Great Guide (5 stars)
We just got back from the Big Island and this app was invaluable!!! We used it daily to find places we marked as favorites and navigation in general. Our trip was awesome and I feel like we would have missed out on a lot of stuff without this guide. Thanks for putting it together!!!
