Path descriptions including pictures are really helpful. Unfortunately the app stops working 30% of the time and sometimes the text of the previous page is displayed on top of the current page making the instructions difficult to impossible to read. A shame as otherwise a good concept for an app.

Awesome app, had this on my iPad for years now got on my android. Reason initial download is large is because it loads the maps to your phone so they can be used off line when your on a mountain with no mobile reception.

All kitted out, comfortable boots, ready to practice my navigation and have a great time seeing everything for myself. All from one handy app! Glad i had wi-fi to download it though, it's pretty chunky, but that's because there's LOADS on it!

This app was installed on my Galaxy S3. Then when downloading the 180mb maps it went crazy and used up all 750mb of my monthly allowance & its only the 4th of the month. I have no more data. It is a defective app. I am NOT happy.

Purchased with a view to trial on walk, but fails to even let me browse a map in detail. Unfit for purpose on "my" device, but must have been ok on their test devices I hope. Expensive app, that also requires it to download another 150mbs of map detail. That's fine, just make sure you are on wifi !! :)
