At least I didn't waste my money. ### 1/5 — Totally useless now *2011-09-17* Bring back the old one. This is so useless. There is virtually no service with which to get the GPS to be usable. I had been on many trips and it logged all of them and now they are GONE. What a waste. ### 1/5 — Great app gone bad *2011-09-11* This was a fantastic app before the update. It now uses GPS coordaintes to track your location, but there are a lot of places on the Parkway where there is no service. It's become useless. ### 1/5 — Crashes Constantly *2011-08-14* This app is now unusable. ### 1/5 — What happened? *2011-08-13* This was a great app before the recent update, but now it's completely redone, confusing and unusable! Bring back the old format! ### 3/5 — Nice App *2011-06-22* It's a nice app with general information on most of the overlooks or stops. I noticed some that had no information. Wish the information included the trail information such as length of trail and trail difficulty. ### 4/5 — Great app, would like to see other's photos *2011-04-26* This is a great app for anyone who likes to make frequent visits to the Blue Ridge Parkway. It is a great app to document your own visits to the parkway, however I would like the capability to see notes and photos from visits other's have made to each of the mileposts. As of now, I am only able to view notes I have personally added. ### 5/5 — Very handy when touring the Blue Ridge Parkway *2010-07-15* I ran into the guy who made this app at one of my first stops along the Blue Ridge Parkway. He had me download it and it was very handy as I continued along the Parkway. I kept notes about each stop and tagged photos to the overlooks. It helped me organize and revisit so many beautiful pictures I took. Kudos to making this app and for making it free! ### 5/5 — Cool! *2009-08-06* My family happens to own a house near the blue ridge parkway, and when I saw this app I knew I had to get it! ## Frequently asked questions about BRPTracker ### What is BRPTracker?
