When changing “buy” maps model to subscription model, increasing map price by 10€ and not telling your customers (thank you Apple for your notifications!) is really dirty tactics. I use this app for navigation for more rhan 7 years, having Garmin Fenix but guys in Garmin - you deserve some good competitor, because you deserve some face slap from your customers.
Scam
Mawellan
Used to be good app, but when they sell you 1 year subscription and after only 2 months it stops working and they tell you to buy AGAIN 1 year subscription but this time for double price and fifth of functionality, that is what I call scam!
