Have been using this app since 2012 (obviously an older version back then) and was very satisfied. The issues encountered mostly had to do with some of the map tiles that were saved in my device which didn't show on the screen; I used to think that this may be my device's problem so never made an issue out of it. Today, though, I started the app and none of the map tiles (all 62GB saved on my device) show. Apparently the company has issued a new version and with it they have locked the use of maps which may be unlocked only after buying the full version of the app. In other words this is not a free app in more. I am not naive, I totally get it when a company wants to capitalise on their investment, but what if a person using the free app woke up a morning in the wilderness only to find that their navigation tool is free no more, so they essentially have no means of electronic navigation any more... A little thoughtfulness on the company's behalf would have gone a long way...
