:: INFORMATION PACKED
The interface for Easy Trails GPS 6.0 has been significantly changed with this update. The interface design was rewritten completely from scratch to keep in mind usability. The new interface displays every feature of the application regardless of the current activity going on, making it easy to switch between Easy Trails GPS’s many features.
Other features added in the release is support for Retina display devices, sharing location via Twitter, the ability to archive up to 1000 tracks and 2500 waypoints, waypoint proximity alerts can be turned on with use of the Notification Center, exporting all track information, and the ability to copy and save waypoint pictures to the clipboard or the iOS camera roll.
Easy Trails GPS is available for $3.99.
:: UNIQUELY MEMORABLE
There's something very satisfying about zooming in and out, and scrolling around all without waiting for the images to load. It is completely instant. Fantastic.
Other great features include recording your tracks, creating walking tours (combinations of your tracks and photos), mark waypoints and points of interest, save and share your trails, and view a profile of a hike to gauge the elevation changes.
Here's a quick introduction to the app from the developers.

OS 3.0 In-App Purchasing
Versions of the maps updated for OS 3.0 will also include some great in-app purchasing functionality. You'll be able to buy small map regions for areas you are visiting for as little as $0.99. Think of a trip to Lake Tahoe and the ability to add the detailed map for that area with just a couple touches. Should be very powerful. The versions that take advantage of OS 3.0 should be hitting the app store soon.
Currently there are two free versions available in the app store. These include the Bay Area and Yosemite example applications.
