Ratings and reviews

this app is good. Being able to save for offline use is a very important feature. The map shows what percentage is available offline-- it would be easier to have a global overview so you could see what areas are already saved, and be able to name them like in google maps-- thanks

I was a longtime Viewranger fan. Call me cheap but I don't want to pay a subscription service for an app I might use 4 times a year. This app has a very clear design, I spent $10 for great map coverage (perpetual not subscription) and within 15 minutes was out jogging in unknown territory with clear route tracking. Seems to be everything I need. After the hike I wish there were some additional statistics such as total elevation but still worth the 5 star review

Generally very good and my best option as a replacement for Viewranger, but I would prefer the arrow indicating location and direction to be clearer (Viewranger used to have an excellent, very sensitive long arrow showing exact location and direction you were pointing towards). Also some basic info like MPH would be useful, or am I missing something about where that is shown?
