That's your opinion, add you have a product to sell.

And that's why most of these apps are pretty useless.

It isn't clear to me why you think they are useless. I find their policy to only publish official trails meritorious. Social trails have ruined perfectly good terrain in Summit and have frequently trespassed on private property to do so.

I find MTB Project the opposite of 'pretty useless'. It has helped me find my way out of a rat's nest of trails, more than once. I also find MTB Project's (admittedly the only app I've used in the field to date) accurate and the most up to date information available.

While I'd like to have a paper map on board that is accurate and easy to use as I don't like relying on technology in the field, they just don't exist for the trail system where I ride. The scale is pretty much useless as trail density is high and the frequency of new trails makes them outdated before they make it off the press.

I have had this weird issue with MTBProject (and HikingProject, etc) since I started using it a couple of years ago - the first time it looks for my location, it puts me way out nowhere near where I actually am. Then I hit the button again, and it finds my correct location. No idea what's up with that.

Both my Samsung S4 and my Moto Z2 show my current location when I start up the app. :huh: Me thinks you need submit a bug report. ogwink Oh, you just did. ;)

I think I've mentioned it before! But it seems to be a problem for exactly one user. @RachelV is there some sort of debug mode I could run it in (temporarily) that could generate a detailed log file?
