Ratings and reviews

Very good, accurate tracking and has plenty of features even in the free app. I rarely do this, but I paid for the premium version because there were some tools that I needed that weren't available in the free version. My only suggeation for the app would be the addition of a tool that shoots a line in the direction you're looking. Would make it easier to certify that what I think I'm looking at on the map is what I think it is.

Looking for an app that would let me plan routes to follow with a compass without having to plot it on a printed map. This app would be perfect if it would allow me to find bearings between two points. (It will give me a bearing from current location to a spot I pick, but it does not let me get bearings between two landmarks or waypoints without me physically standing there) which in turn is useless for route planning before you go on a hike.

I've been using gaia for years. It's the best mapping system I've found for offroad and overland driving. The move to a monthly subscription by merging with a company I never heard of and don't care about is a bad move. Not sure I'm going to renew my subscription when it's up. I don't do monthly subscriptions in general - they're financially a bad idea. I much rather pay for period x and nothing renews automatically. For the app 5 stars, for the new premium model: 0 stars.
