need my money back

they never updated the app so confusing- not intuitive

Still one of the best

A powerful, well rounded GPS toolkit. If you need coordinate conversions and other options, the advanced upgrade delivers.

GPS & MAP TOOLBOX

Rubbish - Doesn’t work in UK ! Looks like con as it seems you have to spend £20 to upgrade for it to be any use.

Awesome

This app is totally awesome ok so the coordinate are excessively accurate but hay who’s gonna complain about that

Geldgier hat App schlecht gemacht

Die an sich gute App wurde in der letzten Version durch Geldgier abgewertet. Sogar für die Nutzung von Freeware wie OpenMaps und GoogleMaps soll man monatlich zahlen. Frechheit!
