The app can be a great helper for you! We like the fact that in this application you can develop a route by setting points on the map. In the advanced versions, you can also add the weather to the map, or even make your (own) map!

The best smartphone Outdoor Navigation I know.

by Joel (MobArmor) - USA
The interactions of the app and its functions have been very positive.
We had some great test time on the app this past weekend and showed it off to a large crowd of people. There was a very positive reaction from sample consumers. They really liked that this app is for both Apple and Android phones.
- We have tried loading race courses into the app and it is very easy. The app accepts GPX files and displays them nicely.
- We ran the app frequently on an iPad mini over last weekend while we we're doing some off-road testing and the battery life of the tablet was surprising how long it lasted on a single charge.
- Background tracking was very nice, it seemed to get GPS lock and never let it go!
- This allows me to start GPS tracking, turn off the screen to save battery and throw my iPhone in my backpack when we go off into the hills on motorcycles. When we stop or get lost I open the app and see everywhere we have been accurately.
- The app is very easy to customize with different dash layouts and color choices. This is awesome.
- I really like the ability to label points of interest and have them display.

PathAway for Android
I would like to commend your program today. On my hike over the Alps (125 km) worked PW5 Pro without error. My tracks were recorded properly and on the external SD exported (Android 4.4.3). I was reliably performed on the track. The program is fast. It works without a long delay. The map view is very good for me. PW5 Pro is for me still the best program.

Review for PathAway Express on iOS
For me the best navigation app out there...

I used it for years on the Palm and absolutely loved it. Since the Express version for iPhone/Pad is out I bit the bullet and bought it, and again absolutely love it.
I handles your own Bitmaps as well as downloads online maps. It works with TTQV, Ozi and Fugawi. It caches the maps it downloads, so you don't need to download them again. I have for example all the Hema Great Dessert Tracks (Australia) on my iPhone, and quite a view other Bitmaps (Topos) of my local area. Since I have Pathaway I have not once used any other GPS App.
Got all of that in the one app.
Clear thumps up from me...

Best GPS App yet!
I have looked at, installed, or bought more than eight different GPS and mapping apps so far, and Pathaway is the best so far for what my particular needs and interests are. A little bit of background, first. I was looking for an app that handled topo maps well, would allow me to load custom maps, e.g. trail maps, geology maps or campus maps, had good tracking, good zoom in and out, map layers, and customizable data displays for my middle-aged eyes to choose what I thought was important to display. I tested on an iPod Touch 3g with a DUAL GPS cradle.
Here are the features I really really like:
- dynamic map uploads from OpenStreetMaps, TerraServer, etc. This works very well when I am connected.
- caching of web maps. This is a must for me, since I am using an iPod Touch without a wireless connection. -
- ability to work in the background, after hitting sleep. This is a big bonus for me. I was able to track hikes all day on one charge using this little gem. My particular GPS cradle uses its own battery for the GPS, and with PathAway running in the background, like music player, I could go six hours and still have 60% charge left. I would only switch the screen on at junctions or to get bearings, maybe every 30 min or so - and my position was up to date, along with my track and progress.
- ability to load my own maps. Using the external utilities from the PathAway site, I can load all the USGS geoTIFF maps I want, and PathAway knows how to zoom and scale between different map resolutions. This was a major pain for me in another popular topo map app. Pain gone, now that I am using PathAway. Another big plus, is that I can use Google Earth KMZ files, or even images from other areas. I have old geology maps of my area which I was able to scan, and easily designate lat/lon points on it, and voila! I have another map layer to add to my web maps, USGS maps, and plot layout maps. Just remember that your maps have the suffix ".prc" - probably left over from Palm device days. Oh! and you can import maps created for Palm Windows CE, and other devices over the last many years.
- ability to customize the display. When driving, I like to see my speed. In a BIG font. I can do that with PathAway - I can choose what gets displayed, how big, and where on the screen.
- easy to export and import maps and tracks. I don't have to mess around with a klunky i-thing web server that never works at work. Just use the iTunes files transfer in the device apps tab.
This looks expensive, but I have paid much much more for less functionality on other devices. The inexpensive Lite version also allows uploading tracks, and may suit your needs, but I am quite happy with the Express version. All my other topo and tracking apps will be gathering dust now that I have PathAway.

