While the maps themselves are very useful (despite having many non-existing road and not having those that are there), the navigation app is a complete garbage. In fact, it could be even dangerous if you rely on tracking your movements. All of a sudden, your valuable track just disappears after the app crash, without being saved. The old app was a bit better in this case. A call to a technical support brought up a ridiculous suggestion to manually save your track from time to time. Second thing: if you have your tracks and points saved in an old app - you are doomed. Despite the promise to be able to see them in this app, the server they are stored is scrapped, and there is no way you can retrieve them, not by exporting them, not by "sharing" them via facebook or twitter. Third: interface, search - none of that is well thought or even working properly. My advise: stay away from this app, there are some others that use their maps, but have a decent navigation

We have not had this issue reported to us before, and we'd certainly like to work this through for you. Could you share the details at play@backroadmapbooks.com? And any relevant screenshots would be immensely valuable. Thank you.

The app was great and loaded very quickly. Now after their recent update, it takes ages to load the map and occasionally you have to completely close the app to reload it to get it to load new areas of the map. I've stopped my subscription and will try again after a new update and update my rating

Ok but not great. The tracking feature seems to work ok but there is no way to export your track. You can import a gpx but can't export. Also the web map feature on their website is so slow loading you can go for lunch and have a nap. Heaven forbid if you try to view one of the pro membership maps. I subscribed for a year, never again.

Thank you for your feedback, we will look into options for exporting GPX files for the future. Sorry to hear you were having issues with our Web Map loading slowly, you could try to limit the individual layers that you are interested in viewing as adding all Layers can slow down the Map's performance.
