Not sure why they keep updating waypoint symbols when so much more needs work. Compass will stop working, tiles don't load properly and don't scale unless already highest zoom, centering forces recalc of coords when even when other apps already have gps lock [Edit 11/30/21] won't import gpx any more, only kml

Gps is really accurate w/ layers

Latest update no longer allows gpx files to be imported.

Loved it, paid for pro and happy to do so because the app worked great and I could download and use maps offline. Switched phones recently, reinstalled this app, just to find that after paying for the pro version, the devs now added a yearly subscription fee to any maps if you want to use offline or download. Incredibly stupid feature and an obvious moneygrab. I might check back to see if this gets reverted, but on principle I will not be spending a penny on devs that add fees after I bought Pro

Stopped working due to new 'map' charges. How can they start charging you again for something you already own?

Love it. Download the maps and go off grid.

I paid for the app and they removed the ability to download offline maps, now charging 30$/year for it.
