There is a built in compass, a map log where I can record my discovered mushrooms, and I can easily post my trophies on FB with a photo from the program and a brief description of the mushroom. However I cannot post my own photo, therefore I give it 4 stars. Also, I would love more mushrooms to be included and would be willing to pay more. This was fun and simple to learn to navigate! Buy the upgrade from BoletusLite and you will see! ## Frequently asked questions about Boletus ### How does Boletus identify mushrooms?
