Ads seem to crash the app from time to time. Otherwise excellent app. Would be nice if buttons appeared at the bottom rather than top. Also info on top seems excessive. For example how many people care about actual lon lat numbers? Same about exact compass degrees. Unclear how to delete unnecessary way points.
