1. It seems that the last great series of maps was the USGS 24000 topo quads during the photo revision era before maps were digital.
2. One important note: if you are using it to record tracks on a modern version if Android, then you must exempt the application from battery optimization, or it will get killed in the background.I have been using the Pro version for many years and found it to be very useful.
3. I wish other app creators would copy this excellent follow up service.5 year gold plan subscriber here, would love to be able to leave a positive review but alas cannot.
4. It seems most practical to forget their outstanding quality and move along to the new world of custom maps where no one map has all the info you would want.
5. The forest service maps aren't as good as they used to be but sounds like they're working on it as a third party withdrew.
6. Wish the developer would abandon XE, add vector maps to PRO and provide a reasonable alternative to Caltopo.
7. Missing roads, utility lines, trails all kinds of things shown on the pre-digital maps.
8. It seems to work well although not always extremely intuitive, especially in getting maps downloaded for off-line use.
9. Found another app for my Forest service maps.
10. I started with MotionX, then went to an Android phone and BackCountry Navigator, so I have some experience.I use it mostly for day hikes in new areas near or in National Forests in the Colo mtns.
11. Powerful tools for drawing and measuring on maps (for when you want to know how much farther it is).
