I haven't used it but looking at their site it does have quite a few useful features.
The most interesting to me are
- plan a route on a computer (or app) and follow the route on all devices.
- all in one osm, gov topo, satellite image integration.
The usefulness is having all those features available on one app/service.
Whether it's worth paying $40 per year for the convenience is up to the user.
I will say that I find the unwillingness of people to pay anything but a couple of bucks for apps quite strange. I went out to dinner on Fri night. Paid $80 (for two) for a very ordinary meal.. which is a two hour, one use product. But when it's a app costing half that for multiuse, decent functionality for 12 months. people balk at the cost..
(Not meaning to call out anyone in this thread..just making a comment generally on app costs and willingness to pay. Also keeping in mind that developing an app costs $10,000-$100,000 if you hire a app dev firm)
For me I'll stick to orux maps. While it doesn't have a integrated desktop planner, and setting up a sat view is laborious, the navigation tools are superior and I can add high res dem files for precise elevation information.
