| 2024-04-17 |  | | Enjoyed and recommended for years, but will not work on my Asus Zenfone 11 ultra running android 14 stock. Only the right side displays properly. I get longitude, true heading, altitude, speed, time, and the compass in the middle works too. It will not load directions only a route preview. I still gave it 4 stars, because it works well on other devices. |
| 2023-12-24 |  | | I am a Real estate agent. Now when I list new property I get the coordinates from my app, note them down and look the property up in Google maps. Great for quick, accurate references. P. S: I live in a third world country where there is no MLS and addresses are often inaccurate. This is a great help. Thanks for producing this and allowing free use.Great, still the best. I am now retired, but I still use your great product |
| 2023-10-06 |  | | I am in the woods all the time scouting and hunting. My last garmin GPS crapped out on me. I found this app and upgraded and loved it. I found it more useful and convenient than my previous garmin gps. It is very accurate. I love the may maps I can pick from. It has never failed me. Trust me unlock the full potential of the app and you will be very happy. Most of the bad reviews I see here are from folks that do not unlock the app or have no idea how to use it. |
| 2021-10-04 |  | | In my opinion, it's the best GPS app out there by far. It's perfect for I use it for. I do a lot of 4x4 and hiking in the back country of Colorado. Nice how you can "waypoint" and record your trails. It seems to me that it would be almost impossible not to find your way out with app. Ease of use is another great commodity of this GPS app. Never hit the back country without it. Fantastic job on its creation and updates guys!! You have a winner here!! |
| 2021-02-08 |  | | Not like a real GPS device. You can record a track (trail) but you cannot navigate a track? Have used it only for hiking so no idea how it works for driving. The waypoints functionality is good, and it's nice to see waypoints and tracks on satellite images. But the basic hiking functionality of following a recorded track seems to be missing. |
| 2020-11-07 |  | | I tried the free version First and was disappointed I thought that if I paid for the other version GPS waypoints navigator that it would be better. It isn't. It's still just draws a straight line from one position to the next it does not show the exact Trail at tooth taken. Furthermore in comparison to other products the maps are not as good. |
| 2020-10-13 |  | | Intrusive ads completely spoil usability. I keep trying to delete the waypoint that's in the way point list after installation. I delete it and it comes right back. Had to watch a few ads just while trying to delete that stupid waypoint. Unable to add a waypoint by entering latitude and longitude. Intrusive ads are a horrendous price to pay for any application. Uninstalled. |
| 2020-08-22 |  | | I had high hopes for this GPS app. But it failed to deliver. I did a kown 3 mile hike. It was off by 3/4 miles. It showed 2.25 miles. Total time was 45 minutes. App showed 20 minutes. Used it again along side a handheld Garmin GPS. Again, the apps measured distance was about .25 mile per one mile traved. The timer was very inaccurate. The map was accurate, so no worries there if you want to use it as a map guide. But if you want to track time and distance, this app is very inaccurate. |
| 2020-07-26 |  | | A bit clunky, but has a wealth of features. It’s okay for free, but you can only save 3 routes at a time. Possibly if purchased it unlocks more features. Doesn’t seem to keep a time on your routes which I would have liked and only has elevation and plotting. The good is there are lots of map vectors which is very cool. But, I’m still looking |
| 2020-07-23 |  | | I predominantly use the app for driving directions. I also very much like the app. One of its particularly appreciated virtues is the ease with which it will provide directions from a current location to a destination. The one thing that disappoints is the circumstance that I cannot get the voice assist to work even when it is set as unmuted |
