Customer are Loving GPS Tracks
Fantastic - This is by far the best GPS app I have found. And I have tried lots for personal use and for my work as a wildlife biologist. Using this app, I no longer carry a stand alone GPS unit. Highly recommended.

App Store CustomerBest Map App Ever - I have used this time and time again in the oilfield and have never been disappointed. Once you get the hang of it this quickly becomes your go to getting some place. I have used it overseas as well Japan, and Turkey. I can leave a blue line and always find my way back. Even when you are out of service this app has saved my life more times then I can count. One amazing feature is the ability to save pins tracks and other information I often become the navigator at work.

App Store CustomerIf You Like Google Maps - You’ll love this app. Before getting this app I often used google maps or Apple Maps… long story short, if you look at various Satellite Imagery or maps often, and want to trace your steps via an assortment of map types, this is the app for you. The app provides lots of optionality and usefulness for me. Layout and ease of use is pretty darn good imo. Solid, for what it’s worth, I love this app and highly recommend it.

App Store CustomerGPS Tracks - Used for documentation for SAR K-9 tracking/trailing and human remains searches with law enforcement. Easily shared. Has a space for notes. Much better than the Mantrailing app. Has been a good replacement for Motion X GPS that it is no longer supported. Easy access to tech support.

App Store CustomerGreat Customer Service and Great Product - I’ve used this app to log sampling site locations for geology field work. It’s simple and intuitive. I came here specifically to praise their customer service. I had a problem where I thought I’d lost data when an expired credit card turned into a lapsed subscription, and sent an email to the app support. They responded very quickly and let me know that I could still access my waypoints just by signing in to iCloud — super prompt, professional, and kind!! I will definitely keep using this app for all my field work GPS needs.
