    I've been playing around with it on a Galaxy S7, and I find it's quite easy to save routes. However, I can not for the life of me, find out how to save favorites. Would be nice to have an easy option that I can immediately save an address as a favorite when I type it in. Thank you!

    Hey @jollygreendoc , good news! In an updating coming soon, you will be able to save any location/address as a favorite. Right now, you are only able to save points of interest as a favorite. Here's how to do so:


    1.Tap on View

    2.Enable which POI you would like to see on the map

    3.Tap on DONE

    4.Tap on the icon for the POI

    5.Tap on Save

    6.Name your Favorite

    7.This will be saved under the “Favorite” option in the menu

    Please reach out if you have any further questions or issues.

    I've used it from the start. I am glad to see that the improvements I have suggested be implemented.

    I hate gps, but I almost like this one!

    Ok, dumb question here from an old non-techie guy,,,,,,,I realize this is for phones and tables with ios or android, My question is,,,Is there any way, or a different version that I could down load onto my office computer, it would sure come in handy if I want to double check a truck route if I had the same program as my driver??

    I can answer this one! Kinda.
    It's not currently possible, but it's something we can take a look at in a few months, after we've launched some more app features that we're excited about. If people are interested in a computer version for dispatch, they should message @Bridgette HAMMER, with a description of some of the features that would be important to you.

    Sad that I didn't see this before now, as I'm going on vacation for a few days. I'm currently installing it, though, & will see how it works on the way to the airport & while I'm away. I really look forward to seeing how it works when I get back in the saddle when I return.

    @Bridgette HAMMER ... Apple recently introduced an option where developers of iOS Apps can port them over to the Mac OS... not sure if it’s an easy process of flipping a switch or more complex but this might be a solution for those on the Apple Platform without needing to rewrite code specifically for MacOS.

    Ok. I tried it again yesterday. The volume icon is now out of the way and I can see the speed now. Thank you.
    Part of the route from Monticello, Ar to Lake Village. Normal route is from U.S. 278 to Ar35 out of Monticello through Dermott before hooking up to U.S.65 south. Hammer routes me all the way on 278 to McGehee then south on 65. Only 13 mi farther but also has me running through town in McGehee. Wife's sister lives in a rural area that Hammer doesn't recognize so I can only get routed close.
