Scenic Map Western USA for Negative User Reviews

✓ Only select area have detailLow on detail compared to eastern version and other poducts.TerenchVersion: 1.6.1

✓ Unusable - Locked in Update ModeThis used to work OK on my iPad 1. Now it won't work at all, nor can I find a way to cancel the update mode that it's stuck in..GASF16Version: 1.6

✓ New interface nearly ruins a best-of-class app.I need an always-available, clear and simple flat map where I can see my position and the surrounding streets or terrain. For figuring out where I am and where I should head. I realize that glitzy fly-through POV interfaces appeal to children and developers, but - take it from someone who's been hiking, camping and skiing in wildernesses around the world - They. Are. Not. USEFUL. I don't need another "fly-through" app. I don't need another living room / coffee-shop game. Google Earth is fine for that. At the very least, it should be dead obvious how to turn off the glitz and return to the standard useful map mode. If the first interface a user sees is zooming and twisting all over the place and the user has to look for documentation to figure out how to fix it - and is still stuck with an annoying and pointless sunspot on the map … well, I guess it's time to look for a better app. Maybe MotionX has figured out how to reliably download and store maps by now. I tested several GPS / mapping apps when I got my iPhone 4. Scenic Map was the best for hiking and skiing in the wilderness because of its clear, simple, detailed, accurate presentation of maps and location info on the small screen - with maps always available. I've used it in unfamiliar cities and states for navigation on the road, and on roads far from cell phone access, as well as far from roads and even trails. People ask me what apps were worth paying for, and this is one of two that I always name. Or - named..MyriochondruleVersion: 1.3

✓ Great app butI love this app but i will use it more instead of other apps I am using now if they could only make a few changes/improvements: I want to be able to trace my bicycle routes when I get home and save them to my iPad photo, that will make this the best app in the market. Right now I prefer to use another app that I can mark and trace my routes by hand and saved to my photos, post to Facebook or other websites... otherwise the terrain and the ability to navigate is amazing.CeasarmmVersion: 1.4

✓ Misleading descriptionThe description says that this is an atlas "of the entire Western USA". Yet this is not true. You will note in the small print that the eastern edge of this atlas is at longitude W109. Well, my friends, W109 cuts OFF the eastern 99% of BOTH New Mexico and Colorado, the eastern half of Wyoming and the eastern third of Montana. These lands are ALL (in my mind at least!) essential parts of "the entire Western USA". Had I been better up on my longitudes, I would NOT have purchased this app..Johan.WittVersion: 1.1

✓ Do not buy it !10$ for this app,rip off,just get paper map from truck stop.Slow,not enough options..Tipi97Version: 1.2.1

✓ Its' okI find the street names hard to read or follow. No mountain range names ie Mount Rainer and no ferry routes? Hello? Lucky for me I am checking before I go on vacation. I sure hope future updates will improve this app. Otherwise I do not plan to buy any more from this as $10 is a little steep!!.Torn JeansVersion: 0

✓ Crap! Will NOT update.Would like to try/use this app but it's STUCK on the update and will not load! Worthless and frustrating! Do you even try/use your own app??.Karen GVersion: 1.6

✓ Retpd2001Purchased but it won't install on either my phone or iPad, please fix!.Retpd2001Version: 1.5

✓ Western US starts west of AlbuquerqueSeriously the maps are missing half of NM and CO. What a rip now you have to buy central maps to finish off the western US..Big brother10000Version: 1.5.1

✓ Nearly worthless appI bought this for the ability to have the map stored in the iPad 3rd generation while driving the Idaho Bitterroot backcountry on forest roads with no cell coverage. The detail is there but I found it nearly worthless as a practical tool for finding your way around. Map has to be zoomed way in to get the forest roads to show with names/numbers that relate to the small numbered signs you find along the way but when you zoom out to get perspective all the roads disappear. All the default settings seem designed to provide a spinning flyover 3D game type display that may be fun to look at when you are sitting at home but it's worthless when you are sitting at a trail intersection in the woods trying to figure out which way to go. At the very least, there should be a way to STOP the momentum function from flying all over the place and disable all of the silly tilting, sun angles, shadings, seasons, pre-sets, jetc. Way to easy to inadvertently touch the screen in the wrong place or manner and send the map careening out of control or changing to something totally unrecognizable. If your finger lingers a bit too long it goes into "joystick mode" and you're lost, upside down, and off the map again. The free "you need a map" version covers the entire country and will do the job better unless you want the spinning 3D flyover type stuff..Lost in IdahoVersion: 1.4.3

