Rallista

Overall this a great app that needs a slightly larger community to discover it. I’ve found several very cool routes I wouldn’t normally see on a Google Maps service. Pros Waypoints are generally pretty good and easy to add Topography maps make canyon roads fun and easy to find Easy to learn interface Estimated distance and times are a great way to keep your spouse from underestimating the adventure you’re dragging them on Cons No easy way to edit a route once set. A List of directions/stops would be nice No way to tell a road from a hiking trail in-app. Off-road/dirt designations would be nice Once a route is set there is no way to reverse the directions so you have to rebuild your route in reverse

I bought the app, which appeared to be a free download but turned out to cost $3. That would not be a big deal if I got something worthwhile. It has no instructions and I can’t figure out how it works. The link to instructions takes me to a feedback page. Great idea, but my initial Impressions of the execution are not good at all. Follow up: A friend of mine also purchased the app and had exactly the same experience. His opinion is that its a beta version not ready for market. I have to wonder if all the dozen or so great reviews are plants by the developer.

Wow. First tour today with it, overall solid. Minor nits: Would *love* the ability to lock the map to north, and ability to use “offline” so in remote areas the app is still relevant. But will be looking into using this again.
