Big Pete Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 I understand that there will be a Lite version (free app) as well as a pro version ($3.99) with enhanced features as ride share, track your group etc.Ā 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't find any towns out east (D1), as an example.Ā Ā I paid the 3.99 plus tax and the detail popped up.Ā Ā I jumped ahead, bought it, but here's a quick comparison: Ā Basic - little underlying detail. Pro- detail. Ā Basic- gave option of downloading area ' tiles' for non cellular use ( I didn't click....to verify). Pro- download area tiles. Ā Basic- 2 finger swipe to change map orientation ( to see the trail as you're facing it) Pro- same ----- Ā If anyone spends more time in basic, advise. The features I'm most interested in, on the paid version: 1. "Follow me" ... pinpoint where I am like a typical gps ( Rider location on gos, share and group rides); 2. Trip planning; 3. Measure distance. Ā Looking for corrections to last year's issues ( TOP trail logos ( e.g.) blocking out town or road names ); other issues identified by revrnd and irrev. ( and others). Ā It has a way better feel to it than last year ( android user ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks good so far and pinpoint feature and knowĀ where you are when there is cell service is worth it for 3.99.Ā Most towns have cell service when approaching so be useful to find your way in and out and on lakes be useful to find access trails as you come off and on. Especially on lake musoka which someĀ of it is not staked. Edited December 2, 2020 by Strong Farmer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AC+YA Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Bought the app for my phone and was checking to see if any routes had been updated closer to the actual trail routes.Ā Noticed that the map used is old and misleading by showing the āno longerā Ker-Linās General StoreĀ with a fuel pump in Searchmont.Ā Hope nobody counts on that.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manotickmike Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Not going to hold out much hope, but not going to give up on a $3.99 app.Ā There's no reason to have a less than stellar tool at our disposal.Ā Our neighbors have a beauty right next door.Ā There's ZERO need to re-invent the wheel.Ā 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
