Can’t read it. Awful user experience

The fonts are so large they cover all the roads making the maps completely useless. Don’t waste your time, you will only get upset at how bad someone can deliver a potentially good experience by providing you with a sub standard, non thought out and dated product.

Outdated Info

The App is a great idea. So much better than buying a guidebook. However the info on Namibia doesn’t appear to have been updated recently. The most current info appears to be from 2015. Some as old as 2011. If they kept the info current (or more current) it would be a 5 star App.

Crappy pixelated maps

These maps are not vector maps that allow you to zoom in. Instead they are pixelated bumps images which are too hard to use on 4x4 tracks.
WORSE STILL: the text is hard coded to the image, overwriting the map- you cannot see critical 4x4 tracks!
The app ended up being useless in critical areas. I'll be demanding a refund from the App Store.

TERRIBLE APP!

This app puts to shame the T4A maps brand. And look at the insane pricing!!!!! It's is a total mess. Completely unintuitive and the cheap and nasty map background doesn't change as you zoom in. E.g. I was trying to look at Victoria Falls (quite a major Town for people using this app) and it's completely covered by a giant 'R" (from Victoria) so no streets and corresponding data is useable. Seriously!!! Their navigator app is also ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE TO USE!!! T4A need to sack their app guy, or leave apps alone until they can produce something which doesn't damage the brand.

No ways!

I'm not sure who wrote the previous review. Clearly not someone who actually bought the app. I have been a T4A user for years on my Garmin and was hoping that finally, 5 years after the iPad had come out, that they would get this right, but they haven't! The map for South Africa is merely an image file, not vector based and therefore not properly zoomable. Do not waste your money till this has been rectified, I want my money back!

Poor version compared with Garmin equiv map

Garmin version from T4A has great depth and is routable, fantastic product. IPhone version cannot be drilled down to a fraction of the detail, and as advertised-is not routable, a very weak product in comparison.

excellent

Straightforward and easy to use. Highly recommended
