Ratings and reviews

Obviously, the "go-to" for the vast majority of people. In terms of standing for map apps, it's among the best. However, along with any and all other map applications/programs you might use, it's depiction of our world is potentially questionable in comparison to the reality of the situation. Additionally, there are many places where the images are of poor quality or seem deliberately obscured often where much curiosity and human interest lies, doubtful by coincidence.

Update! Not good! I have read a lot of recent reviews, seems like they are mostly negative. I would agree! You used to be able to select your unit of measure, then bigin moving the map around and simultaneously see the measurement changing as you move the map. Now you have to select a point before viewing the distance. Please correct this. And PLEASE, when something is not broken, don't try to fix it! I enjoyed the app before this recent change.

This new update makes things unnecessarily complicated while removing features. Now, the screen looks cluttered, tools are more clunky to access, settings are impossible to find, and there's a new black bar at the bottom that is impossible to get rid of. The biggest mistake is with the measuring tool. It is now stuck in meters with no way to change it to any other setting. The Earth is HUGE; why not allow me to use miles or kilometers to better visualize scope? CHANGE IT BACK!
