Easy To Learn

One of the major pieces of feedback we've had over the years is that the existing app can be a bit difficult to get the hang of. For BackCountry Navigator XE, we'll be focusing on making the app easy to learn and simple to use, so you can get exploring the outdoors quicker than ever!
