Photo direction errors
All in all working in offline mode functions pretty well after you have enough experience to figure out all the quirky non-intuitive issues. For example, the photo direction (I.e. - exif data) is apparently not captured when you actually take the photo but when you “add data” or “update point” so if you change direction to take the photo the direction arrow in your field report/photo log will be off. Or if you hit “update” point while in landscape thinking you are refining your location and direction, your photo direction in your photo log will actually be off 90 degrees since the app is set up to lock it in while holding it in a portrait position (so you basically need to first rotate it back to portrait position and hold your phone at as close to the same direction in portrait as you took the photo in landscape to lock in the correct direction)….very annoying it doesn’t just use the exif data the moment a photo is taken.Show less787978797879
When your life is on the line
One of the better maps is one based on “National Geographic World Map”.
What’s better about it? It shows a lot more permanently flowing water sources. And we all know that you can’t live 3 days without water. You’re on your last legs due to dehydration. And there’s a small stream only 1/4 of a mile away.
This app and a National Geographic World Map could be the difference between life and death. Call up the app and do a couple of screenshots of the area you’ll be in beforehand with streams that don’t show up on Google Maps and the like.Show lessJohn Goodin
Consistently Unreliable.
App locks up, or will give you unable to submit notice and no longer function at least once a day. The cure is of course to delete it and download it again. Imagery is also out of date and of marginal quality. Otherwise it does what it’s supposed to do.TheydontwantYreview
