AR-MAPS with transfer search is an interesting application that uses augmented reality to help you better understand your location. The application uses augmented reality, the camera, the gyroscope, the GPS and a geolocation system, Google Maps and iOS 6 Maps being supported, to generate a viewfinder superimposed on the maps, the whole system helping you to orient yourself more easily in the locations where you will find out. Basically, the application displays a feed of the camera on top of a map, that feed displays, using augmented reality, various points of interest around you, correlating them with the maps displayed below it, everything being extremely easy to use.
After you decide on a destination, set it as your desired destination and perform a route search. Display the direction or route to your destination and simply hold up the iPhone to intuitively read the map. Perform a transfer search to your destination, and perform another route search from your exit station. In addition, you can share your current location and destination by email with another AR Map user, which is handy for setting up a meeting spot at a first-time location or during travel. You can set the destination from an address or station name in Google Local Search. Of course you can also search for places like a public restroom or movie theater.
The developers' explanations are complicated, but the video clip above shows the application as well as possible and it is very useful when you are in a foreign country that you don't know much about. The problem with this kind of applications lies in the fact that few countries allow you to use them to their true capacity, so in a country like Romania you will not get everything you see in the clip. The good part is that ARMaps is available for free in the App Store, so you can test it without any problems.