Finally! View GPS raster maps on the iPhone
Finally, the raster maps on the iPhone!! And it works great. It's like the Palm, where it worked very well for years. Go through Dropbox, mobileme for transfer over the network, or FileApp or Flash Drive to load the file with the itunes sync (very fast). Really. Now that we have the ability in iTunes to have the file exchange, it is 5 stars. The iPhone has become a great tool for GPS field, really useful. The online web maps are nice, but not good enough for hiking trips for the experienced or in deserted areas (with Touratech 4 for example). All other programs have fallen behind now! MAJ. You can put the cards directly from iTunes and sync goes really well and very fast.I just do the test with maps of India exported for Pathaway (Palm) and is fully compatible. So just super. Now, the dream tool is here!!. Bravo developers!
Original French version: Enfin les cartes raster sur l'iPhone !!!! Et ça marche super bien. On se croirait sur le Palm où cela fonctionnait super bien depuis des années. Passer par dropbox, mobileme pour transfert via le réseau, ou FileApp ou Flash Drive pour charger le fichier avec la sync itunes (très rapide) . Vraiment bien. Quand on aura la possibilité dans iTunes d'avoir l'échange de fichier, ce sera 5 étoiles. Mais déjà là, l'iPhone est devenu un super outil de GPS sur le terrain, vraiment utile. Les web cartes sommaires, c'est bien, mais pas assez bonnes pour les balades en rando par exemple ni en expé dans des zones désertes (avec Touratech 4 par exemple). Tous les autres logiciels ont un paquet de retard maintenant... MAJ. On peut mettre les cartes directement depuis iTunes et la synchro se passe super bien et c'est très rapide. Je viens de faire le test avec les cartes de l'Inde exportée pour Pathaway (Palm) et c'est totalement compatible. Donc tout simplement super. Maintenant, des petites retouches d'apprence, et l'outil rêvé est là !!!! Bravo les développeurs!

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.

by Goosilein - on iTunes App Store Germany - (translated from German)
This is it!
Perfect! This is THE off-road GPS navigation program in general. There is no better and certainly not at that price. In addition to online maps now has imported TTQV calibrated maps in PathAway format. Import and export of tracks and routes to function properly with various file formats.The support by the developer is very quick and exemplary. Clear recommendation for all those of the functionality of the Express version is enough. For me, the most "killer features" now implemented.

Das ist Es!
Perfekt! Das ist DAS offroad GPS-Navigationsprogramm schlechthin. Es gibt kein besseres und schon gar nicht zu diesem Preis. Neben Online Karten können nun auch z.B. mit TTQV selbstkalibrierte Karten im PathAway-Format importiert werden. Import und Export von Tracks und Routen funktioniert einwandfrei und mit verschiedenen Dateiformaten. Der Support durch den Entwickler ist sehr schnell und vorbildlich. Klare Empfehlung für alle denen der Funktionsumfang der Express-Version ausreicht. Für mich sind die meisten "Killer-Features" nun implementiert

Best GPS navigation App for iPhone
I have been using PathAway since 5 years ago on Windows Mobile and it was my favorite application. When I switched to iPhone 2 years back, since then I have been waiting PathAway for iPhone (iOS). There are lots of GPS navigation applications for iPhone but if you really start using this PathAway, you will know the difference at once and will love it. All features are there except importing customized maps in this LE version. This app is the best GPS Navigation App for iPhone.

Review on PathAway LE
Fantastic App for the backcountry
I've used and loved PathAway on my Palm handhelds - for years of fun and safety while navigating the Canadian backcountry and long distance walking in Europe. The upcoming Express Edition promises to be just as useful and better looking - with the ability to calibrate and upload custom maps. With custom maps, nothing will be able to beat PathAway 5 for iPhone for awesome flexibility. That will make it a 5 out of 5 stars! In it's present "lite" form it still works well (especially the ability to easily add waypoints and build routes on the fly) and is worth a try.

I have used Pathaway for many years along many country paths in Germany and Italy. I can highly recommend the new portable phone Pathaway for Symbian! I use it on a Nokia 6710 Navigator. With PathAway you can use your own maps when navigating off-road. By its clever programming, all necessary functions could be implemented on the tiny phone-keyboard. External GPS devices work fine and help spare battery power of the Nokia. The installation with Nokia Suite runs flawless.

