I've used this app for years for hiking, snowshoeing and skiing. Easy to use. Easy to download maps for future use offline. Tracks speed, time, altitude and other stats. Automatically saves tracks. I wouldn't go without it.

Great app! I happily paid $10 for the Pro version. I've taken 6-7 hour canoe trips and recorded my track the entire way, sampling every minute. No battery issues. C'mon Crittermaps, get a real outdoorsperson to completely overhaul the waypoint icons. There are way too many icons for urban places like "butcher" and "theater", and the icons for REAL usable outdoor places are poorly done. And you should add a Google Drive backup feature for people who don't use DropBox.

OK, I bought an even newer Samsung Galaxy and it tells me it isn't compatible with it, it was still working fine on the Tab 3 (finally gave up) but not compatible with the Tab 4. Makes no sense to me. I cant even find requirements on their site... **I've used this for a good while and have had great luck with it on my Samsung Tab 3 7.0. Its dang accurate and shows you off trail pretty quick if you get turned around! I am curious however, does BCN work with GPX files such as those from Funtreks?

Ok. I use Thunderforest maps a lot, particularly open cycle map, and they recently stopped working, going behind a paywall. I paid the subscription but they still don't work. The map just shows the base map with none of the open cycle map overlay. Can I have my subscription money back if it's not going to work‽

The best mapping and GPS app on the market. It has worked flawlessly for years and I push it to it's limits. I keep it on when out exploring and/or metal detecting and have saved all my tracks and waypoints with related photos for years. So easy to use and customize. UPDATE: Due to changes in the Android system and the failure of support to address the issue you can no longer choose a photo located in another folder to associate it with a waypoint. 10 years of work down the drain.
