  • Gotta use it to believe it

    By yaro obba (Pcmac user)

    Update 2019jan: works on iPad Pro now, but doesn’t on iPhone XS, in fact doesn’t even save new paths on the latter. Old review, from back when GPS was working perfectly (it doesn’t get picked up anymore, which kind of defeats the purpose of the app): Works superbly. I had no idea that GPS continued to work even in airplane mode. Highlight of a recent flight was being able to tell we were passing by Hamburg before the pilot announced it.
  • Great for VanLifers, parents and teachers!

    By Logospraxis (Pcmac user)

    This free app is a fabulous resource for those hitting the road, but feeling a bit like they might be missing gems along the way. The local guides and references provided at the end of the narratives are a great way to dig deeper, too. Also a useful resource for parents and teachers who want to instill in their kids curiosity and an interest in science and history by starting with interesting info about their own city and neighborhood. Thank you Science Foundation!
  • Endlessly entertaining

    By sandrifting (Pcmac user)

    I’m a geologist who travels by air extensively. I love this app for not only knowing where I am at any given moment (gee, that’s Ohio?) but also for allowing me to really know what I’m looking at in terms of landforms, regional geology, ages of rocks, etc. Downloading ahead of time is brilliant and saves on WiFi costs. My only quibble with the latest update is that it no longer allows a dash to be used in the path name - so “DEN-DCA” is no longer viable; this seems like a pointless restriction.
  • Much Improved

    By Wayne Ranney (Pcmac user)

    I had an earlier version of this app and it was very clunky. Admittedly that was on an iPhone 5s. Now I have an iPhone 7 Plus. I didn’t use this app for a couple of years it was so clunky. But then recently on a flight from Salt Lake City to Phoenix, I happen to open it once again. It’s seem to work flawlessly.