Tom P.
With PathAway, you can create your own maps, even aerial photos, and import them. I have downloaded topos, marine charts, aerials, street maps and sectionals. The cool thing is that you can layer maps and switch between them. I have used this for flight, boating and hiking.

VARIFRANK blog titled "The Batman Utility Belt"

Pathaway. Ahhhh. Pathaway. The “GPS tool of the gods”. Pathaway quite literally does everything that you would want a good GPS to do. Its ability to allow you to make your own maps from topology mapping software makes it particularly helpful when you are off in the woods. Its real selling point is the use of GPS Remote Tracking (PRO Edition Only), allowing you to track other PathAway users or allow other pathaway users to track your position from either their own pathaway systems on their phones or on a website. GPS tracking is the killer app for GPS systems but tie a GPS to a cellphone and its really fantastic.

Softonic - On Software - Review of Mobile GPS Applications - The best mobile GPS software

Perfectly suited to orienteering, trekking, mountain-biking and other outdoor pursuits, it combines the accuracy of GPS location technology with high-powered path-finding and recording tools.

PocketNow Review of PathAway Professional Edition
by Mike Benten, Contributing Editor

PathAway Standard and Professional have tons of features and excellent operation. The developers really listen to their customers in the forums and the update cycle is short (sometimes a week between updates with new features). Aside from customization, PathAway comes with some very handy features that work together very well.

Overall I am impressed with the Remote Location Tracking and web maps, they worked flawlessly. The functionality of PathAway Pro is very impressive and valuable to a traveler or work force. The responsiveness of the developers to their clients, and the turning out of updates is wonderful...

If you are going to place bets on GPS software, put the money down on PathAway Pro because MuskokaTech has hit a home run with PathAway Professional.

PathAway GPS 3 Review
by Russ Smith, PocketNow Contributing Editor

I'll have to confess that this is one of those applications I didn't know how much I could use until I tried it out. When I did, I found a number of potential applications. The program is flexible enough that the only limit to making it work with location-based applications is your imagination. The question is not really "What can it do?", but "When it comes to GPS, what can't it do?" As you begin to see the wealth of applications, the $50 price tag looks all the more reasonable. In fact, as I'm writing this, I'm surprised the program is as inexpensive as it is for all the features it offers.

If you're looking for a GPS application to help you while you travel by virtually any mode of transportation; if you're looking for a GPS application that can take you virtually anywhere; if you're looking for a GPS program that isn't limited by the maps that come on the product CD; this is it. Look no further.

Review from PocketNavigation.de (German)

German:
PathAway hat alle Voraussetzungen, die Klasse der Rasterkarten-Programme zu dominieren! Das Programm besitzt schon auf der PocketPC-Seite einen riesigen Funktionsumfang. Track-, Routen- und Waypointverwaltung lassen wirklich keine Wünsche offen. Die reine Movingmap-Funktion bekommt allerdings auch der Anfänger schnell hin. Aber so richtig kommt Pathaway erst im Zusammenspiel mit TTQV auf dem PC zur Geltung.
Es gibt kaum ein digitales Kartenformat, DAs TTQV nicht einlesen kann, und alle eingelesenen Karten können erfreulicherweise MIT Übernahme der Kalibrierungsdaten in DAs Pathaway-Format übertragen werden.
Kalibrieren ade - nur bei eingescannten Papierkarten ist DAs natürlich auch bei PathAway/TTQV weiterhin erforderlich. Preis: ca. 49€

English Translation:
PathAway has all conditions to dominate the class of the raster map programs!  The program possesses an enormous function range on the pocket PC side.  Track, Route and Waypoint features really leave no desires open.  The pure Moving Map function also gets the beginner working fast.  But PathAway becomes even more effective in interaction with Tourtatech-QV on the PC.  There is hardly a digital format which TTQV cannot read in, and all maps and calibration data can be transferred directly into the PathAway format.  Calibration aide for scanned paper maps is also a natural fit with Pathaway/TTQV.

None of the other GPS apps I've looked at are as good as Pathaway. This spring we hiked for 6 days in the south of France and last fall for 5 days in Sweden, both times using Pathaway and maps I scanned and calibrated myself.

Ding C H, Ontario
Thank-you for the fast response in attending to whatever problem in PathAway 4 to make it the greatest mapping software which is unmatchable in the market. I don't think anybody dare to come out with another software to match the functions in PathAway.

