User reviews

Do not rely on this. Property lines are off by several feet. If you depend on this it could cost you depending on how you use it. It might be okay to get a basic idea but again, its off by several feet

I have been doing mapping for several decades now. This is by far the greastest little app I have added to my toolbelt in a long time. Took a bit of time to figure out the processes, a manual to view offline would have been helpful. Looking forward to other upgrades and integrations.
