It uses a standard iPad map which is enough for pinning places you have ever visited. Meanwhile, it does not provide you satellite view which would be perfect for pinning your unique places. Obviously, you can track some of them via the search tool but they might be quite reminiscent for you. In this respect this app doe not look complete. Also, some countries are not sufficiently drawn which is a bit disappointing. Anyway, all in all this app is totally worth to download. Easy, reliable, and almost does not take your hard drive. Recommended.
