Customer Reviews
Get current location is broken
When you hit current location the app loads the right map in the vicinity but there is no pin on the map, which should show the exact location. Please fix it. Besides that it's an awesome app. Perfect for pedestrian!
please fix the current location bug
i love this app but please fix the bug.
Scam
To download the maps for off-line usage you have to pay, that makes the app pointless
