Pros and cons of Outdoor Navigation app for iPhone and iPad

Outdoor Navigation app good for

Everything seems to work as it should. Some of the tweaks needed: - Option to Auto-Save large tracks (lost 100km of tracking while message was on screen for large track file). - File association to open kml files from e-mail (as other Aps have). - Ability to download Google maps to IPhone memory for offline use. -Ability to save more than 12 Tracks (There seems to be an issue here). Otherwise, very impressive compared to WM version.
If you care about your safety on the road/off the road or you are in hostile environment - it is application that you MUST have... Works perfectly on iPhone 4/5.1.1

Some bad moments

Cool app but cant get gps to turn off so it drains the battery. Would be nice to turn gps on and off or tracking on and off within the map
Tried working with support since the original version. Two updates later -- ETE / Target Distance still do not work.
Downloaded after reading a glowing review online: have yet to make any sense of this feature-dense app. So difficult to use and not at all intuitive. When you open your iPhones Maps App, one tap and it finds your current position. In Outdoor Navigation, tapping Your Location takes me to somewhere off the coast of Western Africa. Every time. I have downloaded a number of map "tiles" that correspond to my city (Vancouver BC) and still cannot pinpoint my location. Oh Man........ So far a complete waste of money but hey, Buyer Beware - my loss.
An exercise in frustration, is the best way to describe this app. Exporting waypoints one at a time is got to be the most frustrating thing about this app. As well it does not put geotag info on the photos, so the only way to get the information is from the waypoint.
Definitely the best outdoor app availble today. Lots of useful tools packed into one app. Bravo, thanks!
This is a really most usefull outdoor app, but WHY without most important thing , IMPORT ??????????????? why really ?
