Customer Reviews

Why buy extra hardware! (5 stars)
I go hunting all over and found this app better than any other hand held I used. We found that this app lock in on my position much faster than my my hunting partners GPS. He went back home and got an iPhone just so he can use this app. Just wish it worked for other phone os.

Stellar performance and UI (5 stars)
I am a real person that uses GPS, I have show many colleagues that the iPhone has a real GPS in it and works offline with the right app, this works.

One more update and more features than anything else out there!! If you are looking for a full fledged GPS solution look no further.

This app is by far the best GPS App on any mobile device. I use the app for Mountain Biking, Geocaching, Jeeping, and just keeping tracks I want

Couldn't ask for a better GPS app (5 stars)
This app is the best out there for GPS. If you're serious about navigation and maps then this is the app for you. The UI is so well thought out and intuitive. I have never been let down by its capabilities and highly recommend it. I use it in the mountains, on the ocean, in the city, in the desert and it works everywhere. The different maps that you can view and cache are the best out there and really add to the flexibility of this app.
