Keep improving! USFS created a very intuitive, user-friendly app, and solicits feedback! I love: - Speedy, smooth displays of map, while zooming/panning. - Forest Road descriptions with a tap on/near the road!! See what vehicles are allowed, whether high clearance is required, rough or paved, etc. Can't get that on USFS Motor Vehicle Use maps. - Touch & Hold "zoom circle" lets me read fine print, like road names, on maps. REQUEST: Make map Legend available at all times via button tap.

Large and often difficult to find what I'm looking for, but when I get there, it does provide a lot of useful info: motor vehicle use maps - MVUs - old logging roads, for the most part; campgrounds; areas where primitive camping is allowed - which they call Dispersed camping; picnic areas, etc. Because it's such a huge file, I usually uninstall it after I've found what I need, and reinstall it when I need it again.

EDIT: changed rating to 5*, not crashing anymore. Great amount of detail included in these maps, and I trust it'll be updated regularly by the USFS. Super useful.

I have to say that the app while giving us general locations it does not allow me to open up the spots that I click on like the web page does. There doesn't appear to be gps to the area which would really be helpful. One of the most frustrating is the app freezes up and pops me out of it entirely. I hope they come up to a 3.0 to take care of these issues as I see it as a primary app in my travels. UPDATE: I have the 1.2.2 version

I have used this app multiple times while visiting national forests in CO and UT. The new offline map and locate me features are great when lacking a data connection. When my cell signal is weak, I just put my phone into airplane mode. The app updates to disconnected mode quickly creating an almost seamless experience. In addition, most capabilities continue to work while offline including search and identify which is really helpful especially given the detail in the data set.

the map I believe is very excellant. shows places where to camp at, among other items that are very useful. maybe a nice feature would be able to download a portion of a map to your phone to use when no internet connection (maybe it's there have not came across it at this time). other wise I would give it 5 plus stars. thank you for those who did such nice work.
