maps of Park shows trails and roads etc, but no way to zoom in to your current location using the GPS. at Kings canyon and attempted to download the Sequoia and Kings canyon Park info for office use while I have wifi at the lodge. download always dies at 38%. tried clearing all data and downloading again. same result. this app needs to be updated and tested. the idea's are good but the execution is not satisfactory.

A must have when visiting National parks. Save parks you visited with your own photos for easy reference. Load maps for use offline. Get all details for individual parks locations, hours etc. Find parks in your so you dont miss one when on vacation. Look at photos and learn more about the park before you go!

The app is pretty good. It could use better integration to a maps app. The shame of it is, in some parks, instead of teaching all of history, all you get is the negative things in American history. An example: Introduction of one of the Founding Fathers in Boston on the Freedom Trail.. "This man attained a lot of income from slaves". Teach it all, but stop drowning the listener in the negative things.
