★★★★★
A great tool for those in the rail industry. Pinpoints track location using Miles and Chains (yards/metres in brackets). Good for Network Rail engineers, PICOPs, Possession Support staff, Train Crew (for incident management) etc to communicate accurate location to Signaller.
★★★★★
Poor update The new version is very poor considering the information you used to receive, no up/down info etc, the camera doesn't seem to store any of the photos so a whole day was wasted as I now need to revisit. Update:06/02/14 The camera stores photos but I have to use a file manager to recover them, also there is a mileage mistake on the NEM1 lines, Omnicom informed. Update 05/08/14: Well they fixed the camera issue but that's about it, still a mileage mistake on the NEM1:(
★★★★★
Chains not working. As mentioned earlier chains isn't shown. It briefly flashes but reverts back to yards. Otherwise an excellent app. Still gonna 5star it because I am sure an update will rectify this.
★★☆☆☆
Very disappointed to find out you can't select a point on the track map to find its elr and mileage on android. That was by far the most used function on my iPhone. Handy for logging exact locations on pictures though.
★★☆☆☆
I've used this for a few years now and this new version doesn't work properly. After accepting the terms and conditions and starting it's asks for the GPS to be put on even if it's already on. Then I get the same screen asking for the same thing. I've tried with GPS off and then starting it but same problem.
★★☆☆☆
I have also changed from Apple to Samsung recently and I can no longer pinpoint mileage at other locations on the app. Used to be a very useful app but not very good now. Also jumps about on current mileage when I'm stood still in one spot.