Scott Morrow, Ontario, Canada,
I have been using PathAway as my primary GPs mapping software for well over a year. I use it for boat trips, hiking, vacation travel, and most frequently, for geocaching.
I have spent considerable time trying and evaluating virtually every GPs mapping package available for my Palm PDA as well as trying out many stand-alone hand-held GPSRs and to date, I have not found any other system as feature-rich and specifically suited to my purposes as PathAway on my Palm TX with a bluetooth GPs receiver. The ability to use virtually any map of my choosing has allowed me to load extremely detailed topographical images of the areas in which I go hiking, canoeing and geocaching, and I have actually had the good fortune to visit places and see things I would have missed completely if not for my use of PathAway.
Technical support from MuskokaTech for this product has been second to none with new features and problem solutions being made available on a regular basis via the support website. The personal service resulting from the ability to speak one-on-one with the company founder is virtually unheard of in this day and age, and is one of the most personally endearing and important aspects of PathAway and MuskokaTech. As a software developer myself, having the ability to communicate technical issues directly with the person who is the most knowledgeable about the product is unquestionably one of it's strongest assets and helps to ensure my loyalty and continued support for PathAway. Keep up the good work!

Ian P, Australia, Oct 2006
PathAway v4xx on an iPAQ HW Pocket PC machine has proved extremely versatile.
The in-built GPs receiver of the iPAQ is seamlessly utilized by PathAway. The 240x240 square screen (bane of many programmers) is similarly utilized, with a very good screen resolution.
Considering the price of the program, backup/upgrading and response to customer concerns are very good. From my perspective, the main value of PathAway lies in its ability to utilize calibrated pixel maps. Although the quality of the original pixel map has to be chosen carefully, zoomed resolution is excellent to perhaps 10m or less "on the ground".
My main use for PathAway has been in geological mapping. Excellent topographical pixel maps of Australia are cheaply available from a Govt agency and once calibrated (very easily done), using PathAway to locate the features being mapped is a simple, seamless task. Most efficient and cost-effective.

Perry Curling-Hope on PocketGear
This is a raster (bitmap) based mapping system which cleverly overcomes some of the inherent limitations in such systems when compared with 'professional' vector based mapping. Vector maps occupy less memory and are scalable virtually without limit, but require expensive, specialized software and considerable technical skill to produce and manipulate successfully.
Pathaway overcomes the zoom limitation by allowing automatic switching between a large map of low resolution to a smaller map of higher resolution lying within the coordinates of the larger map This can occur automatically when the GPs position enters the parameters of the smaller map, or can be switched manually.
The system is feature rich, all of which work very well.
Icon and tracking are vector based, extending the capabilities of this small system to an astonishing degree!
The GPs to PC screen fix is exceptionally accurate, the best I have encountered so far.
All in all, an outstanding application for the Pocket PC.

by Darrin Hatch on PocketGear
This software is great! I love how compatible it is with my Audiovox VX6700! I use it for everything: Hiking, Camping, Traveling, etc. Highly recommended!

I'm using Pathaway on my Garmin iQue 3600 for work in the oil field as well as 4x4 trips. I've been using the map sets that came with my SoftMap Technologies mapping programs, Canada Topo250 and Alberta Topo50. Using these programs it is very easy to load maps into my iQue and use them with Pathway.

To the creator(s) of PathAway:
My congratulation for this excellent engineering product.
I tried the demo version and found:
a.) functions (and details) are very helpful and reasonable selected (for sportive/leisure activities)
b.) operation is intuitive.
c.) it's very stable and predictive.

By Anthony on PalmGear
PathAway is the single best program for PalmOS. I'm using it with a Tungsten T-2, Emtac Trine bluetooth GPs, and ETopo digital maps. It is fast and incredibly easy to use, and it does everything you want to do when going out on the land.
I use it for hiking, fishing and hunting. I also use it for geocaching, and for data collection to create my own maps of local trails.
The on-map navigation is by far the best of any software I've tried -- many times better than Fugawi. Zooming, tiling, and layering maps works amazingly well.
Waypoints, routes and tracks are all good. The customizable navigation views are a really great feature.
Nothing else even comes close for the Palm. Try this one first -- you won't be disappointed.

