Hi Vanja
Like you, I haven't been out with it yet, but have had a play with it. I
also hold my hands up to not reading the guide yet, but have it on my
note-taker to do so today!
But my best friend in Scotland went out with it yesterday, and there were a
few things he told me he wasn't keen on. Firstly, there is no favourites
section, so you can't add routes you use regularly. You can't also add your
own POI's as far as we know. He also felt it was out quite a bit in terms
of shop location, but is going to try cutting down the distance in settings
and see if this makes a difference. He is still of a mind that if only
Trekker Breeze updated its maps more frequently, it would definitely be his
preferred GPS system as it is easy to use from his pocket with AfterShokz
headphones on.
But I am sure there will be plenty more discovering to be done on this app
as we all throw in our thoughts and experiences.
Kind regards,
Jackie Brown

My first observation about this app.
First of all I have only just installed it and only plaied about with it for
a short time. I need to advise that I havent walked out and about with it
yet and only plaied about here at home. Hving said that, I must say that
although it definitely recognised my address, sadly it claims that there are
no near by places even though this is definitely not true. For example,
there is a pub, an off licence and a couple of shops all within about 5
minutes or less walking distance from here. It says that it partly uses
google maps and google maps certainly recognises those location, but this
app does not.
Also, in order to find friends near by it says that you have to log in to
facebook, but I dont see anywhere with in this app an option to do so. So
how does one log in to fb with this app?
So, its hard to judje how good this app is, as I said, it is disappointing
that it doesnt recognise certain points of interest near by my flat, but as
I also mentioned, I havent walked about with it therefore I most certainly
didnt fully test it.
