Incredible Nav

The map and GPS features are insane, so good! This is the future of climbing navigation and beta repo

Sucks

Super buggy, hard to use, looks terrible

Saved my life

I found so many boulders with kaya pro that I could never find without it.

Good for not getting lost!

Although you are at the whim of the guidebook author to provide accurate GPS coordinates, this app provides an easy user experience that eases the process of finding new blocs. The beta videos are also a plus

Bad offering for Kaya pro. Not enough locations

I got Kaya pro because I climb outdoors at many different places. Locations I have wanted that they didn’t have:
- Fontainebleau
- Magic woods
- red river gorge
I feel like for top destinations like this, there should be maps and offline maps. That’s the main reason I got Kaya pro.
