Ratings and reviews

Its very useful when you have no idea where you are, i got kind of lost the other day and this app helped me a lot, also now i can take shortcuts between trails, as i can see where to go. One problem i have is that when i zoom in, there are a lot of black boxes on the map, i have to play with the zoom to see properly, other than that, it tracks me very well

I am in the woods all the time scouting and hunting. My last garmin GPS crapped out on me. I found this app and upgraded and loved it. I found it more useful and convenient than my previous garmin gps. It is very accurate. I love the may maps I can pick from. It has never failed me. Trust me unlock the full potential of the app and you will be very happy. Most of the bad reviews I see here are from folks that do not unlock the app or have no idea how to use it.

It was a great product for the first few years. However, last year, I had issues with it freezing up. I will be using a different tablet to is if it fixes the issue next summer.
