Estimation application downloads and cost
Version 4.0.0 contains dozens of changes to the base map. Most are minor (e.g., tweaked pin locations, minor changes to location names, etc), but these changes continue to polish the map--this map matches the Fourth Edition of the paper map. It also fixes a problem where the map would appear in landscape mode on high resolution phones when the Display Size was set to Small in the Android settings, and reduces a problem where the map was blurry on some devices.
Great supplement to the analog version and so much fun in the backcountry! Overall pretty good app, maps load slow when scrolling and zooming. Hopefully support will continue for things like satellite image data and route tracking/waypoints.
Used a few times in the back county. Recently let me down big time when the app failed to load the map while I was on white pine. I wish I had used the money to buy the real map since this app is unreliable. Don't count on it when you need it. I had to use Google maps to find my location. In this app, the compass still worked but the map was blank. What a let down when I needed it to work. And there is no technical support link from the app for bug reporting. Nice
If you have an Android, stick with the paper map. On my Samsung Galaxy S4 this app had terrible resolution unless zoomed all the way in, long loading times, and would constantly reorient if you moved close to the edges. These flaws severely disrupted basic functions. I was looking forward to using this app, but will stay away until it is redesigned for Android.
It's a map on your phone and spots you on GPS for easy trail finding
The search function is a joke
A must have.
Great to be in backcountry and verify where you are and the best approach. Worth every penny. Reviews that complain about not being able to find GPS need to read developers trouble shooting info. It's a setting toggle on your phone.
