Great bones, terrible UI
Bug: Stated waypoint elevation is actually your current elevation.
This app has allowed me to hike Volcán Corazón in Ecuador and Volcán Maderas in Nicaragua without guides (the trails are on the map). Its also great for dropping Points Of Interest in other countries when traveling without cell service. The maps in this app are awesome, it has Google, Apple, and Microsoft, but the MotionX maps are what I use for hiking. They have all the trails Ive ever needed in the US as well, which is amazing. Im going to Nairobi and Tanzania soon and will be using it there as well.
Unfortunately the UI is a massive mess. Confusing menus, some very odd methods to get to certain information, for example waypoints can have photos and descriptions attached, but you cant get to that area of editing from clicking on a waypoint on a map, you must go through a different set of Waypoint Menus. There are also buttons in odd places, like when you go to download the offline maps, the download button is hidden at the top, while there is text at the bottom of the page, where youd expect the download button to be, telling you to click the word download at the top of the screen. Crazy. Probably the most capable app Ive ever used with the least usable interface. Thus its a must have, but could be waaay better with a redesigned UI.
Love/hate this app. But mostly love (thrilled it exists at all). Just has so much unrealized potential!
