Muito Bom

Só não dou 5 * porque o mapa não roda para indicar a direcção do percurso...

Nice app

Map should rotate for better navigation, will give 5 stars when have that, anyway it's a good app.

Great

It does replace a standard dedicated gps. I am using it for offroading and it is fantastic. Good features: great integration with google earth (kmz). Great offline navigation. Very easy to use. Nice to have different paths visible or hidden. Includes maps of the entire world free of charge. Only minor suggestions: 1) better way of downloading offline maps. It is not very pratical. It would be great to overlap your route with offline map downloading feature. Overall it saved me 200euros because I did not need buy a garmin device. Great app!!!

Interesting App

It's an interesting application but needs some improvements. The (it seams to me) SIRF Altitude correction is missing, whish makes the altitude information useless. As an example, my Garmin 60CSx shows 90 m at my place, the same as my HTC p3600 when in Oziexplorer CE with SIRF Altitude correction. When the HTC is not using the correction it shows the same altitude as the iphone with GPS kit, i.e. 145 m. It will be nice to have information of the satellite constellation, like in a "real" GPS or in Oziexplorer CE. Also a unic dashboard field with Latitude and Longitude (together) and of course UTM Coordinates in WGS84 (for starting) would be nice.

Great Application

Very nice application. I am loving it. It only takes 4 stars because there is a small bug on Dashboard. If we select the Directon (and Bearing) window there is wrong indication on Bearing. Example: - if we are heading northwest the direction indicator shows NW (which is correct) but the bearing shows 135 degrees (which is wrong) - if we are heading southeast it shows SE/315 degrees - if we are heading south it shows S/270 - if we are heading east it shows E/360 - etc
