last version

last version crash when import .map
please fix it

Promises lots, delivers little.

As others have said, does not import OziExplorer maps (even the really old ones) as the seller suggests. In-app calibration causes crash before calibration is completed. Have not managed to get even 1 map done.
Authors suggestion to use bitmap s/w for cal also does not work. Pity.

Awful

Crashes everytime you import a geotiff!

Works with Rooftop (jpg) maps

Took a punt on this as info was vague and not much supporting info on web. Developer "suggests" it might work with ozf or ozf2 files for calibration, but it does not.

However, once you work out (via iTunes) how to upload the map jpg, calibration of the imported map was very easy. Basically just overlay your map with the inbuilt google maps (line up some tracks or dams etc) and click save and your done.

I thought it works well as a locator - as in where was I on a bush track. Didn't use any other features.

This is a fantastic navigation app

This works without a cellular connection. I have loaded all of the 1:250k Geoscience Australia map series, it is available free of charge on the net. I have loaded 1000s of KML waypoints from Google Earth. I have created tracks in Google Maps and recorded tracks around the Pacific in cruise ships using the world base map that comes in the app. I uses it on planes when flying across Australia to see where I am. It is an unbelievable app that is simple to use and highly recommended.

It does not support Oziexplorer maps

I purchased it based on the advise it supports Oziexplorer ozf and ozf2 formats. As far as I can tell this is not true. I have tried ozf2 maps created in 2006 and even those it will not import. DO NOT BUY THIS APP IF YOU EXPECT IT TO LOAD OZI MAPS. It is a rip off.

Not OziExplorer map compatible

I got this app because the blurb said it was compatible with OziExplorer maps. Well I have tried heaps of them (PC and CE versions) and not a single one will import with the calibration info. Very disappointed. It's a pity because the app looks good despite that although it has crashed out on me a few times.
