I really WANT to like this app.... (1 star)
I wrote to Trimble sharing my concerns about a recent trip during which I used this app. I will post their response and ammend my rating if they resolve my issues... The app showed that my trip was over 30 miles (when it was just over 5), and drew a line from my finishing point back to the start after I synched it to the website, ruining the clarity of the trail I had just mapped! (unrelated to the "30 mile" issue, as they two poin

Don't waste your money. New update is worse than it was before. (1 star)
Interface was supposed to improve. It's now even more difficult to navigate around the app. Lost my Yosemite and Yellowstone maps from the old version. Now I have to buy them. I'm a big fan of Backpacker and Trimble, but this app is strike two. I wish I could get a refund.

5.01 update (1 star)
I thought the old version was awesome. I used it for almost all my bicycle outings. Just down loaded new version, it is now a useless app. Seriously pissed off. What a PILE!! I want the old version back. Please. The review made me give it one star which it doesn't deserve.
