Way to slow rendering maps. Pyrolysis needs work

by Lost In Idaho

I bought this for the ability to have the map stored in the iPad 3rd generation while driving the Idaho Bitterroot backcountry on forest roads with no cell coverage. The detail is there but I found it nearly worthless as a practical tool for finding your way around. Map has to be zoomed way in to get the forest roads to show with names/numbers that relate to the small numbered signs you find along the way but when you zoom out to get perspective all the roads disappear.
All the default settings seem designed to provide a spinning flyover 3D game type display that may be fun to look at when you are sitting at home but it's worthless when you are sitting at a trail intersection in the woods trying to figure out which way to go.
At the very least, there should be a way to STOP the momentum function from flying all over the place and disable all of the silly tilting, sun angles, shadings, seasons, pre-sets, jetc. Way to easy to inadvertently touch the screen in the wrong place or manner and send the map careening out of control or changing to something totally unrecognizable. If your finger lingers a bit too long it goes into "joystick mode" and you're lost, upside down, and off the map again.
The free "you need a map" version covers the entire country and will do the job better unless you want the spinning 3D flyover type stuff.

I just downloaded the update. 3d is neat, I suppose. However, I like my maps in map view. There is a long tradition of maps in mapview. The problem is the only way to revert to mapview is turn on the sunlight icon. Please get rid of the sunlight icon, it's useless. It interferes with and obscures the map. Afterall, the map infomation is the reason I bought your product. The moment the update comes out with the option to turn off the sunlight icon in mapview. I'll re-review. Also every update that doesn't give me the option to turn off the sunlight option. This review will be reposted to keep it visible on itunes.
