Ratings and reviews

Amazingly useful for walking - it helps me a lot to keep things simple, ie. Where am I? And where's the path? Keep it up! But would prefer a current gps location dot instead of arrow, which swings about wildly.

I'm fortunate that in the area where I live many of the local footpaths are shown on OSM - they aren't all on Google Maps. With this app I can walk the footpaths and know exactly where I am, I can also navigate and plan routes. It's very fast, even on my cheap entry-level smartphone, and it's very simple and reliable to use. Excellent piece of software!

I like this app. It is simple and fast to use, has a straightforward, uncluttered user interface, and, best of all, shows footpaths and byways in my area that Google Maps does not show. The only thing I find missing is a search facility. If it had that, I'd give it 5 stars. Kudos and thanks to the developer.
