Best way to discover new places and how to reach them. When the regular map doesn’t have a road BRMB knows the way.

Thank you for your feedback! It's great to hear that our app helps you discover new places and find roads that aren't on standard maps.

This app is pretty useless without a search function for specific locations. All instructions on the web are for the previous version which appears to have had this functionality. I will stick with the old paper books that have an index.

Developer Response
Thank you for your feedback! In version 1.7, released in June 2022, we added advanced search functions to our app. This includes a BRMB Adventure Points of Interest Search with over 425,000 searchable locations, including adventure points of interest, water and land features, cities and communities, and BRMB service providers. You can also filter your search by Adventure Categories or Layers. AAdditionally, under Settings, you can switch to Mapbox Search to access hundreds of thousands of OpenStreetMap points for addresses, businesses, points of interest, and more.

An absolutely painful app.

I was looking for an app where I would be able to download back road maps for use when I am in the Bush. This is definitely not the app for that. Even online, maps are painfully slow to load. Downloading? Useless. The stupid thing times out after going through the download for ten minutes… at the end, you just get a message saying that the download was unable to be completed because it timed out. Do t waste your money…

Developer Response
This is indeed odd behaviour. We did a few tricks to speed the map rendering up recently but that should not have affected your ability to download the maps. Perhaps you were trying this in an area with limited cellular or wi-fi data? If this problem persists please contact app@backroadmapbooks.com to see if we can sort out your issues.

Hi there, please check that you have the "Press to Drop a Waypoint" option enabled in the app settings. This will activate the functionality!
