Best thing about this app: easy to use, with most useful functions for off road. Can't share trails :( Worst thing: don't know what's the difference between paid and free version until you come to use a certain function. Didn't know that I couldn't have more than 3 way points in the free version until i was in the middle of the desert!! O.k. we had other tools but....
