I had the free version of the Earthmate app, synced to my inReach SE and really liked the combination (Ive got the app installed on my iPad mini, so the maps are a decent size). In learning the app, I found out that in order to create a waypoint, you have to have the upgraded $30 version of the app. After contemplating it for a few days and being sold on other additional features of the upgraded app, like the world comprehensive map database,I bought it. So far, I think I wasted $30. The maps don`t seem any more comprehensive or detailed than the free version. You can even kind of create your own waypoints with the free version by simply turning on the tracking feature and then turning it off again after it has marked a tracking point. You just can`t label it, like marking a good fishing spot or the likes. You also can`t creat a waypoint in a different location than where you happen to be at with the free version (at least as far as I know anyhow). All in all, I`m not so disappointed that I`d ask for my money back but I am disappointed in the map detail and so far it looks like the only feature I will use that isn`t on the free version is the ability to label waypoints.
