Could be better For 10 bucks you get some stuff the other similar apps do not offer... however, the zoom has terrible clarity compared to a couple others I have seen... good but not great, still useful.

Not good for Canada It is a good app...sort of! Canadian maps are very outdated beyond 1989..... If offered a demo, I would have gone with a free app instead and not wasted my money. Wish I could get refund, but takes longer than the 15 minutes to just show a map and lock location. The maps advertised and short refund period make this app a good scam.

CRASHES! ... Doesn't work on my Galaxy Nexus Failed to show return route during Mtn. snowshoe'g This app failed to show/redraw my route when returning from a deep back country Mtn. snowshoe hike. Left me searching for the trail ... NOT GOOD! Map downloads are ridiculously slow and too limited. Constant failures when trying to download maps. My DroidX has GIG-Bytes of avail. space yet this limits me to a few hundred MB of map download? The app's display redraw is lethargic! This app has promise but falls short in a few critical areas. Hope to see fixes
