Bisher super

Benutze es nun seit einer Woche und ich habe mich schon umgewöhnt. Es ist anders als base Camp, aber auf dem iPad sehr gut zu nutzen. Durchgeführte Tracks muss man leider manuell abspeichern, aber auch das klappt inzwischen. Was besser ist als vorher, ist die Speicherung der Touren und Wegpunkte, gilt auch für die Sammlungen. Inzwischen schon mehr Touren und Wegpunkte als vorher zusammengetragen, macht mehr Spaß und ist übersichtlicher. Auch die Bearbeitung zwischendurch im Urlaub auf dem iPad macht Spaß und die Übertragung auf alle Geräte ist dann super. Tread für MAC wäre noch das i-Tüpfelchen.
