User reviews
Simplicity at its best. Lack of adequate automatic map rotation when moving around is an issue just like not being able to rotate the map yourself.
Amazingly useful for walking - it helps me a lot to keep things simple, ie. Where am I? And where's the path? Keep it up! But would prefer a current gps location dot instead of arrow, which swings about wildly.
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!
