DistanceMap for Negative User Reviews

✓ Great features, shame GPS is not correctBought this app to measure distances for golf. Great features and very useful to measure distances between POI's. However the map location is 500m out of sync to the GPS. Checked against google maps and my GPS position is correct. The maps need realignment!!!.Timo_HVersion: 5.2

✓ HelpThe trashcan in my bottom right corner keeps removing all my pins and not just the last one :( please fix.DitmarsCatVersion: 8.3

✓ It used to be greatUnfortunately after updating it to the current version it no longer zooms in anywhere near as close as it used to. Which is critical for what I was using it for. I used to be able to measure distance between telephone poles- you could see the shadow of the pole and mark the exact spot. Now when you try zooming in all the way you get black squares with no picture. If you zoom out slightly to regain the satellite picture there is not enough detail to mark anything. It is almost impossible to see the property lines, roof details, and edges of driveways that I used all the time to mark distances in the original version of this app. This app supposedly uses Google Maps satellite data but the Google Maps app allows you to zoom in far closer than this app now does. Unfortunately Google Maps does not allow you to measure distances which is why I bought this app. If the author hasn't crippled this app after I bought and paid for it, I would give it 5 stars. Unfortunately the current version is completely useless to me..RavenfliteVersion: 5.8

✓ TediousGood app just very tedious to use. Also after naming a pin it doesn't show up on that pin. To go between modes you have to go into the settings, change mode and hit save. It would be cool if in the upper right hand corner (or anywhere on the main screen) you could just change modes.. It would be cool if you had more options with your pins, like if I click a pin I would have the option to connect to another pin or measure distance. It's very tedious to have to go to the setting select your mode then to measure distance add EACH pin to the map.Rox86Version: 5.3

✓ Good at measuring BUT...Too much of the phone screen/map is taken up by white areas of icon & a search bar that is permanently there. The drop markers are also too bold, they used to be a neat little drawing pin i.e a small dot with a stalk..Canvas.KVersion: 9.4

✓ Not impressed. Far too simpleVery simplistic.StevecathtomVersion: 0

✓ Horrible updateThis was a terrific app but the update is terrible. I was using it to determine evacuation parameters for medical emergencies. Can no longer get altitude or measure multiple distances from a single point.PwldocVersion: 9.1

✓ IOS6 upgrade crash problemsI had been using this app with very little problem until I upgraded to IOS6. Suddenly, with your latest app upgrade to suit the new IOS, I can't get it to work: the map doesn't load to any usable level of detail (except continental), and it crashes each time I attempt to zoom in further. Please fix this..Mistar RashidVersion: 5.7

✓ Rubbish..Bought this app since it states that searches can be made with Latitude and Longitude. No instructions are given on how to do so. Also, there are no options to view Lat/Lon coordinates on the app, which is why I took a chance and purchased the app. Only readout is strictly on distance.. Update: Learned how to input lat/lon but when I inputted the site of the Japan quake in lat/lon, I found myself somewhere in the heart of China.. sad...Hawaiian808808Version: 3.1

✓ Not goodWaste of money does do anything useful.. The help file does not download and can’t work it out without it ..Ferrit429Version: 8.3

✓ Potential to be great appThis app provides very accurate distances from my experience but would be 100x better if multiple point measuring (a to b to c track) was available and also the ability to store tracks. I use this for kayaking and unless I'm on open water and have a direct shot to where I'm going, I have to run multiple point to point measurements to determine my route distance..Coon's CornerVersion: 3.0

✓ The update ruined the best measurement app and made it unusable for me.I used it to measure multiple distances from a single starting point. It looks like the only way to do that is to be standing at that starting point. Also, the notes pop up after each point you drop is annoying..AppleTV : (Version: 9.1

✓ Too cumbersomeI like the new design but there are too many steps when getting a distance between two spots. I use this for golf and it is now too cumbersome. Please find away to integrate the old process with the new design..Tate0328Version: 9.1

✓ ExcellentExcellent tool to indicate total,miles walked.SaedjeelVersion: 5.8

✓ Nice but only from current gps locationWhat would make this a 4 or 5 star for me would be the ability to have a start and stop. I need to be able to see distances on south america. Was in hopes this app would do it. What do you say guys?.TimbercatVersion: 0

✓ Distance only from current locationPurchased to measure distance between two points. Only measures from current location. Because of this I see no need in dropping multiple points. Until this resolved, look elsewhere..TheRaspVersion: 0

✓ SlowMap rendering is slow, frustrating when trying to get something done. Randomly shuts down. IOS 6 iphone 4. Great concept, accurate, just needs a little refining/improvement for a paid app..YakondafoneVersion: 5.5

DistanceMap works most of the time. If it is not working for you, we recommend you excersise some patience and retry later or contact DistanceMap.
