Really not very useful. A lot of space for little benefit. Also it boasts no need for Internet, but, it would be better to use other tools for research and map use of these areas. This simply gives very little for the space it takes.. Sorry.
Worthless as it stands with bad maps in limited areas with poor lettering and lousy graphics and repeated ad-cluttered pitches to upgrade, What's not to like??? Sometimes I think app developers are geniuses and sometimes, like these guys, are just either incompetent or con artists. Don't even give them the dignity if your click on. Sorry I did.
Can't use this this product since it won't download and install 1.51 even on a new purchase.
Who cares about the dessert ScenicMapGrandCanyon is lame
Next time I go back there I need to have the shuttle routes and schedules serving the various lookouts, and why not also thumbnail images/video clips so people can decide whether or not to stop there or hurry to the eastern side of GRAND CANYON or perhaps get something to eat...now that's ScenicMapGrandCanyon i'll keep
Terrible UI, non-responsive interface... Too bad, because apps like this could be very cool. Yes, it works, but it's very poorly done.
To answer Mark's question, it's 256Mb. Suggest you check your internet connection. Took me about 3 minutes to download and 1 minute to install. After playing with this for a while I'm sure there is more here than most people would ever use. Even on a trip to the Grand Canyon this would give you enough info to make your trip way more enjoyable. All the places that people never get to. Hell, I'm going this spring. See ya there.
To the previous brilliant reviewer...I care about dessert as it's my favorite part of a meal. As for the desert, if you've been to desert locales and/or are fascinated by maps and topography, you'll find these views extremely interesting. Now you can tell what's behind that inaccessible hill or mesa that you always wondered about. These maps would be great for hikers or riders plotting a course for business or pleasure. I just wish you had more New Mexico locales. Well worth the price.
I like it. Alot of attention went into the details. Unfortunatley the iPhone screen is so small it's hard to appreciate the true potential of ScenicMapGrandCanyon. I've been to the canyon and 3g isn't an option so loading could be an issue. But all things considered, including the price (FREE), it's a nice app.
It took less than 30 seconds to download over WiFI. My 3G data plan does not allow downloads over 20MBs. That might be the other reviewers issue.
I especially like the two finger map rotation. Really nice and extremely fast rendering engine in ScenicMapGrandCanyon!
I tried out ScenicMapGrandCanyon, and within days had purchased the full Eastern version. See my extended comments there. Get the one for where you live.
This is one of the most fantastic topo map programs I've ever used, and it is on my cellphone. If I only had this 40 years ago when I started backpacking. Roll Tide Roll!
For hikers and campers, I can't imagine how it could get better than this. It's a massive, extremely detailed map, crammed into your iPad!
I suspect that whatever people were complaining about before, is long gone now. Because the whole Scenic Map series has been very responsive on my iPad. This is absolutely a game changer.
It's very fast, very responsive, and has a clean, simple interface. The clutter-free UI is vital when you're carrying a heavy backpack, and you're in unfamiliar territory.
The fact that it's completely self-contained makes this a million times better for actual campers than any server side app could ever be.
I can take these Scenic Map apps with me, and I've got a permanent, complete map of every place I could possibly want to stop at, right there on my iPad, even if I can't get a cell phone signal (or much less find a wi-fi hotspot).
Now if the idea of a hiking destination that doesn't have 3G coverage sounds uncivilized to you, this might not be ScenicMapGrandCanyon for you. And you should probably stay inside the city limits, where it's safe.
This is the first decent replacement for a map I've seen on the platform, and it works great. Very fast. Very easy. Very responsive. I have no problem recommending this to everyone. It's a no-brainer for anyone who spends any amount of time outside. And this one's free! But even for the others, even at $10 a pop, they're a hell of a lot better deal than any of the paper and plastic maps I've bought in the last ten years.
Great job, GrangerFX!
