Scenic Map Central USA App Reviews

Using on iPad 3G which includes the GPS chip. Since maps are loaded on iPad there is no need to be connected to a WiFi or the AT&T networks. Works like a standalone GPS! Great for knowing your exact location anywhere within the map coverage area. Unlike the typical auto GPS the App not only shows streets but also the local geographic. One of the best Apps I have purchased. Also have down loaded to my iPhone. Smaller screen but still works well.

Most importantly, update works and bugs seem fixed. Still highly recommended. I have both the Eastern and Western versions of this. Next summer I'll be traveling in the Central States, so I have now purchased this version. See my extended comments in the Eastern version. If you own more than one of these, be sure to upgrade them one at a time. It's a BIG download, but then again, how can it not be?

I am running this on an iPad 2 and it's a bit jerky. On anything slower it might be really slow. After I downloaded the $9.99 Central USA Map I realized it does not include my location (St. Louis). A quick check back on the site information doesn't seem to point out where the maps break. If you're buying all of them this won't be an issue.

Topographical Map navigation was straight forward with the GPS enabled. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is route planning. It would be very good to be able to draw a route and get information on that route (slope, elevation gain, etc) There is a way to do some basic measurements using navigation a

this app is awesome! not as detailed as a USGS quadrangle but a nice balance between topo and road maps. very easy to navigate and also has nice features like the ability to measure distances, get lat and long info and find the names of unknown features by hovering an icon above them. The file is enormous but where else can you get this kind of map coverage without having to depend on cell service or Wi-Fi? Highly recommended.

Works Good. Love it.

I've been updating for an hour now.... right next to the Router with full power. The update is about a fourth finished. I had the same experience with the first download.... Thought it would never download! Holds up using the iPAD ...and I have several other downloads "waiting". Since is the first in three I'm going to go to the other downloads (I did choose just one at a time, because of the earlier experience)...... The application is good...and the fact that it resides ON t

Please update for retina display! It looks horrible on new iPad ;(
