Open failed Last time I went hiking, I couldn't use the app. The icon was missing where I placed on the screen. Was able to find icon in apps, but when I clicked on it, it opened the browser which said I had no connectivity. Eventually got a gprs connection, but took a long time to open web page, which gave option to reinstall app. Clicking on that took to android store which timed out. Later started working again, once I had high speed service. Tried again later, now only bounces between web page and store!

Works good now. New update killed this app and just took a couple of days for them to fix it. Works good now. Maps seems to load faster and more accurate position.

Fantastic I've had lots of fun so far. The help menu has lots of good instructions. I love that it has the usgs Topo maps and not just terrain map with no georeferencing. I also love the ability to mark with a waypoint and/or picture and/or video, all 3 if you like. Tons of great features. In may I will try my first upload of a trip after hiking through grand gulch and the Anasazi ruins of cedar mesa.

Sales Pitch Not an App Open the program and the first thing it does is try and sell you more stuff. Then it wants you to register for the online stuff so it can spam you. The "app" part is small - there are free programs that are better. You can not download typos, but they do cache (apparently). If you have money to burn, buy it but try it quick so you can get your money back. This is the worst purchase ever for Android App...
