Buyer beware. I just bought this app and I can’t get the app to sync. No maps. Useless.Developer Response
Apologies. Unfortunately, there was a server fault which prevented operation of the application. This was recently identified and corrected, and additional monitoring has been put in place to prevent a repeat of this incident. The app should now be fully functional after performing a SYNC operation.Best $3 I ever spend
Was worth it just for a day. Going to use it in a few weeks to do the whole towpath.Don't work on ipad
Bought for iPad - this is an iPhone app. But it should work. Why not? Nope. I tell it manually that I am at mile 58 (harpers ferry) and the amenities listed at that location….. none. null set. nada. Love the website. This is a GREAT service. Not upset if I pushed a little money to the author of the website as it is wonderful. But it no work on iPad.Show lessBuggered
Crashes every time you select a button for services, lodging, food, etc. Only the GPS map option works, which is unnecessary since markers are a mile apart and easily seen on the trail. Waste of money and useless on this trip.Excellent app!
Great app for finding things along the canal!.
Need a NATIVE app for Blackberry 10 OSMy favorite biking app
Most of my "long" rides have some component of the C&O involved… this app is a super helpful resource if only to answer the question I usually have: "where the heck am I?" Knowing where the closest H/B campsite is relative to my current location… where the closest "civilization point" is… super useful. If you're going to be on the C&O for any reason, for any length of time, this is a tremendous resource. Worth every penny.
UPDATE Oct 2012 - I am honestly puzzled by the one star reviews. I've never had a problem with the app, and I've used it many times from mile 0 in DC all the way to Cumberland. Still my favorite biking app, and I wish there was a comparable one for the GAP!Show lessUseless
I was looking forward to using this app while on the C&O. Unfortunately it didn't work at all the entire time I was on the trail so it was useless, a waste of $2.99. Every time I loaded the app it said that it was looking for my location. All of my other GPS based apps worked fine but not this one. Really disappointed.Show less1.1.1 does not work with OS 6, yet
And I'm going on a ride todayHandy resource
Great app -- highly recommend it to anyone riding the C&O towpath. Invaluable for figuring out what's nearby and determining H/B campsites on the fly. Even though cell coverage is spotty along parts of the C&O, my network was always available, making this app worth the money. Thanks to whoever put this app together!Show lessExcellent resource
Really good information in a convenient format. I do wish it listed shower facilities for those planning to stay at H/B campsites.
