Ratings and reviews

Lots of good information in this app. I'd like for the app to return to the same "zoomed" in level instead of returning to the "default" level. It takes you back to the "default" view and you have to zoom in again to look at the informational item. It would also be great to a PC version.

I guess I thought this app would do more than it does. It'll show you high level map views of each of the river systems. You can zoom in but only so far and not far enough. I thought it'd have information on River segments, timings, etc but there's none of that. It will show you waypoints such as landings and good information about where they are. It will also show you information on major river features. So if that's what you're looking for, it may serve your needs.

Great resource! I've got all of Joe Cook's Georgia river guide books but this app is a wonderful addition. The books still have info not in the app, but the app is so handy! I used it a couple of weeks ago to do a section of the Hooch that I hadn't done in a while so I'd forgotten where the public river access was. The app gave me addresses and GPS coordinates! The app also shows water gauge readings, points of interest, rapids/shoals, water quality, and so much more! Thanks so much GRN!!
