it's a genuinely decent software. I wish the roads were easier to see. and that it had more support for different kinds of trails. like a filter. but. it does have all the roads and trails and shows the flora,fauna, etc. in the area which is a nice and interesting touch. I also like that it uses Google maps to navigate to trail heads which is nice and familiar and mostly reliable. I'm impressed. I wouldn't say it's as good as Co Trex. but it does have several nice and unique points going for it

Incredibly beautiful maps with a lot of thought put into them. I enjoy the field guide aspect, being able to click on any point and learn about the plants, animals, geology, etc of a given area. Also useful for GPS on trails and making notes. This app has huge potential and many of the features are still being developed. Features like range maps will certainly improve with more users. Excited for what this could be in the future.

Beautiful maps! When I first heard of Natural Atlas a few months ago, I was blown away by the maps- they are as close to National Geographic quality that I have found on a digital map. However, they did not have an Android app until now. This will likely become my go-to mapping app on my phone!
