Ratings and reviews

I really like the app, wich has proven its value over several years to me. Only down side is that you can't have offline maps wich would be a good adition to the app. Where i live i don't have always a mobile data connection to load the map in those times i don't have all the details i would need a hand. Would be really helpful bieng able to preload a certain squre of the map for offline use. Until now i didn't foind a feature like this

I'm fortunate that in the area where I live many of the local footpaths are shown on OSM - they aren't all on Google Maps. With this app I can walk the footpaths and know exactly where I am, I can also navigate and plan routes. It's very fast, even on my cheap entry-level smartphone, and it's very simple and reliable to use. Excellent piece of software!

Its been a very helpful tool when needed for specific purposes, I haven't had the chance to use it to awful much yet but the times I have used it has been very easy navigate and understand the settings and overall layout has been a very intuitive experience. I will update when I use it more and have more experience with it!
