Quite baffling. It happily imports gpx files but there's no hint as to how you would start navigating. I can't find anything to suggest it would speak turn by turn instructions, even though it has a list of instructions. I'm not sure what it's for to be honest.

Not very accurate, cannot believe paid version is any better. Set way points then tryed to follow them back. Well they wer e out by about 100 yards ( that a low side guess) with would be fine on the flat cleared land, but add trees and land features not so great.

Great app.. I bought the paid version, then my phone died.. Do I need to purchase it again?

Generally serves the purpose, but the interface is so hard to use! And annoying features that keep popping up to ask you to upgrade.

I've been using the full paid version for several years now. It works well but I really need the ability to add my own icons for waypoints. Most of what's available are pointless and huge. A basic set of small different colored dots would be great.

Generaly useful. One issue I have is simple functions like goto or measure distances are buried and difficult to find. It would seem logical to have basic functions available from the home screen or main menu page. Another issue I have is the names of waypoints are in a small black font and difficult to read on a dark map. It would be useful to be able to change the font color.
