Great app lads!!

Great up, real time location is great. Getting distance and bearing to points of interest is really useful. Have you guys got the permissions to get elevation put in the app? so I can get a grid with an elevation.

Also I think a bigger compass rose, or even an overlay of one would be of great benefit to the app. Would make things a little easier when on the ground and need a quick cardinal direction.

Keep up the good work tho!

Good, but

A good tool to use especially the detail it provides when using hybrid or satellite view and zoomed in is amazing. With such clarity in detail you can easily look at an area and orientate what your looking at the the actual ground. However some areas the map is scrambled and in hybrid and satellite view and if the area you want to use is in the scrambled section you pretty much on your own wits. Also the map takes ages to load at times and there’s no offline usage, which should be a feature. The overlays are to big when plotted on the map and cove other details of the map, should look at reducing the sizes or add a feature to do so. However the gps is very accurate and the other functions such as being able to change the grid reference from UTM to MGRS or LAT LON is great. I thinks adding on offline feature and improving the map view will make this app one of the top app if not the top app for outdoor navigation.

Expensive but bought waiting for other features

I bought this because of good comments from others i know use it. But...at the moment it isn’t much use without:

1) offline maps
2) other maps - particularly outdoor types like ordanance survey, open street map, map box and thunderforest types.
3) creating routes
4) recording tracks.

Once the first two features are added. Its a 4 star app. And when all 4 features are added its a 5 star app.
