Battery Life Disclaimer: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
Wasn’t totally clear that the 5 seat license claimed by the PRO level licensing is through Apple’s account licensing so be aware that you have to have all of your devices tied to the same appleid in order to use them. Additionally, when the automatic download of apps put the app on my iPad (after I installed it first on my iPhone), it did not recognize the license even if I tried to restore purchases. This might be a bug or quirk with the app getting auto installed on the iPad before I purchased the license. Deleting the app from the iPad and installing it again seems to have fixed the issue in case others run into the same thing. FYI on this nuance for the developer and appreciate they responded to my initial review after a few days so I’ve revised my original post.
Developer Response
This is Apple handled and subscriptions through Apple’s systems share between all of your devices that use your iTunes account. This way your subscription can share between your iPhone, iPad and any other device you own. There is no “time limit” on sharing these to your devices. It is handled and distributed as you update devices, get a new phone, buy another iPad, etc. Not sure what “licensing” add-on you were expecting as again all sale and distribution is handled via Apple and through your iTunes account with them. Pro subscriptions are priced for “you” and “your” devices, not multiple people with different iTunes accounts. Apple does not provide a distribution method for you to share your subscriptions with your buddies. Some of our race teams opt to buy “team” iPads that share one iTunes account. This is a loophole in Apples sale and distribution methods, not ours and the only way you can technically “share” a subscription. Yes I run LEADNAV myself and have since 2014 but even with over 30,000 users and professionals utilizing LEADNAV, I do a pretty good job at answering any email sent to headquarters@leadnavsystems.com or through our contact page within 24-48 hours at the most… So if you have an issue with your subscription let me know!DamianOwner LEADNAV
Truly impressive software capabilities
2010 Humvee
I bought a military humvee from the gov auction…like an idiot. It showed up new and so incredibly awesome. I have no experience and no experience, also I don’t know what I am doing. But this machine is so capable it just takes me everywhere. I am too wide for the UTV trails so I get caught in washes and slot canyons. I needed something and started digging around. This software is not only preferred by the hardcore racing teams I know, my new fabricator uses it on his toys, but surprising I was in contact with another gps system developer that uses the same GPS puck thing and they admitted LEADNAV has really provided the best option for in the field off-road route acquisition. It’s insane how even more capable I am now. I had to buy an iPad and learn from level zero, even just simple iPad buttons, but this system has completely changed my quality life. With this software now, We can leave from the house and search out historical landmarks, from plane wrecks to mines, to public hunting cabins. We can load up the kids to search out wildlife tanks, desert springs, Native American grinding pots that I had no idea were all within a 2 hour radius and plan the route in my new humvee to get there. So easy it’s actually fun to do. Lots of online training available, but you could figure it out on your own. AND I have reached out to the developer and received personal replies answering my question fully and guiding me to a more efficient tip, which he didn’t need to do. If you don’t have this software you are doing it wrong. I need to screen shot my master map with like 100 markers and 20 routes that reaches about 50 mile radius. This is a mush have for anyone camping or off-roading. You have no idea what cool stuff is just around the corner. And you can import all the other app trails and overlay them on these maps. This is a game changer. And once set up you don,t need a signal. On a side note: A camping iPad was not really a priority of mine, but now that I have it, I am not mad about that either. It runs my lights and dash cam. Runs my offline stereo library. Has a few movies for road trips or the 3 and 5 yr old to do puzzles on while in the RV. Cant do that on a garmin or fish finder thingy which I also looked into. I bought it for this software but really everything is better once I committed to LEADNAV.
Throw that old Lowrance away
OldBroncoGuy
This app has completely changed how I plan my off road adventures. I used it for a 2500 mile Baja adventure, and was able to create daily routes from stop to stop. I do a lot of off roading in the Western US and pre plan my routes with this app. There is a learning curve, but they have great videos on their website to help. I gladly upgraded to the pro version and the $120 per year is a spit in the bucket for the function/features you receive. I raced in several Baja 1K’s and NORRA M1k. I fought with lowrance god units every time. Using an IPad is so much better, and there are SO many more features with LeadNav.
Awesome!!
i loveee pizza
I’ve used this app for well over a year for many things. Yes mapping things out can take some time, but for me that’s not an issue. Off road courses, and rescue plans and options, the fact i can coordinate with other units using this app and be able to see them as well is great. Being able to leave notes on destination or warming/ caution markers is awesome. All around love the app as well as my team loves to use it as well. I work rescue from a busy metro city all the way out to the middle of no where and this app had never left me not knowing where I’m going.
GPS RELIABILITY - our biggest performance improvement to date:
• External GPS (XGPS160) failover overhauled: if your receiver dies, disconnects,
or loses signal, LeadNav switches to internal GPS in about a second - and
switches back automatically when it returns. No more app restarts.
• Fixed a rare frozen-position issue after locking/unlocking the screen.
• Recording engine hardened for huge Trip Packages: file saves no longer
interrupt the GPS stream, and unsaved edits are protected when the app
is backgrounded or closed.
• Fixed a rare route corruption that could throw a point across the globe -
and affected files now repair themselves on load.
• Track "Time" stat now shows true recording time. Max Speed is now immune
to GPS glitches.
GROUP TRACKING:
• Saved team sessions are now far easier to review: teammate name tags at
track endpoints, tap any track to identify the rider, and visible
timestamps throughout.
• Recording your own track while showing live teammate trails no longer
competes for resources - proven with 12 live riders and a full race
package on one device.
• Fixed a launch crash when large saved team session overlays were left
enabled.
• Cleaner Group Tracking settings on iPhone and iPad.
LICENSES - clearer names, more ways to pay:
• Advanced Pack is now ENTRY LICENSE. Pro Pack is now PRO LICENSE.
Same products, same features - clearer names.
• New Licenses screen: live pricing, your plan status and renewal date,
side-by-side tier comparison, and offer code redemption.
• Monthly payment options are now available for both licenses.
• Marker sets remain yours for life once unlocked.
Plus battery improvements and UI fixes throughout.
