zero tech support- doesn't work. I paid for the necessary upgrades to use the GIS mapping and I have a brand new GNSS receiver. no matter what I do it won't correct and the map is only accurate to several meters. no tech support, no tutorial videos, and the website it basically blank. too go to be true

I'd be helpful if pictures can be set as fields. That way they can be categorized. Also the option to import Mbtiles would be great.

Functional enough for my application (tree survey), but beware the extortion attempt when you try to retrieve your data. $30 is steep for an amateur one-off project, but I might have considered it if they'd been up front about it. Thankfully, we only did a small trial before committing.
