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. ### 1/5 — Don't get it *2017-10-14, version 3.1.0* 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 ### 5/5 — Simple but great *2015-01-18, version 3.1.0* 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. ### 3/5 — Agree it does what it says, but... *2013-01-01, version 2.0.2* 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. ### 1/5 — Gps *2012-12-11, version 2.0.2* Es una basura, no sirve de nada, no aparecen los mapas, me robaron $13 pesos, pero eso si la factura llego puntualizo ### 1/5 — Too basic to be useful. *2012-12-08, version 2.0.2* No ability to enter & navigate to a co-ordinate? Really? Don't pay for this app. Basic apps are fair enough, but this level of functionality should be free. ### 1/5 — Should have listened... *2012-11-10, version 2.0.2* Two of three "maps" are blank (unavailable?). The rest works as displayed. Hey, it's a PoS, but it was only $.99, and I SHOULD have heeded the bad reviews. ### 5/5 — Simple, accurate GPS. *2012-10-24, version 2.0.2* This app is great. I use it for my field studies for geology at uni. It works really well. Saves a lot of money over buying a GPS. Ignore reviews saying it doesn't work, those people obviously don't know what a GPS is. ### 5/5 — Great App *2012-08-17, version 2.0.2* Really liked your app. Does exactly as expected. I would like to see a box where you could type some notes and another button to save that note with the gps coordinates as a picture. That way you can save location details. Cheers. ### 1/5 — Gps *2012-07-27* Je les télécharger et je le trouve inutile et nul j'aime pas ## Frequently asked questions about GPS ### What information does this GPS app display?
