Amazing app so far! We’ve used it to map out our whole trip and then we’ve been using it the whole week to navigate down the Llangollen canal! The only suggested feature add we had was to have it where you could select a start point and end point for the day and then do a start navigation mode to track progress and distance, speed, and time to destination (including estimated arrival time based on speed) in real time as you go. Otherwise it was great and we used it all the time during our trip! We’ll definitely be planning another canal trip in the future!

Purchasing pro version doesn’t activate boat tracking feature which was the primary reason for purchase. Have shut down phone, deleted and re-downloaded app, restored purchase over and over all to no avail. Demo mode persistent and re-displays demo tracking data every time regardless of above attempts. Could be a great app.