By Lauren Glenn on PalmGear
I've been looking for a GPs program that can tell me how far I rode, walked, drove, etc. as well as tell me where I currently am. Before this program, I used 2 programs and neither one did both tasks like this program did. It not only tells you how far you've traveled, but it will show you the route you took and save it for later use. It makes nice use of the Hi-Res 320x320 Zire 71 screen. If you're approaching a WayPoint, it will not only highlight it for you, it tells you how far away it is (which is great when walking or riding).

It uses raster maps (i.e. picture files), but unlike other programs, this one lets you calibrate the map on the fly with the GPs Just pick two waypoints on the map and the map is calibrated. If it's still a little off, you can use the Nudge Controls to tweak it. It's about the best raster map calibration I've been able to find. When I first heard it didn't use vector maps, I wasn't going to download it. But after using all the great features, I promptly registered it. If you're using a Tracking program, Compass program, and a mapping software that requires you to purchase maps, get rid of them and get this program. It's well worth the money.

Ivona Manitius, Quebec, Canada.
Version 3 promises to be an excellent software. Technical support is excellent. I started using version 2 few month ago and I liked what it how it was performing on palm m515. New version (3) will be even more fun to play with...

Patrick Laarhoven, Netherlands
(Summary of PathAway 3 Presentation to PalmClub.nl)
People (myself included) were really impressed with:
- the High Res+ view on the Clie NX
- the zoom function
- the wider lines of the routes
These additions surely make PathAway THE program to have for the "Moving Map" program fans.

Thanks for making the world's greatest Palm application (over and over again!).

Excellent Software. I Started using a very early version of Pathaway, with my palm m500, and purchased the license, for every problem I've always get an answer from tech support, now I'm using it with a Tungsten and it just works better and better. It's very useful especially for the places where no maps are available (Mexico City).

Dan Baker, Australia
Pathaway is 'The' GPs program for the Palm, I am running it on a Clie N760C and the display of Pathaway is truly brilliant! I would like to say that this program blows the competition away! There is more 'stuff' on here than I ever knew I could need! :)

by Mauricio Taslik (posted on PalmGear)
Version 2.0 is really excellent. Most of what I was missing in version 1.2 is now implemented: proximity alerts, extensive tracking parameter configuration (track bias), improved GPs reception feedback (although I'd like to see a sky chart and some kind of warm start for Rand McNally Streetfinder), and enhanced map handling. General arrangement of data on the Palm display is neat and functional with its configurable dashboard.

By Tony Nilsson, Sweden
The number of useful Palm/GPs software available is now: 1
I've been testing quite a few different GPs Navigation Software for the Palm, but PathAway is totally outstanding... The customer support is also beyond compare... My e-mail message was read, the problem was diagnosed and an ETA of the next version was sent to me in less than 4000 seconds.

Nice piece of software. This is just what I was looking for. Great companion for my GPs unit even without the maps. Runs smoothly and flawlessly on my m505. Registering it was a no brainer - well worth the price.

I purchased a Street Finder from Rand Mcnally for my Palm Vx, that was the easy part... I live in Australia so the USA maps that came with my GPS were no good to me. PathAway solved this problem. I now can scan my maps or download them and away I go. For all you Aussie's looking for an inexpensive way of mapping your travel this is it!!

by Corrado Conforti (posted on PalmGear)
I downloaded it, installed on my palmIII + RandMcNally Streetfinder GPS, and... I Loved it!! My problem was to find accurate maps of strange locations, not covered by TomTom RoutePlanner or other software. Now, I can use Microsoft MapPoint or other PC mapping software to select the zone, with the desired details. Then capture the screen, import in PathAway with the mapping tools, and go!
Yes, now I really FOUND my killer application for Palm! A must have, for GPS-addicted guys. See http://www.dauphins.com/gps/gps.html.

This is an excellent piece of software. I tried it extensively on my Palm IIIx with RandMcNally GPS. Everything works fine. Importing scanned or digital maps using the Windows tool is easy, defining routes on the Palm just by tapping on the map with the stylus is very efficient. For my cycling tours, tracking was accurate and the 4 different screen views (which can be easily accessed by pressing a hard button) provide all information you want (e.g. position, direction, elevation, current/avg/max speed trip distance, ETA, predefined points of interest in the vicinity). Management of routes and tracks is well implemented. I contacted the developers with some suggestions for future releases (e.g. import/export of tracks). They answered the same day saying they are working on it. Considering that this is the first version of the program and that it is already superior to similar products, the rating is five stars.
