It’s a good app and has a lot of features. I love being able to customize the navigation screen especially when working with two gps formats simultaneously. Also, location sharing via text is outstanding and relays all the necessary information.

I don’t feel the UI is very user friendly or intuitive. For example, I am unable to enter coordinates from the map screen. I can place coordinates at my current location and at the crosshairs on the map, but I can’t simply enter coordinates from the map screen. I have to back out to another screen completely. And to copy coordinates from a website and paste into the app is terribly awkward.

In fact, having to enter coordinates quickly is very difficult because of how buried in the UI that feature is. If you’re geocaching and have all day to fiddle with the app to enter coordinates, then you won’t have any problems. If you have to quickly plug in coordinates from your hunting party, a mayday or dispatcher, use another app or gps.

Also, downloadable maps for app use independent of cell service would be helpful in poor coverage areas. Just a thought.

First off I did come from ATAK. At first it did feel a bit featureless. But after progressing by start of small like using it to plan a hike then to using it on the field for military exercises. Because I have an iPhone and an ipad, it is actually very easy to move points from one device to another and it’s great. The accuracy isn’t garmin level but for using it casually/a secondary tool/ an 8 dollar garmin is a steal. Now the reason why I give it 4 out of 5. I know it’s a bit selfish but please make an Apple Watch support. It would be a lot more convenient to view the navigation page and the points on the watch than phone. You would easily become better than my garmin. I know it’s a bit accommodating for one customer but as someone who doesn’t review, you would have a huge potential. All I’m saying is if Apple can have maps on the watch work, it can be done

I downloaded this and got going really fast. The active overlay and visible overlay took a bit to figure out but not a big hurdle. I used this to map location of items during a field test. Worked great. The challenge is using the files upon export. The icons used all translate to the basic point name. For example, I used green crosses for one position and orange triangles for a subsequent position. Google earth makes them all a single color pushpin once kml exported. GPX export rendered boxes. Luckily I named the point distinctly. Giving instructions on how to retain map attributes in the user guide would help tremendously. Otherwise note that all points will visually look the same upon export. This a a great app though. Excellent for on the ground recording and the accuracy is good enough! I’d definitely download and continue to use.