✓ DisappointedWay to slow rendering maps. Pyrolysis needs work.Desert travelerVersion: 1.8.4

✓ Missing map of ColoradoI live in Boulder, CO. I bought the Western USA Scenic map to use in Colorado. However, when I try to go to my current location in Boulder, a message pops up saying that I am outside the map boundaries, and that I need a map of Western USA. The map's eastern edge stops near Grand Junction! I reloaded and still have the same problem. I emailed tech support many times and waited for the last 2 months for assistance. Well, tech support is non existent as I never heard back..Mwong00Version: 0

✓ Money back pleaseThis is a very poor program. In my area there is a lot of incorrect and missing information, so how can I trust any of it. Names are wrong. Street names are wrong. Street locations are wrong. Streams are in wrong place and are labeled wrong. Campgrounds are shown that don't exist. Major trails in National Parks are not shown. Very poor effort and not worth the money. You are better off with a paper map from AAA..MtstomperVersion: 0

✓ Poor implementationThe concept of this App is pretty neat... first of all I'll give kudos to the visual concept. It really is neat! However, what good is a scenic map that does not identify all (or at least most) the roads? To get to some locations you need to have more than the major US and State Highways labeled, this is especially true if there is no 3G data network available, or you're using an iTouch or Ipad that does not have gps. The county roads and more heavily used Forest Service roads need to be identified in order for this app to really shine. If you all you need is a major highway map, this one is over price..Volutabrum maximusVersion: 1.2.1

✓ Too Much for the IPDI like maps. This took forever to download. While interesting, I'd just as soon have a USGS map to look at. After goofing around with it for a couple of hours, I deleted the app..JwygoVersion: 0

✓ Map Olof the western USTotally unusable. Navigation is broken. When you try to move the map it just spins in circles. DO NOT BUY!!!!.CookseytalbottVersion: 1.4.3

✓ Terrible mapsThe maps are virtually useless: 1- the text used is far too large and does more to obstruct the view than it does to help. 2- all the text is oriented horizontally and oversized leaving you to guess at which text goes with which street. 3- The "buildings" shown on the maps are little more than sat view outlines with no reference or naming for parks, malls, etc. 4- The paid versions offer no benefit over the free maps so download the free first, If those serve your purpose, you may be ok with the substantially overpriced paid versions of this app. DISAPPOINTED.RedRocks55Version: 1.2.1

✓ HeyI just downloaded the update. 3d is neat, I suppose. However, I like my maps in map view. There is a long tradition of maps in mapview. The problem is the only way to revert to mapview is turn on the sunlight icon. Please get rid of the sunlight icon, it's useless. It interferes with and obscures the map. Afterall, the map infomation is the reason I bought your product. The moment the update comes out with the option to turn off the sunlight icon in mapview. I'll re-review. Also every update that doesn't give me the option to turn off the sunlight option. This review will be reposted to keep it visible on itunes..Eugene HulbertVersion: 1.3

✓ South West not in western map ?Are you kidding me!? 90% of Colorado and New Mexico are missing from the Western USA map!! So now I'll have to buy two different maps and spend twice as much just to see what should already be included in this OVER PRICED app? It's hard to navigate and does not work as smoothly as most other map apps. Deleted !.CiscowbVersion: 1.6

✓ Dead in the water!Cannot update. Would love to, but the update does not recognize that the app is already using sooooo much space, so it won't download the update at all. I tried updating from my Mac without success. Looks like this app is now dead in the water...or on the lost trail!.La kathyVersion: 1.4
