### 5/5 — Fantastic❕

*2024-04-12*

I have been privileged to travel a lot of the world 🌎, but missed what I take for granted every day, God’s amazing creation, that is Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿.

This amazing app is part of a series, that lets you choose your interests, then gives you suggestions, with some information, photographs, contact info, opening times, and prices. The app then allows you use your preferred SatNav (Apple/Google) to plan your day, press Go, and your tour starts.

I have discovered & learned so much, on these road trips about my home country. Whether you are local, a tourist, or just inquisitive, a cyclist, an electric car driver, a proper driver, or hiring a motor home; everything is thought out in this app.

Fully recommended, and I’d like to give a personal “thank you’ to the developers, for opening my eyes 👀, to the beauty, and history on my doorstep, that makes me proud to be Scottish 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇬🇧, because let’s face it, there’s not a lot to be proud of these days, so make the most of it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 1/5 — Nur A9?

*2019-09-03*

Entweder ich bin blind oder die Map beschränkt sich nur auf die A9... als Karte für ganz Schottland unbrauchbar. Orte wie Glasgow werden nicht gefunden, um eigene Routen zu erstellen? 
Falls ich zu blind bin, ist das Handling der App echt schlecht.
