Very good, simple and efficient!

Just a tip for The developer: you can do the app allow open the route for a saved point no GPS apps like waze, googlemaps, maps-apple.

Quite good

This app is simple but quite lovely for those who love to travel and geography. You can pin your places and most of the time your location is displayed quite exact. Two major suggestions are the following: 1. Adding different colors to the pins and 2. The option of sending all the information to your email for all the pins at the same time instead of sending it one by one. This app is totally worth to download. Easy, reliable, and almost does not take your space. Recommended. P.S. For some reason it doesn't show the names of the pins on my iPhone but does on my iPad.
