Mapedy's Map of Philippines is an Android app that will get you up to speed with Filipino geographic in no time flat.

Whether you need to plan a route to visit family in Manila or are studying for a geography exam, Map of Philippines offers unrivaled accurate maps that are much speedier than those provided by Google. The app also features several other enhancements that you won't find with the standard software that came with your phone.

If you live outside of the Philippines, then it may not have the most updated maps for any area outside of the major metropolitan areas. Map of Philippines always has the most updated street-level charts even for rural areas. The zoom controls work somewhat like a game, which means you might end up spending an awful lot of time just browsing through these maps. You won't realize that you're learning a ton about the local geography while you imagine you're flying above a gorgeous semitropical region.

You'll also be able to easily chart the distances between any two points in the country, which is an extremely handy feature to have when it comes time to plan a road trip to an area you're not familiar with.
