I've used these maps on a few trips to France, and found them excellent. The 1 25000 maps have allowed me to use some very minor roads and chemins. All works reliably.

Not possible to export your tracks as gpx (via the app). Customer support points out to where the gpx files are stored in the file system but it is not possible to export/share it via the app. It does not show the speed graph once the tracking is complete (only altitude changes) Web site contains ads that are too much on the way. Overall it works pretty smoothly. It is nice to be able to take and attach photos on the track itself. Customer support returns back quickly

I use this app quiet often to track dowloaded routes or even plan my walks before I start. Works great in tracking and adding photos on the track. Only negative point for the moment is the saving of your recorded track when you finish. If the track is long or contains photo's the saving is very slow... Seems like it wants to send it directly to the cloud. It even happens this process hangs and you lose the entire track. Should be better to save it locally first and try to upload at a later time.

When this used to be called Geolives, although the mapping component worked brilliantly with IGN maps, the whole subscription and account management service was very confusing and it wasn't clear which company you were dealing with and the website was quite muddled up and inconsistent. Unfortunately this has recently got worse now that the product appears to have changed its name to 'SityTrail' (even though it's primarily for use outside of cities ?!) and the Android App account doesn't mirror the web based account. There doesn't appear to be any configuration of this App. As soon as it opens it's stating that I have no subscription despite me having paid for one via the phone App (my PayPal account confirms that I've paid GeoLives !). Not surprisingly if I view my account via the web it doesn't recognise that I've made payment either. Overall, this is a bit of a mess, which is a shame as the Geoportail service is class leading and turns a decent phone like an S2 into a very useable sports GPS device. I might update this message if the developers improve things a bit - they can start by telling me where my Paypal payment has gone !

Disappointing world maps. The official trails (GR, GRP, PR) are not indicated unlike what is advertised. It is only the records of individuals' hikes, which may be quite different from the official trails. Moreover, to see these markings, one needs to zoom in to a scale of 1:25000, which isn't useful to get a big picture of the trails.
