Itinerary mapping could use some help.

The mapping of the itinerary has one big limitation: you can't pick a start point - it requires you to use location services and picks the start point as the place you're currently located. Now, I'm currently 1,000 miles away from the Blues Trail and would like to evaluate routes to different markers ahead of time. Can't do it, as my current location is so far away. The itinerary mapping is only good when you're ready to go. No preplanning allowed.

For any Blues fan, this is a 5 Star app

This app is very intuitive and informative for anybody that loves Blues music. The itinerary feature works great. All you do is click on the Blues markers you want to see, click on the “Add to Itinerary” feature. When through, click the “Itinerary” feature. From there you can click the “Best Route” feature, and you trip is set. Aside from that, the wealth of information this app offers, gives any Blues fan a deeper understanding of the music.

Promising, but serious glitch

Like others, I have had issues with some of the features. Every time I try to work with the”Itinerary” feature, the app just automatically closes. I wouldn’t bother with this one until they fix it.

Itinerary map doesn’t work

Selected numerous markers to be napped under Itinerary, but when I hit the button it just kicks me out of the app. Bummed.

Terrific App!

Love it. The documentary blues videos are wonderful too. I want to travel to many of these sites some day.
