initial impressions good with easy downloading of areas, snappy loading of maps and zooming BUT overemphasis on social and route finding functions so there's limited phone screen left to actually view the map! No option to fix scale so that zooming out for route planning doesn't change to road atlas or other map... edit - prompt customer service with simple (obvious) touch on map to go full screen. They will consider Scale Lock

It's pretty annoying. all the time, a lot of notifications and suggestions. it somehow thinks I want to add some photos, but I do not! it can't remember the last activity type - all the time, I need to choose it from the very beginning. Actually, it tries to make me save my route, but I don't want to. I need just navigation and nothing more. all the time, I just struggle with the rest of the features. don't think I by it.

Originally, like many Viewranger users being transferred here, I was unimpressed, especially by the loss of my purchased map tiles during the transfer. However, we were offered free Pro status to ease transfer which sounded good at first. That ended and I lost everything, but an appeal to Support fixed the issue to protect my investment with enhanced value. Very Satisfied.

Hi M B, everyone who owned maps in ViewRanger gets at least the same maps permanently in Outdooractive. On the website, click your name top right. If there's a green box about legacy maps, agree that. In the app use My Page, Sync. You'll see an extra OS item (or others) on the map layers panel. For more help, please email service@outdooractive.com.
