As a swiss citizen and Microsoft product fan this the app to have. However is it planned to bring it to mobile ? In case you wouldn't need some support please get in touch. I'm glad to contribute to a such essential app!

Works well, but would like to be able to save map tiles to specific location, for example save to SD card.

Great for tablets with no cellular data. Download maps while on WiFi and still use the maps when disconnected from the Internet. It took me a while to find out how to delete tiles that have been downloaded, but the feature is there. Also, memory usage keeps climbing as I use the app and it starts to get leggy after a while. Have to close it periodically. I smell a memory leak.

I'm pretty impressed with the layout of the app. There are some improvements needed thought. A better compass calibration method would be nice. As it is now, I'm not sure if it is pointing north or what. GPS location is off on average of 100yds. The App needs more options in the settings section. Like having the choice of imperial instead of metric measurement and maybe a different coordinate system like degrees, minutes and seconds. More maps like USGS topo and a good aerial map option, preferably Bing aerials would be nice to. And having the ability to download for offline use would be great. The Two best things that you have going for your app is the layout and its cross platform capability. I would easily pay $30 for your app with these improvements, additions and the ability of having it on 3 devices.
