User reviews

Best maps in world. The best readable and the most detailed rendering at the same time. Powerful layers like ski routes or gradients.

The time estimes are incredibly accurate. It's also really nice to have a good overview into the elevation gain/loss.

Recently the app became somewhat unstable, crashes from time to time when navigating and crashes almost every single time when you want to delete a saved tour. If this issue would be fixed it's definitely 5 stars again. Great App for hiking! We mainly use SwissTopo for navigation in the mountains.
