Tilt support

Amazing app! I use it on every trip I go out, I use the Radar imagery during the polar night too see smooth ice and rough areas and the live imagery to see cracks, thin ice, and broken ice floes at the floe edge in the spring! its saved me lots of time finding the best way through. Just one thing, can use guys make the maps be able to use it horizontally, the phone in landscape? My snowmobile phone holder is horizontal. It would make it easier so I don’t have to tilt my head when driving to see the right path

Satellite Images

It provides pretty easy access to satellite images I use for navigating.

App

This app has greatly helped myself during many hunting trips and long distance travels especially in a not so great weather. I recommend using it as much as possible out there

Yay

Best app on earth

Misleading names

Great job on the misleading names for Iqaluit area and further out, and you guys should never change the names on the land there’s a lot of place where you guys changed the names, if a hunter breaks down and gives the wrong name using the app how are people supposed to find him/her? 0 stars for this app it’s garbage
