Thanks

I like the user interface, very easy and intuitive! Thank you for the app!

Great for back road travel

If you just need city and big highway maps then download anything. They're all the same. BUT if you get off-road or deep into the back country GET THIS APP. I've tried many. This beats them all.

You download this app when you purchase, and it’s huge. That’s understandably because it’s a bunch of maps. Then GrangerFX discovers “minor bugs” and their solution is to have everyone download the ENTIRE THING again. We’re talking IN EXCESS OF 2GB for EVERY update. Monumental waste of bandwidth! These guys need to go back to school and redesign this entire thing, so it doesn’t need to be such a pain. Until that happens IT IS NOT WORTH IT!!! Update: here's the response I got from GrangerFX, MONTHS LATER: "Please consider using the free stand alone Scenic Map app. It has a very small download and gets map data from the cloud". So their answer (to the challenge put forth to reduce their bandwidth footprint by fixing how they update their app) is "Thanks for giving us your money, now go back and use the free version". There is a trend with developers to abandon the traditional elegance of coding using minimal code. With this app it goes to the extreme. Updates that consume gigabytes of bandwidth is lunacy. I still say AVOID THIS APP and I'll now go further: I'd recommend avoiding ANYTHING from this developer. Not only do they lack skill -- they have no respect for their customers, no understanding of the iOS environment, and no grasp of their profession. Hey GrangerFX: "Please consider another business model away from mobile devices - something where bandwidth doesn't matter. As for your treatment of customers, you are right up there with United Airlines. CONGRATULATIONS!"

Looks good and I would love to try it

Just me thank you

But it won't download.i tried hundreds of times to get it to download.its not my iPad because I checked so it has to be the app.please fix so I can try this app.thank you.

Powerful tool for Helicopter Search & Rescue

jpavionics

UPDATED 10-AUG-2018: I LOVE THIS APP- I’ve been utilizing this app as a back up (honestly, primary) to the onboard navigation equipment on a Navy MH-60S specifically for SAR Ops and identifying names and locations of local landmarks, roads, and popular trails such as the Pacific Crest Trail which is well marked within the app. UPDATE: I've also used all over the Pacific, midway, Japan, Indo, Vietnam, Singapore, Sri Lanka, PI, Indo-Asia area with zero issues. I've found that if I know where I'm going ahead of time, I'll get on Wi-Fi or data and conduct a map study, zoom in, and then cache the maps with the necessary zoom in detail as required for my flight missions. The only downside to this app is that it requires around 2GB of memory on your device to store the 3D maps (UPDATE: I got a new phone so memory is no longer an issue). But for what I do, even if I was limited on memory, I’m more than willing to give up that space on my phone/ipad for this app and the cached map data. Although I give it 5 stars, there is always room for improvement. For instance, I've got a lot of stored waypoints. I'd like to be able to prioritize my favorite waypoints towards the top of my list instead of having to scroll all the way to the bottom just to access my most frequently used ones. (If there is a way to already do that, I haven't figured it out). Also, I'd like to see the satellite imagery updated. For the price of the app and In-app Purchase, this is the best tool for the SAR community that I’ve used so far. I’ve paired my phone with a Bad Elph GPS Rx’r for better SAT reception when the phones onboard Rx’r just won’t cut it. The app eats up battery quick so when using it for extended searches/Nav, make sure you’ve got an external battery.

Name says it all

I know if I have this app on my phone and my phone in my pocket I can just start driving down a new trail some where in the bush and use this to get back later.

Isle Royale, MI

Great app. But where is Isle Royale, Michigan? The roads are there but the island is missing.

Excellent update for an excellent app.

The latest update is great! You can add GPX files directly from safari downloads via the share sheet. I couldn’t be more impressed with the app. I really appreciate the customer service. Prompt responses to emails and delivering the goods World class work. Thank you

Dark Mode glitch

Deadhorsenomad

Hey developers, When using dark mode, all alphanumeric values in ‘tracks’ will not display. The portion of tracks that I can edit will only display emojis and nothing that I have written or what is programmed to be there prior to edit. The bottom segment of tracks that I can’t edit remains visible in either mode. Just thought I’d let ya know?

Excellent

Gundog55

I’ve used this flying across the country as a pilot and in the mountains hiking. No cell signal needed and the ability to leave a track so you can follow it back out.
