Takes a little getting used to but seems accurate. However, I have purchased the upgrade of this app last year but now no acknowledgement so need to purchase again. No way to get money back as far as I can see.

Have had the free version for a while and now it's overwritten with a 15 day trial version. How wrong is that? If you have something it shouldn't be taken away.

This app has potential, but the demo is so neutered that you can't test it's features without paying. I'd be happy to pay $35 for a good navigation app, but I'm not going to pay to find out if it's any good. The design is awkward and overall poorly fitted to mobile use, which is unfortunate in a mobile platform. All the key functions I'm looking for seem to be listed, but route planning was clunky on a 5.5" screen. Needs integration with computer for planning, map loading and editing. It might be worth the investment, but it simply feels to amateurish at first look to warrant the risk.

First off, this app won't import KML or KMZ files, which then requires the user to convert them files to GPX files, a time consuming and unnecessary step. Although the app has gazillions of features, I don't really need 75% of them, so it becomes a cluttered and difficult app to learn how to use. Help manuals are vague, and I've yet to receive a reply from the developers on their forum. Would like my money back.

I've been using Pathaway since my Treo days, and it's still the only app that lets me upload my own maps. The interface is quite clunky, but more usable on my larger Galaxy S4 screen than my old Palm and Nokia screens. I keep tapping the wrong buttons even though I've been using its many iterations for over 7 years. The Windows map editor has changed little since 2007 but still gets the job done.

I enter notes and then you can't find them after you save them. Beeps at you for apparently no reason at all. The design is cluttered, developer needs to simplify the app.

Really like this app it takes me within feet of waypoints i put into it, sometimes i find the map hard 2 read to know which way 2 ngo but that is my weakness and not the apps, juat as good as a $400 gps i my opinion. Works well on my Samsung Galaxy 5.

5 stars and purchase express version if I knew I could have AIS overlay. Needs green/white, red/white diamond and red triangle markers. Needs to zoom in tighter!

Have been a long time user of Pathaway, starting way back in the Palm days and through several windows mobile versions. But this Android version is a severe setback, with missing functionality compared to the WM versions and very unstable - especially with auto selecting and auto zooming of maps not working properly - if at all. I more or less bought this version with my previous experience with the program in mind, but now feel it has been money wasted. Time to start looking for a replacement :)

Just blah... if it wasn't for that problem with loosing license when flashing your phone or when replacing it under warranty (happened few times to me) maybe I would buy the full version ,but when you can't save maps for offline use (free version) this app is useless. Gmaps are actually better in that regard. hear that GREADY MUSKOKATECH INC.?

I was expecting a turn by turn navigation. It is a must for the pro's version price. A Straight line guide is pretty much not enough nowdays. No garmin maps support avalable....
