MastaMap Android app – Guidebook & Tips

MastaMap  

MASTAMAP is an app that helps you Search, Create, Share, & Save locations, no matter where you are in the world. You can also use the MastaMap app to send Instant Messages and, call an Uber.

MastaMap android app uses GPS (or if you are using the web version on your PC or Laptop, allow MastaMap to access your current location). Once MastaMap pinpoints your location, choose a location name and Save this to your address book. You can also Share the link and your friends can then view this link without having to log on to MastaMap. Simple! No more complicated directions, time spent searching for a street or building in local or foreign lands, no more trying to work out long winded directions such as, walk past the yellow post office, turn right, then head north until you see a green pharmacy at the end of the junction. MastaMap cuts this all out. You simply create a location code from where ever you are then Share or Save this in to your ‘My Locations’ folder. And, in the words of Steve Jobs, “… there’s one more thing” You can also order an Uber ride straight from MastaMap!  So, download MastaMap from Google Play.
