Pros and cons of OutDoors GPS France Cartes IGN app for iPhone and iPad

OutDoors GPS France Cartes IGN app good for

As avid hikers, my wife and I love OutDoors GPS France. The GPS tracking is first rate, we love planning our routes and the best feature - access to the IGN maps. Were particularly fond of the new subscription service which provides access to all the maps.
This is by far the best app to use for places that have no wifi. My friends and I love biking and have found many new views and beautiful trails because of this app. Thank you

Some bad moments

I downloaded app but can not connect to the map store. I get a cannot connect to the outdoors gps server. Update: By restarting my iPad 3 it takes me to the home page and I can connect and download maps So I was able to download a specific offline map yesterday when I got connected. I needed to email support to find where the map is stored and they responded promptly. A nice feature is you can chose from 3 sizes to download exactly the area you are interested in. Once downloaded, you can access offline while traveling. Now you can have offline maps for non urban areas.
