MiniMap is a floating and re-sizable map that can overlay other apps and provide quick access to your route without any interruptions. This is a very helpful feature for multitasking. For instance, you can use this app to send directions to your friends quickly through chats, or browse the web while keeping track of your route, and more.
Moreover, you can also make the map always appear on top. Re-sizing and minimizing feature makes it even more convenient to use alongside other apps. Apart from displaying maps, it also displays many useful indicators like your speed, direction, altitude, latitude/longitude and the traffic. This makes it powerful than other such map apps in the market.
The developer got this inspiration from games where you can see a map interface, at some corner of your screen, that tracks your location in the game world. Although the screen of your mobile may seem small for using MiniMap, the app goes well in conjunction with other apps, as you get used to it.
You can also re-size the map as per your convenience. To re-size the floating map, you need to drag it by the bottom right corner. To move it around your screen, tap the top right corner and drag it. You can also temporarily minimize it by simply tapping it twice.
