Good app
It's a nice fun app. Garmin can make a good free app. The problem is when you give them your money, like the streetpilot app...what you get in return is a big F-you.
Great app and free!
Can't beat the price (free) and the app is accurate within feet. If you have ever wanted to try geocaching you should try this app. Geocaching should be free and this app is helping the cause.
The aggravated
6 attempts to create an account. Each time very laggy and completely unsuccessful. With no indication whether or not it was a success until it wouldn't recognize my email address at login.
Nothing but aggravating.
