Ratings and reviews

If you're trying to make a sharable map and add custom pins for different business types, then this is the app for you. You can also add colored zones with a very accurate and easy-to-use zoning tool. You can then view your custom map on Google Earth under Projects or on Google Maps via My Google Maps. I do wish zones had a transparency option so they didn't blend in with the pins of the same color. Other than that this app is great.

So far, so good! I wanted a tool to mark feral fruit trees and shrubs as I find them. This app is accurate and intuitive. The one GUI aspect I'm getting used to, is moving the map around to set the pin instead of moving a pin around the map however, this provides better accuracy with my 'fat fingers.' This is important in a rural/ag area, where property lines determine what's public v. private property. Easy to edit POI and details.

Surprisingly useful niche app I can't live without after discovering. I use it to 'bookmark' parks, nature preserves, trails, specific beaches, and other places difficult to track on the other map apps. I also record trips and hikes on it. You can kinda do this on Google Maps, but this is private, and versatile - organize & tag locations into folders, add photos, write notes, add any custom data fields you want. Bit of a learning curve but the dev is very responsive. Hope he keeps it up.
