Confused

I like the app. Works as described, but I do wonder why a straight GPS app needs full internet access to function... One thing: can the developer or anyone guess as to why the phone screen goes black when attempting to put it into a waterproof case. Happens only with this app...

No response from the developer on anything. That’s the reason for the rating.

Don't get it

Might tell you where you are but does not tell you how to get where you're going, unbelievable this po crap is even listed with gps apps

Simple but great

I love this app. The screen is easy to read and gives you the vital gps and altitude information. KISS keep it simple stupid and they did a great job.

Agree it does what it says, but...

1. It would be better if one could choose the projection (eg UTM), since this could become a useful alternative to buying a standard GPS. It would also enable one to have readings that were compatible with other GPS' working on the same project.

2. It would be nice if one could substitute other maps for the one that is built in.

3. Me McRae acknowledges open-source contributors. It is a shame therefore that he does not have a facility for feedback, which can provide another mode for public contributions.
