GPS app good for
use it often, the maps are a nice compliment to google map, and no adds, its pretty darn good - maybe integrate compass headings next
I was looking for an app that would provide me with an aggregate of the GPS data, especially altitude (which Compass doesnt show). This gives exactly that, and a little bit more.
Only reason I can see for reviewers giving this a 1-star rating is consumer confusion, as GPS has become a generic term associated with software that provides directions.
This app is not to show maps or give directions. It is to give coordinates, elevation etc. and does it well.
I am very happy with this app. I always read negative reviews before positive ones when I buy something to compare the complaints against the praises. I agree this is not a direction finder as much as a historian - I use it to keep track of my walks and give me a record at the end.
If I could suggest one improvement it would be to have a trail line follow me on the map, but thats a minor thing. Fun app!
I love this app. The screen is easy to read and gives you the vital GPS and altitude information. KISS keep it simple stupid and they did a great job.
Some bad moments
When we move the map, the map isnt refresh completely. This make the application unusable. 0 stars
negative 5 stars if possible the map doesnt work, it wont show my location they just show me gray lines sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo terrible plus i need to be going like 30 kph before they even register it please fix the map part most importantly because id like to get my moneys worth
Worthless! Tryed 5 times and each time it just locked the phone. Using iPhone G3
OMG! Who (besides angelina jolie, for her idiotic tattoos) wants to know their latitude and longitude??? Thats it??? Oh wait theres more! An inaccurate speedometer...thanks. I can afford an iPhone but I cant afford to repair the speedo in my 75 chevy van...this will be perfect for that.
Who ever did this one should be hung. This did not even work. And then you cant have you cell on in the plane. Duh!
This app would be better if:
- the user could select the coordinate system on the fly, by tapping the Coordinates window, thereby bringing up a selector wheel with various formats, e.g., decimal degrees, hour/minute/second, MLS grid square, etc.
- there were a preference setting to make recording of history optional.
- the "Sleeping" preference were named something more descriptive; perhaps "Sleep Disable" would be more clear.
- it said "Satellite Signal Not Received," rather than displaying inaccurate coordinates.
And PLEEEEZE... lose the serif typeface; it belongs on a 19th century typewriter, not in an iPhone app.
