PathAway software has evolved from real customer usage over that past 15 years. The iOS version represents the culmination of our experience building world-class software trusted by the most demanding users. Here's an early user review from the iTunes app store that descibes the user experience well:

Only GPS App you will need for the backcountry
This is it...The only GPS app you will need for backcountry activities
like cycling, sailing, hiking, or anything else that takes you off the
beaten track! PathAway has been a full featured favourite on Palm and
Pocket PCs for years and is finally available on the iPhone. I've tried
other hiking and biking apps but nothing comes close to PathAway in
versatility. I love the ability to create and import custom maps which
show all the detail I need to create routes and navigate on the fly.
Routes can be as simple or complex as I want or need. Maps showing
different features and levels of detail can be layered on top of each
other. Custom dashboards display realtime tracking and navigation
information. Scott and his PathAway team have done a great job of
putting the backcountry at our iPhone fingertips.
