Only missing one thing to get 5 stars from me
This is great for anyone planning a road trip. No the missing star is not for auto routing function (I have a gps for that).
The missing star is for a lack of a search function to pull in addresses for sites that you might want to go check out. When you are planning a road trip you end up coming up with all these great locations and ideas of things you would like to see. This app is great because you can drop a pins at all these locations, but you have to know where abouts these locations are on the map. It would be awesome if you could search a location and have that address transferred to your map. It would be great to integrate with 411, your address book, or google maps. As you are traveling around you open up your iPad and presto all the locations you are interested in have pin marks on them and you can see how close you are. Another click and your address book contacts populate the map and the notes has there name autofilled in it.
I would gladly pay the money that I did for the routes app to you if it had this function. This app is so close to what I was describing to a collegue just last week

Like it but accuracy is a problem
The idea of this app is good and it works well......apart from one major flaw - unfortunately the GPS itself is a bit out. I've tried a few locations in the UK and one in Portugal and each time the pin points to a few streets away from where I am. Google maps gets these same positions with much greater accuracy. Shame. A bit more work needed but a promising start.

Very nicely done but missing one thing
The guy just added the only item that I was missing from this app, so I changed my rating from 3 to 5.
The following was changed, you can now add locations manually.
------- the following is not true anymore --------
It is cool, but could be much cooler and useful if it allowed the user to add their own pins manually.
I went on a trip, but i did not open the ipad everywhere I've been. It could be useful to add the locations manually after the fact.

Good concept but...
This could be very useful. However it only let's you record where you are now. I couldn't find a way to put a pin somewhere else. It would be neat to plot out a course and have notes for each point etc. And it would be cool to be able to handwrite notes.
Serves an interesting purpose, but…
I'd like to, as mentioned earlier, be able to move my pins. In addition, it would be extremely helpful if the pin locations gave the longitude and latitude coordinates. I could then use the information to geotag my photos in Aperture. Thanks for fixing the low memory messages. It was kind of annoying.
