Developer Response
I ask you, don't uninstall the app, the app is a live reasearch project like it is told on the description. Please be patience, check the track of updates where you may realize the increase of content with each update. Please, keep tuned to next releases.The app contains 145 geolocated points at the moment you have written your review; 90 of them are strongpoints along the coast of Normandy, almost all the strongpoints.It's true that some landmarks doesn't provide extra information like Severloh's Mg-42 position but my design decision was increase quantity of geolocated points versus explanations.It's quite easy get information about Severloh and his Mg-42 but quite difficult know its real position. Be aware the app allows you to check its allocation on the interactive map or if you are in Normandy place at his allocation and have his same perspective of the beach.To finish... I repeat like I started this reply: please, don't uninstall and keep tuned for future updates.Eduardo
