This is it...The only GPS app you will need for backcountry activities! The PathAway team have done a great job of putting the backcountry at our iPhone fingertips.
***** This is it! - Goosilein - Germany
Perfect! This is THE off-road GPS navigation program in general. There is no better and certainly not at that price. For me, the most "killer features" now implemented.
