Ratings and reviews

It's a good start. Few features i'd like to see before I seriously consider using over Avenza PDF Maps: 1. Compass. Currently, the location is only shown by a blue dot. Avenza provides the direction I am facing. 2. Zoom in! I need to be able to zoom in more 3. It would be great if it could display multiple maps at the same time 4. Downloading multiple maps/mapsets at once 5. General bugfixes. It doesn't seem like anyone tests the android version. If I enable my location blue dot, it doesn't allow me to view any other portion of the map.

What's the point of making these maps if we can't even view them in any detail beyond "zoomed all the way out." Showing my gps position on a map that covers a more than 100 mile radius is pointless. How did you expect us to follow these trails if we can't view them in any detail?

This would be useful if you could zoom in enough to read the map. Also, the app only works in the portrait orientation and won't switch to landscape which is limiting and annoying.
