Excellent Travel Guide - A Must on the Alaska Highway
Russellx1%er
I have purchased this travel guide each year for the past several years. The maps and the detail for some of the more sparse roads are a must to know about lodging, gas, and restaurants, as well as some interesting tourist spots that you wouldn’t necessarily find otherwise. The app works flawlessly for me, and I am an avid fan. I would recommend it without hesitation for any tourist in Alaska, Yukon, BC, or Alberta. If you’re going by road, it makes the trip more fulfilling and less worrisome.
Looks great. Now if they could just make it WORK.

Running on an iPhone 5S here. Sorry, I mean LOCKING UP on an iPhone 5S here. I stupidly bought the three map sets I need, and $15 later I discover the app crashes if you try to, you know, LOOK at any of them. Oh, and don't tap the names of the voices in the Settings area -- that locks up the app, too. Maybe ONE DAY the app will work and I'll actually get $15 in value out of it. In the mean time, it's back to PAPER for me.
Useless

The idea of it is awesome. I am about to drive across the Alcan here in a couple weeks and was really looking fwd to utilizing this app, but it won't download the map I selected. And I've tried to "restore" it multiple times and it just keeps spinning & accomplishing nothing. I deleted it. Waste of space on my phone. :-/
Doesn't work

Just a picture of a map. No navigation or any way to access the VIP content. Major fail.
Couldn't even get it to work

Couldn't even get it to work Already had the milepost book and was registered in their email and all set up to go. Downloaded the app and it let me in a circle telling me that I could not register the app because my email was not register with them.. help and support told me that I had to register for the app separately so I proceeded to fall the directions. After which it told me that I could not register my email address and password because it was already taken. I gave up and deleted it.
