Add adjustable map

Started with some college friends. Simple but fun. It’s frustrating that I can’t zoom in on the map, especially when our group is all so close together.

Response from developer

Thanks for the review! Adjustable zoom for the map is actually in the works, you'll be able to zoom in soon, which will really help when group members are walking close together. Thanks for reaching out!

Genius.

I LOVE that this app exists. I’ve always wanted to track my walks in alignment with the journey to Mount Doom, and now I can!
I have one nitpick and one recommendation.
The nitpick is I just started on the Bree section, but it still says I’m in the Barrow Downs? I found that odd, but it’s a minor gripe. I adore that it shows where you are in the journey and I was pleasantly surprised when I saw I was in the Old Forest :)
The recommendation is it would be cool if you could see where you are when the Fellowship breaks apart rather than just following Frodo because the path splits for various people. Maybe show Aragorn’s, Gandalf’s, Merry’s, Pippin’s journeys, too?

Otherwise, very minor things. I love this app and I check it every day :D

Thanks for the review! On the bug: the app showing the previous section instead of your current one, I'll look into it and fix it, thanks for spotting that. And routes for the other characters when the paths split are already planned for the future. Thanks for checking in every day!

Предложение

Добавьте ещё тот же путь, но в обратной последовательности (домой возвращение)
P. S. Ещё было бы неплохо путь Бильбо туда и обратно

Response from developer

Спасибо за положительную оценку и за идею! Сейчас в приложении сделано так, чтобы можно было пройти тот же маршрут заново и сравнить, за сколько дошли в прошлый раз. Возможно, это частично закрывает то, что вы хотели. А про обратный путь возьму на заметку!

Отличное приложение

Спасибо за бесплатную альтернативу. Всё в приложении отлично. Единственное, добавьте пожалуйста возможность приблизить карту
