Full of interesting stories

The app has so many nice stories going back 1000 years till last year. Gives a whole new dimension of what happened here, how it happened. Very well told. Lake water is reducing and could find new stuff under the water.

GPS worked well even though the cell signal was not good. We could go at our own speed, took a break for lunch and spent time at the lake.

Highly recommend.

Developer Response ,

We're thrilled you enjoyed the historical stories and found the GPS reliable, even with weak cell signal. It's great to hear that exploring at your own pace and discovering new sights at the lake added to your experience. Thanks for the high recommendation – we're so glad to be part of your journey!
