What people write
Lacks accuracy. The inability for the app to plot the actual route needing to be walked to follow a footpath ( rather than plotting straight lines between points) leads to confusion at times. It resulted in taking the wrong route when routes gently branched away from each other. I didn’t feel it worth the spendMore quotes with Plus
