3 ★ Was very happy with the app until the most recent upgrade. Speed screen no longer displays in digital - analog dial only. And the world map does not expand to fill its frame when screen is rotated to landscape orientation. Both issues are annoying!

2 ★ I liked the large digital speed display that this app used to have. I used it all the time. I will NEVER use the new version.

1 ★ Upgraded version is a backwards step, no digital speed readout. Please restore digital option.

5 ★ Great for seeing how many satellites the phone can utilize. The time however is one hour behind as I'm on Pacific Standard Time.

5 ★ Probably the oldest app I use. For a while they did a bunch of ads that were fairly intrusive. But those are gone. Overall, excellent app.

2 ★ It's been 2 months since AGPS request failed and can't list any satelite. Any advice?

5 ★ Nice tool! Don't understand why it displays reciprical heading.

5 ★ I found even the basic app was useful in determining elevations, and direction. Used correctly I really liked it even tho I didn't use it very often. Thanks

4 ★ Bug alert: The circular digital speed panel will not allow me to change units from km/h. Update: circular speed panel works. Thanks!

4 ★ Very good app, have been using it for over 10 years! Please add an odometer, though, it's the one missing feature!

4 ★ Finds satellites but searching for gps won't fix, constantly searching. Galaxy S4

5 ★ This app will give your exact position with bold graphics in 'OSGB', 'Lat Long', 'Utm' and others by changing the 'format' in 'settings'.

4 ★ Fixed issue with excesdive adds. i Updated my review to reflect this. A thank you to the developer as this has been my prefered gps app for many years.

1 ★ Couldn't get it to display anything. Gave up. Uninstalled it. All screns appear but 0 satellite data. Permissions show allow location. Taskbar shows location tear droop not grayed out.

2 ★ I paid for the software in late June this year for the upgrade features, but after just one month, for the latest update, it asks me to pay again. Is this reasonable?
