Stops decent software being used
- automatically downloads large amount of data on cell network. (Can be changed but that is the default) - photos are resampled to too low resolution - mapping is largely nonfunctional - improving areas is difficult. The program decided to automatically update the ten states I have downloaded. While on mobile data. Stopping this means I couldn’t access those areas. Users have uploaded great topos for some routes, but they’re completely illegible because mountain project has resampled them to appropriate resolution for sometime last century. At least recent work means the photos aren’t regularly completely lost (although like I mentioned entire states still are). I’ve yet to see a single route with coordinates. The application has mapping but not way to download offline maps nor export coordinates to any of the offline mapping apps I have. Not many mountains in this country have cell coverage... Perhaps more routes would have coordinates if it were possible to easily provide feedback or suggestions for areas. However you have to have a mountain project account, which of course can’t be created or logged into unless you remembered to do it before you left service. Go check out TheCrag.com to see what a decent climbing repository can look like: maps with well defined areas and approach trails marked. Interactive photos that highlight the route of choice. (Sadly it doesn’t have an app but does allow downloading PDF guides of areas).
