It's hard for me to see the business case of going up against Google, Apple, etc even (much smaller) Garmin, on the single feature of 'maps stored on device'. Tough business model over time.
One feature I would like to see in these types of apps would be a way to ramp down the battery consumption. It's a well known fact that polling GPS consumes lots of juice. On my BMW, running Rever to track my ride, my iPhone continued to lose power while on the charger. Ugly so i had to only use the app selectively. Haven't had a chance to try it on my F6B.
So feature suggestion: have a setting to dial back the polling rate and thereby extend my battery life. I really don't need resolution down to 10-20 feet.
