Customer Reviews

• Good App

  by AL812

  My GPS just died and was looking for options to replace. This app does just what it says. I have used on several outing and have had no problems so far. Support has been great and is actively working on updates and enhancements. Looking forward to more gas stations and businesses.

• Nice app

  by ChrisWayne67

  This app solved a problem quickly over the weekend with a trail closure on a late night ride. Was able to easily determine location and identify an alternate route on a road to pick up the trail on the other side of the closure. The GPS feature is what's key. The app works with no issues including when there is no cell coverage.

• Got stuck on "checking for trail updates"

  by ericwalsh90

  tried to use this app at tug hill over the week end. when i opened it up it got stuck on "checking for trail updates" because i had bad cell service at the time.

• Fantastic!

  by Daggerdoggie

  So far, it's the best trail map I've used and I think I've tried them all.

• Good App

  by AvidSledder

  This app worked fine, just would run a little slow at times. Well worth having if you are not familiar with the trails.

• It Really Does work

  by Oriskany

  I originally gave this 3 stars,,, I was wrong. It's 5. I've used it more and love it. No more guessing where I am on a map and how far is it really to where I want to be. PLUS,, it will be great on the ATV because slot of trails in Lewis county are shared with snowmobiles. It would be nice to have 2 counties ready to go but hey it really is just a phone. Great app,, worth the money!

• Snowmobiling NYS

  by Jayzuki

  Great app, has a ton of info for when you're out riding! This app gives me confidence to ride anywhere and know I won't be getting lost or running out of gas! Worth the money in my opinion!

• Nothing but problems

  by T-O-dbl-D

  This app never worked correctly they were always fixing bugs from it crashing and for a $20 app that's only good for one year (no more updates after the year u buy it) and then they want to pay another $20 for the updated new year one what BS for a $20 App

• P.O.S. - STAY AWAY!!!!

  by KDBoutelle

  This is absolutely, hands down, the biggest waste of $20 I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with. Does NONE of what it claims to do when off-line. Save your money, buy an Ultimate map and deal with the inaccuracies of that paper based garbage. At least with the paper version you can find your location without a GPS. You've been warned, buyer beware!!!!!

• NOT Happy

  by 2buyORnot2buy!

  I just bought this app and I'm VERY disappointed! I should've trusted the previous reviews....this app isn't worth paying for. In fact, after I saved specific routes, I tried to access those routes and it keeps CLOSING the app so I have to reopen it and start again (this has happened numerous times already). Also, snowmobile trails aren't even accurate. I would give this app a rating of "0" stars if I could. Not worth buying, not worth the $20.00. You're better off throwing away your hard earned money some other way.

• Total Failure

  by bgc33

  Works great as long as you have very good reception or WIFI wherever you are. As soon as I took it out on the trail it froze while updating and no amount of power cycling the phone or restarting the app would fix it. Wouldn't pay $1 for this app if I had the option again. Downloaded "Polaris Snow Trails" for FREE and was very pleasantly surprised. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!

• Worst app I've ever bought

  by Skidoochop

  Worst app ever and I paid $20 to boot. Always loading updates. Just got back from a week in Old Forge and this app was useless. Does not flow and very hard to read. Shame on me for not following other reviews, but I guess live and learn.

• F

  by DonnyPea

• Booooo fix it!

  by Jakejake851

  1 star till fixed

• Don't waste your money

  by Skidooxman

  Great idea but it doesn't open once you download the maps. Don't buy it

• .

  by Dave3411

  Don't waist your money! Won't open any locations!

• Good app but some problems

  by Rxwar04

  It's nice to have this app if u don't have a gps on ur sled!! I know this app is new and has bugs to be worked out but for 20$ crashing shouldn't be happening!!! If they can fix the problem and have the new release with route creation to show u what trails to take to get to where u want to go like a gps should I would give this app 5 stars but right now it's only worth 2 for me!!!

• App crashes

  by dan8056

  The app crashes while loading maps. Not good for a app that costs $20.
