"Gigantic waste of time & money!!!"
Version: RouteBuddy 3.3
Pros
Pretty map.
Cons
Where do I begin?
1. Address search is cumbersome, unreliable, and anti-user friendly.
2. A huge memory hog! Zooming in & out, and map refresh takes as much as 4gb of RAM on my brand new Macbook Pro!
3. It's extremely SLOW!
4. On-the-fly routing is nearly impossible because of #2 & #3 above.
5. Dropping waypoints and creating POI's is ridiculously difficult because you can't just drop a marker and then route to it, you have to find the exact location first, then mark it, then save it, and only then can you route to it. But again, see #2 & #3 above.
6. The software is $60 + $40 for the North American map--WAY OVERPRICED!
7. LOUSY support, only one guy named Neil.
8. NO REFUNDS! I will have to have my credit card company reject the payment!Summary
I wasted $40 and countless hours trying to figure out how to make RouteBuddy work--and it was all for nothing.
Don't make the same mistake.
