Ratings and reviews

Navigated me through canals that have no entry sign and no indications of dead ends, no pass signs or one way traffic That's the whole reason I installed this app because otherwise Google maps is enough. Also no ability to just navigate to a point on map.

Why have temporary toilets for koningsdag listed in July? Extremely frustrating to look for a toilet and realise it's only there ONE DAY OF THE YEAR. Updated 03/09/23: down to 1 star as swimming event blocked canal near scheepvaartmuseum. No indication on the app that this was occurring.

Would be nice if the app would let you take screenshots - as an English speaker I need screenshots to translate the Dutch into English otherwise I only understand 25% which isn't useful. Also none of the contact links work - they go to dead pages.
