Ratings and reviews

Works, but that's it. I use it only for registering points. Almost no configuration options. What makes it almost unusable is the fact that every single time I open the app, the whole map is downloaded again, it seems like it is deleted upon closure. The map seems to be not segmented, so zooming in causes the WHOLE map to be downloaded. Using online map from orientering.se is way more comfortable.

The older version of the app was better. Now it wastes several minutes dowloading the map, and it does it all the time.

Great app for the intended use. I would like to have the option to use standard symbols for posts (circles) and draw lines between. Intended use is: viewing orienteering maps around cities included in the project. You're not supposed to use the GPS, except if you are totally lost. The background map is a general purpose map (not intended for orienteering) based on OpenStreetMap (OSM) which is a community based mapping project. If no one is mapping an area the OSM is empty or not up to date.

What's new

We continue to improve the experience for our users. Among other things, we have made improvements to the background downloading of maps. In addition, we have made some minor bug fixes that we hope will improve your experience.
