Ratings and Reviews
Great planning tool!
I am still making plans for our RV trip along the Blue Ridge Parkway and this app has a wealth of information! I Can review and chose which stops and attractions we want to visit along the way as well as get information on campgrounds to call for reservations. I can’t wait to get started traveling on it. Thank you for developing this amazing app!!
Offline maps!
I tried to reach app support on this issue but the page is not available so I guess I’m on my own. I purchased the offline maps for 1.99. Not complaining about that but I purchased it on my iPad and also loaded it on my phone. It keeps asking me to purchase the offline maps and the app still has the purchase option there. Seems like everyone here has an issue with the offline map stuff. Otherwise, the app itself seems to work ok. Not sure if the app support is available and not sure who the 1.99 payments are going to. Must be nice to be able to get paid and not support the product…
Good, but could be better
It calls itself a travel planner, and that seems appropriate. It lets you read up about many of the sites along the parkway before you go, or during your trip. But the map is lackluster. Also, the app is missing one key feature: the parkway itself. The app displays the parkway as just another street on the map, and the app treats it no differently from other map features. That is, the app doesn’t know your milepost, which direction you are traveling, and if you are off the parkway it doesn’t know the nearest point, and provides no way of obtaining directions. In short, the app provides little more than what you can find in a browser online.
