Ratings and reviews

After several years of using and recommending to dozens of friends, I've got to downgrade my rating and I've stopped telling people about it. Two reasons. First, just recently it stops tracking mid ride. The app still thinks it is tracking, but it is no longer leaving my track on the screen or recording my distance. I'm still having to physically stop the track at the end of the ride, but it doesn't update. It has now happened three times. Second, there is no easy way to report a bug that I see.

Great for navigating offline. Other app make you pay to download offline maps. This app had a lot of free maps for download. only used 12% of my battery over 6 hrs of tracking me. The export function is very nice for viewing on Google Earth or analyzing in Excel. may 18 2025 update: although they still have great maps for free (usgs quadratures) you can no longer download any of your own custom maps on the free plan. supposedly your allowed three but I'm being allowed zero, very sad.

Offline maps are great and the community database is terrific. Lots of free maps as well. Only complaint is the search function seems to be broken. I have searched for the exact name of a known park and get the message "nothing found". I use the discover feature based on location and find it with the same name as I searched verbatim.
