What app were you using? I use gps essentials on my DROID and love it. Its nice seeing where you are especially when your not familiar with the area. And with gps essentials you can tag spots on the map so you don't loose your way to the cabin or the dock.
I was just using "maps" from google.
I just downloaded the gps essentials app and will give it a try tomorrow. Thanks for the tip. Way points will be a nice addition.
