All of the way points I had saved are no longer there. Makes it difficult to get back to my back country hunting spots.
I love the app for marking my favorite spots and logging of any finds.
The only thing I would like is a better way to see all of your way points.
I’m using it to point WiFi antennas at far away towers. This app is just about perfect!
While this is one on the most impressive of navigation apps on the market, it’s waypoint management is severely limited. Requires iTunes to get data into app. With iOS 11, iCloud, and files app... PLEASE update the waypoint management and import function and utilize these new modern methods. Many folks don’t even use iTunes anymore.
You will be able to navigate in ways you haven't even thought of yet.
I was shopping for a handheld compass for my sailboat, and ran across a thread on one of sailing forums that mentioned this app. I was a bit skeptical of an app's accuracy, but the app looked cool enough to try. First thing I did was to check the compass against the compass in my Nikon binoculars. At first I was disappointed, because the reading was about 20 degrees off, but after a bit of fiddling, I realized the app was showing true north, rather than magnetic north. I adjusted the settings to make the app show magnetic, and then the app and my binoculars showed exactly the same setting. Amazing! After that, I started playing around with the other features and reading the manual (a must for such a sophisticated app), and I must say that I am blown away by this little app. I'm an app developer myself, and I am truely impressed with the features and finish of this app. Bravo to the developer(s). Highly recommended.
This is probably one of the best, most useful apps I have. It is well put together, accurate, and well thought out. It does everything I need it to and more. If you're looking for a compass app, and especially one that does MGRS, this is the one. Big 5 stars.
