As an avid South African explorer I can't quite explain how useful this application has been! Being able to see your position on trails at national parks all over the country is a game changer both in terms of safety and general easing experience. I do have some suggestions for minor feature improvements: 1) ability to select multiple segments in a row to add up total length of a hike 2) add photos and small inscriptions of points of interest like waterfalls - this could also be crowd sourced.

Interface is great, maps load fast. Trail markings and points of interest are clear, GPS updating is accurate and fast. Arcgis base layers are great! I like the idea of being able to have the maps downloaded in the case of having no mobile data available - but with no data connection the app won't go past the login screen. The ability to record your own route, either following one in the app, or a new trail, would be useful.

Love the app. Just started using it and what a pleasure to have all the trails in one place. Not to mention that it is by thatlr the most extensive collection of trails and routes I've ever come across. Having the parks and reserves neatly organised makes for very easy and quick viewing and access, and the offline feature works great. I'd give it 5 stars but I know they are growing and improving every day, so leaving that last star as a goal.

I found the app very useful. All the necessary info such as the distance of the hike, contact info and permit costs for the different hiking trails are easy to find. I can suggest the developers add trails of the Banhoek Nature Conservancy. Looking forward to seeing how this app evolves and adding more trails in the future.

The offline map is great and you can see your location on it without being in cellphone coverage. Been able to plan many new hikes with it. The information is accurate and useful when doing the planning.

Easy to use app that lets you navigate almost all national parks and areas, offline and in real time. The app gives emergency details, distances and areas by region.

Just downloaded and not used yet. I want to know if there is the ability to report issues or probkems on routes for others to see, similar to Waze. For example if there are thieves or rock slides etc.

Cannot move the map, it gets frozen on one position. The ui and design is also horrible. Take a look at competing products before you spend the money on app development!
