To do this we utilize open data from openstreetmap.org, naturalearthdata.com, geonames.org, wikitravel.org, and wikipedia.org and compress and package it in a format optimized for mobile devices. PocketEarth renders beautiful vector maps in real-time using our OpenGL ES based MagikEngine technology. So unlike other map apps which only download pre-rendered images (map tiles), our maps are only a fraction of the size, and you can better control the appearance of the map with different style sheets and data layers.
