### 4/5 — Enfin !!

*2022-07-27*

Enfin une réelle alternative au application de carto militaire pour iPhone ! 
Carto en ligne, hors ligne, à importer, c’est top. Gestion des calques ! 
Il serait bien d’étoffer la gestion des traces et pouvoir créer des groupes de traces ainsi que des zones, pas uniquement des traits ! 
Mais ça fait plaisir de voir enfin une appli comme ça ! 👍🏻
