I used to love this app because I could use it offline and it didn't use a lot of battery but this latest version is awful. It doesn't keep up with my distance in real time and often won't load the last stretch of my hike so I can never get a complete distance of travel. It has also been very unreliable offline. Hopefully they can fix the issues soon. Edit: I uninstalled the app and reinstalled. I was also sure to check all my settings after install.its not performing any better, unfortunately.
This looks promising and has a well thought out UI, but one thing makes it unusable for me. It will not display in landscape mode on my tablet. On both the tablet and smartphone I run navigation apps in landscape. Too bad, hope this is fixed soon. GeoTracker app does landscape OK. As others noted, it also needs to be able to go north-up when the compass is tapped as Google Maps does.
I don't understand why since a few days, it doesn't work anymore?! It doesn't record my walk, but just the starting and the end and shows a direct line and the distance between these two points... ??? I use a GPS tracker for a long time, and I was hoping a smoothy tracing... not a right line. I precise that I use this app on a tablet (at first) and also, recently, a smartphone with the same result!!!
This is not a gimmick. It looks after the real need for a general hiker. It is simple to use, well documented, devices and battery friendly. I have one of those fancy GPS device but now days I use this app as primary on short trips. If asking me what can be done for a better product, I think make this app have the option to move to SD card may even better. Keep up the good work. Thank you very much.
I'm using a Samsung Galaxy Orbit, Android 8.0 .0 The compass feature doesn't work correctly. If the red arrow pointer is the indicator then it works fine going north and south but operates in reverse East and West. it would be helpful if the user could lock the image so that North is always up. If a user could use saved offline Google maps, that would be a useful feature for the future.
The user interface is sooo bad and absolutely not intuitive. Viewing a chart or the maximum speed is not possible.
I really like this app and it works better than the paid apps I have used to date. There are two simple feature improvements that would make this app even better; first, an option to display next to your blue dot either distance traveled or distance remaining; second, the ability to change the off trail distance. For some reason some of the GPX files don't line up well and it would be nice to be able to add an additional offset it feet so you could still use the alarm feature.
