Great  news!!
I think this is the most used app for the FR

I've navigated with it on a roadtrip (navit as a backup)
3500km though eastern europe in 5 days (no paper maps or other devices)
I used googlemaps to do the routing, converted the road to gpx and loaded it
in tangogps
this worked great
and we didn't get lost :-)

other apps also use the maps of tangogs (advanced geocaching and evopedia
for example)
which is an acknowledgement that it's a good programme


keep up the good work!
looking forward to further upgrades
