Map import not working

Doesn’t work as expected, no possibility for a refund

I want my money back.

I load in maps and calibrate them and they are more than a mile off. When you put the extents of a map it should land exactly where it belong. jpg maps can be seen fine but when I bring in a GEo PDF, it puts a worthless background in with the PDF and you can’t see the topo lines on the map and all of the text, which is all you can see, is so pixelated you can barely read it. Very disappointed.

Just ok

I’ve been using this app for a few years now. Its not too bad but there is what I believe a serious flaw. Occasionally, when you start the app it will not locate your GPS position. If you are within cellular coverage and turn your data on it will immediately locate your position. If you are outside cellular coverage, bad luck it will not show your position. The trick is to turn on the app while you are in cellular coverage and leave it on. I have reported the problem to the developers who did respond that they would look into it which of course they have not. Why would they, they already have my money. The same problem has occurred on an IPhone 5, 6 and 7. Its not the phone and all the other GPS apps I have work fine. Don’t rely on it if you are outside cellular data coverage.

App ok, support link broken

I've used this app since it's previous incarnation (Bitmap). It is fantastic for importing your own geo-referenced maps.
Only complaint is that the support page listed in the description is no longer available.

Response from developer

Hi, The support pages are still there, they are just located here now: http://www.rocketsplashgames.com/mapsntrax/maps-n-trax-user-guide/index.html http://www.rocketsplashgames.com/mapsntrax/support/index.html Thanks for your support!

Does it all - but Opaque Toolbars?

What's with the new opaque black toolbars? I know you were having some issue with iOS 10 compatibility (opaque white top toolbar) but this is the wrong solution! Toolbars should not obscure the map. And it makes the translucent status bar (with map visible beneath) look a bit silly. Come on... fix it properly! Please. :-)

This is the only app I could find that does both raster and vector maps as well as both online and offline maps, including custom online maps, not just the Apple or Google online maps.
