Most Recent Update

Why the heck did you move the search bar off the home screen? That makes no sense! Please put it back! And now all my most recent searches are gone!
Also, the map app selection is now malfunctioning! If I select Google Maps or Waze it only opens up Apple Maps and gives me a wildly incorrect travel time!
Overall a very bad update, please reverse it!

Response from developer

Scottster718 -- We appreciate your feedback! UPDATE: We just released a fix for mapping choices (v3.1.3). Search is in the More tab, and hasn't been on the home view since 2019 (when we added On Route). Recent searches are in a temporary device cache; consider using the app's "Saved" to keep places more permanent in your list. Thanks. - Roadside America

Money grab

The app is limited to your region. You have to pay more to unlock different sections of the map. Got this to plan a road trip but it was unusable because despite after already paying you have to pay more to see other regions. Quite misleading.
