Great start. I like the design and function of the map. Works well and easy to use. The daytime view is a little washed out looking and could use bolder secondary roads and names. Does not show closed roads. Speed display doesn't always show and the map seems to take a while to settle after making a turn. Gas prices are not up to date and should be updated daily at least. Would like to see crowd reporting built in.

I used to love Scout, but their last few updates kept making the app progressively worse. The voice navigation is much quieter, the directions don’t all make sense as there are extra streets listed at the start of my route than actually exist, and perhaps most importantly: all my saved routes lost their label names in the update. What’s worse is that there is no way for me to change the label names again, so I just have a long list of addresses, most of which I don’t know what they match to.

I have been using Scout for many years, the print is very bold & large enough for driving. The new Scout GPS that I accepted is a horror story. It is total Microprint, a whole total different format. I am very sad about it. I used that above Google & all others. It was my favorite because it's easy to use. That option is no longer there.Why have microprint when a person has to drive a car? Who can see something like that? I need glasses and a magnifying glass, which is just rediculous..
