### 1/5 — New forest

*2023-10-02*

It maybe a great app if your in England, but I have tried for two days now and can’t get North America. Not worth my money and will be asking for a refund.

### 5/5 — Very useful for walking

*2020-10-16*

For years we have followed trails in books wondering where all the footpaths we have passed lead to. Now we know and can follow our own routes.

### 5/5 — Like it

*2020-07-13*

V handy, detailed maps.
Helped me track routes through forests and find out distances.
Wish I could get one for Dorset.

### 5/5 — Good detailed maps for walking

*2019-12-01*

Great maps fo New Forest area. I use it to prepare local walks I lead under the Walk for a Health banner. Easy to use once you find your way around the menus.

### 5/5 — Fabulous

*2019-09-23*

Such a great app, I was offline in the forest a few times but the app was still perfect, definitely without this app I would of got lost a few times, totally recommend this app with its detailed maps, you literally can’t go wrong

### 5/5 — So useful!

### 5/5 — Fantastic app

*2017-04-05*

After using several maps and apps, I've settled on this one. I use the app all the time - it does exactly what you need an app like this to do and it does it in a simple and easy to use way.

### 5/5 — Super duper

### 5/5 — Great detailed offline OS maps

*2016-10-13*

These are the best detailed maps out there and the route planning is the easiest to use from all the apps like this I've looked at. As you zoom in the detail increases right the way down to 1:10k.  The comprehensive search and hill details is amazing too with every detail of every hill covered (I've not found a hill that's not included).

### 5/5 — Great App from great collection

*2016-10-01*

The map detail combined with GPS and the excellent new route planning functionality (including gpx import/export) make this app a very useful aid to a traditional map and compass. 5* 👍👍👍👍👍
