Excellent App. Pity one cannot switch off Mobile Data and use WiFi only. I carry my WiFi router with me as the rates are much cheaper than Mobile Data.

Looks like it will work as good as a more expensive GPS device? It is too late in the evening to go walking around or driving around to test it more thoroughly.

Excellent app. Works with phone vertical (as in car phone holder) which other competing apps fail to do.

This needs to have a search button for finding places instead of having to touch and hold from the map. Half the time i don't even know where the places i want are but if it had a search button, it would find the place in an instance.

Easily one of the best apps of its kind. And it is free. Seems impossible to get an app like this that keeps being updated at no cost. Perfect for marking a good fishing spot in the middle of nowhere. Thanks for all the effort you have put into this.
