### 3/5 — Good map but..

*2017-09-28*

Lakes depths info is essential for topographic map, please add.

### 2/5 — Clunky

*2016-05-08*

Lot of work to do here - maps download very slowly. Like, give up slowly... Maps seem detailed but far to big and slow to load...

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2016-03-20*

Be careful. The price of the app is correct. But as Finnish maps are free of rights (open license) it is crazy to have to pay for a monthly or annual right of use. (very expensive). On the other hand the downloading is extremely slow and you cannot really use it. I found another app (same price) which is far better without rights for finnish maps which is a honest way of dealing.
