No information to be found. So deleted app £1.99 wasted **Developer response:** Thanks for purchasing an app from our popular range. Thanks also for your feedback and for giving us the opportunity to provide a response. The observation of a missing feature is consistent with the omission of that functionality in the app description. You could create waypoints along the route to determine the distance. If you know the speed you’ll be travelling at then you can determine time using division (time = distance/speed). Hope that helps and you are able to gain some value from your expenditure. ### 3/5 — Very good *2018-05-31* I used this for the map quality. I would have liked a decimal point on the speed Also a good set of Points Of Interest And voyage tracking and sharin ### 2/5 — Needs a good internet connection *2017-10-25* Diddnt work for me as the Norfolk broads has limited internet coverage so while I can stream movies or google earth I find this map mostly doesn't have enough signal.it works ok if your near big towns or land based wifi..so lots of the broads has patchy internet on my iPhone 7 & iPad. I use 3 as a network & they are generally the best in that area. One other issue is despite brightness settings if your in the open air in bright light most screen maps are not great..ill just use a paper map & peek at Google Earth sometimes..better still take a satnav & you got speed too. **Developer response:** We have been unable to reproduce your fault but would appreciate the opportunity to work with you to try and resolve your problem. We have tested the scenario you describe and found it to work and so would like to be able to provide you with assistance. Please can to send us an email (the send email functionality is available on the support website, accessible from the App Store.) Edited 30/07/17. Thanks for establishing e-mail contact. We look forward to working with you to achieve resolution. ### 3/5 — Almost great *2017-09-20* Just finished using this app. Almost great. The one thing that as far as I can see that's missing, is the location of moorings! Last Wednesday, it was getting late, and I was getting desperate for a distance to a mooring. I need the location of free and private moorings on here!! Also, is there somewhere that lists the routes you have already plotted? I cant find them. I might be missing this, and it's actually on the app. If it is, can someone tell me how to find it please. Apart from that....Really good. **Developer response:** Thanks for the positive feedback. Re: you're routes query. The routes you've already created are accessible in list form via the right hand drawer user interface. Just pick on the drawer handle or swipe from the right hand side to the left. Also, there is a guide within the app accessible from the left hand drawer user interface. All the route management functionality is explained within the guide. Hope that helps. ### 4/5 — Finding places great once you change default to places not hills *2017-07-21* Have changed my review to this, great app but you need to change the default to places when searching for locations.it is set on hills for some reason when you first use the app. **Developer response:** We're pleased to read that our response to your previous review comment has resolved your place name search problem. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to address your problem and for updating your comments to acknowledge resolution. 👍 ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2017-07-17* Needs wifi to work, which if you've been on the broads is very hit and miss **Developer response:** The OS map and GPS related functionality don't need WiFi. However, WiFi is required to use Apple online maps, sharing location details via email and social media and import export of gpx files. If you would like any further guidance please contact us via our e-mail support accessible via our support web site. ### 5/5 — Brillant *2017-06-10* Just been to the broards this app was brill Accurate to the mtr inc speed of the boat **Developer response:** Thanks for taking the time to write a review and for the positive feedback. ### 5/5 — Highly useful *2017-03-26* Love this app. I'm going to get more from the series.

Highly recommend it... SnapChat prc157 **Developer response:** Thanks for taking the time to write a review and for the positive feedback. ### 5/5 — Great App from great collection *2016-10-23* When within the map region the app can continuously centre the map based on your current GPS location. 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*. 👍👍👍👍👍 ## Frequently asked questions about The Broads Maps Offline ### What is the price of The Broads Maps Offline?
