Works good but could be better glitchy voices correctly but screen shows wrong St sometimes, I navigated from work to a st called Forbes Blvd got me there but said I was getting off highway on my work st 30miles away. Wish you could report & receive issues in the road ahead like Waze/Google maps such as road closures,pot holes, debri police etc like to have that! be nice to have access to my phone contacts that have addresss saved in them to easily pick from them to navigate like MapQuest app.

Great start. I like the design and function of the map. Works well and easy to use. The daytime view is a little washed out looking and could use bolder secondary roads and names. Does not show closed roads. Speed display doesn't always show and the map seems to take a while to settle after making a turn. Gas prices are not up to date and should be updated daily at least. Would like to see crowd reporting built in.

The latest update is horrible. Illustrations are cartoonist. There are addresses in my file I never ever drove to and not all of the ones I have. I don't know where that extra stuff came from making selections from a list that has places I never traveled to, finding the right one is difficult so i have to entered them again. used scout for years and years. I see people complained about the font size, well... now it's now so ridiculously large that it fills my whole screen. Don't like update.
