Had the lite edition on my old phone without add banner. Now, on my new phone a banner appears on the top. What is the difference between the free and lite? Edit: Adds are gone (like magic) very happy now. We live on an island in the Muskokas all year and blizzards and thick fog occur frequently. Our only way to and from home is by boat. This app gets us to were we need to go reliability and accurately. The interface is as good as it can be for the features it offers.

Thanks for the update! Just to note, this can occur if you have purchased one of the other levels seperately (LE, Express, or PRO) as opposed to in-app upgrade from the free version.

I Uninstaller as it was to difficult to use and it looked like its from 1989 with the graphics. As a company making a map keep it basic, and make the graphics better as it looks like a Nokia 3120 with a defect GET IT TOGETHER.
