card-free US store account for getting stuff from over there.

Not exactly. I'm in the UK and downloaded it this morning.

According to TechCrunch [*] other countries will follow gradually:

<< The app is free and available today in all languages the iPhone currently supports (18) and will gradually be released for 22 countries in total. Check the iTunes App Store to see if you’re among the lucky ones. >>
