Upon installing the application I was notified that I would need the pro version in order to locate peaks in more than one location per day. Seemed fair enough, I likely won’t usually need to use this more than once a day but I figured I’d sign up for a year membership if I enjoyed using the free version. I entered into the app to try it out and learned that I needed to download data for my vicinity, 130mb.. Seems like they must be doing something pretty inefficient to require a file that large for everywhere you go (and certainly makes it impractical if you have low cell service, like for example in the mountains lol) but I allowed it just to try it. While I am waiting for the information in my vicinity to download I am prompted that I have used up my one location for the day and must pay to view more. So essentially, I spent my free location for the day downloading unnecessary data (even though I was still in the same location lol). Pretty sweet! Looking forward to checking out other options or writing my own app for this.
Hello, the best way to evaluate the app is to use the free 1 week trial. That way you won't have any limitations and won't spend anything.The app loads 130MB because in the mountains you can see a hundred miles away. It is the size of a high precision 3D terrain model with satellite imagery, hiking trails, lakes, towns, and plenty of other data you might need on your adventure. The app works offline, so when the data is loaded you can still identify all the peaks and use amazing 3D maps, evaluate routes, and plan the hikes. That's why the app loads so much data. By the way, you can always disable some layers in the settings if you'd like.
