Manually creating and saving a POI on doesn't seem to work at all. No wait, it does work, but it just doesn't make sense! Paddle shown on overlay map, but never sticks after hitting Done, it just disappears. Instead you need to click on the paddle icon again. Oh, and don't accidentally hit all those ads that almost covers the menu bar. And where is that CSV import export functions advertised in the description above? Unlikely anyone will stupid enough to spend money on the Pro version after trying this one. 2.8 MB for putting a pin on a map! No thanks. And why are Lat/Lon shown to 15 decimal places, when a GPS lock will never be better than ~5? Is it really accurate to subatomic scales?

I can build a file, and save it, but it saves the CSV file with the Cords in quotations. My Garmin won't recognize the data because of this.

Doesn't search comments. For the price of the pro I'd expect it to handle tom tom POI (or at least import them). Can't add your own icons. Time consuming to pick icon (no favorites and long list).. POI are sorted by name, no filtering and no sorting by distance, pin etc. Should be able to click on filename to change. Can only choose one poi file. Can't move POI. Should use "hamburger" for menu.

I will not be updating the app, don't agree with the new permissions requested, too intrusive for my liking. I installed the Lite for now in my Nexus 7 and it works as advertised, the only fault I find (should be easy fix) that the Map doesn't give the user options to change to Satellite view. Since the Nexus 7 doesn’t have a SD Card I created the folder in dropbox and it works just as well.

Wish it would allow me to select what routing/gps app I'd like to bring the POI in to. Opens in G maps which is native, but I prefer Waze.

I hope they integrate car parking app. & this, combined into one great multi feature app. Making this app more useful and vehicle parking, quickly stored; this has the ability too manually mark & store various locations, which is good for a lot of situations.

Good idea but bad performs. Flooded with adverts, to get rid of what they ask you to pay $14 something. 1/5.
