Great for my work!
I am a game warden on the water in Maryland. We deal with areas of the water where commercial fishermen are not allowed to harvest fish/shellfish. I love the easy waypoint system! It allows me to mark each area off so I can easily refer to this app to make sure watermen are supposed to be where they are. I only have one suggestion I would like to add. If you could make it possible to add lines/tracks from waypoint to waypoint, it would help me out a lot! Thanks!!

One of the best GPS apps for backcountry
I’ve used this several times where AT&T coverage is poor or doesn’t exist. Being able to see where you are, have been and going is one reason to carry a ‘smart’ phone only instead of with a handheld GPS. Just be sure to download and update the maps for where you’re going BEFORE going ‘off the grid’.

Worked amazingly
I used this for a school project when we had to go geo caching. I tried multiple different apps but none of them seemed to work. When I tried this one It worked. The next morning i went and took a look at the cache and it was there. Thank you for the awesome app. If I didn’t find this I might have gotten an F.
