Crashes each time I try to drop a way point. Other technical issues. App does not appear to be well supported. Should be free or discounted if you have the book. Cancelled subscription with in hours. Unfortunate, it has potential,just need work.

Cannot find simple search function. In the old app There was a very useful search function that I just enter the name of a lake and pull it out. Now that is not available. Which is a step down from using the book itself because it had map index. Now if I wanted to pull out a lake I need to find its coordinates from another map and then out it on this map. Which does not justify the new subscription fee. So disappointed. Wish the old app was still maintained.

edit: two emails sent in the last two weeks no reply. I'm waiting for your reply Wow, what a let down, from the last app. This one is terrible. None of the layers work properly. Old app would show over one hundred rec sites, now shows only two in the Kelowna area. Most of the trails are gone. Map sucks compared to old app. This is complete garbage. Canceling my subscription. You should of kept old app until you had a working app. Back road Maps has gone downhill. How embarrassing for you guys.

Disappointed ! This app still needs lots of work. Basic functions such as search, sync, download from desktop etc. are barely usable or missing. No instructions require blundering around until you trip over something that may or not be useful. Continue my subscription hoping it will improve. Releasing a beta product as a paid app is disappointing to say the least.

The map itself is pretty good. The webmap experience is horrendous. Trying to create a route with it is painful. Routes don't sync between devices, so what's even the point. App is missing some features. Can't export tracks. Can only view all saved tracks at once, not individual ones. Needs some work.

the map looks like a fairly low resolution raster scan. Moreover the contour lines are in FEET! How come it's not in METERS? | Earlier Review. Degrees Minute Seconds or Decimal degrees need to be an option for searching. You should be able to enter coordinates in whatever system you want without having to change it in settings and restart.
