Ratings and reviews

Doesn't really work well. Trying to plan a trip with a GPX I imported, but it's making it difficult to see any details on the map while having my route open at the same time. I can see the trail but not what towns it runs through for some reason without closing the route and only looking at the map. Its annoying to go back and forth. Wants me to pay for offline mode..was excited to use this app at first the app also doesn't translate. I can't find where I'm supposed to sleep!

Utterly impossible to figure out. Help files are completely wrong. The buttons and menus shown in the help do not exist. There is no distinct between the desktop and phone app help, so neither is ever correct. Even showed a T...p ad! Absolutely disgusting. And of course their response to this review is the boilerplate "email service" which means , "Go away. We do not care about ViewRanger lovers." Terrible replacement for ViewRanger.

Terrible both in form and function. Used VR until the day it was shut down, then cursed this "replacement" for the next 3 days of hiking. It would randomly zoom out to continent scale and stop tracks. Distance traveled has been moved to a small status bar and only displays ft/m units, which is worthless on a multi-mile hike. So much more that just doesn't make sense for the backcountry user. Will gladly pay subscription fees for CalTopo to get a usable GPS interface.
