If you reformat your phone or get a new phone, can you just download the app again for free?

On Android yes, and any device registered to you on the play store.

The iPad does make a good mapping platform (nice big screen) but if it's not the cellular model, then it doesn't have a GPS receiver. You'd have to use an external receiver or else you wouldn't be able to get a location fix when away from WiFi. And WiFi location is not very accurate of course.

At this point I think you'd be better off looking for a separate mapping app for Android. Here's a thread with some good looking options: Offline GPS apps for Android? I don't have personal experience with any of them to recommend one.

I was up in the "elkwoods" scouting a couple weeks back and of course...no cell service....I used the "BAD ELF" gps for Iphone and it worked great. This software is incredible. Reminded me of the chartplotter days on the ocean when I used same configuration (different software & hardware) to plot my where abouts on detailed maps. And +1 on a feature that shows private vs. public land would be awesome !!

Being from Victoria, I would like to see exactly where private land stops and crown land begins. Any way these boundaries can be seen using this app?

If you check out this post on the website, it has details and a video on how to configure custom map sources in the app if you have the mapping package. One of the sample URLs is for the private land layers from the BC online cadastre. You can tweak the LAYERS part of the URL to include different classifications of land ownership if the ones included aren't quite to your liking.

What do the purple dotted lines on the maps signify?

Recreation trails... May or may not be there, ie over grown or blocked from blowdown...

You can re-download as long as you don't switch platforms (ie. doesn't work going from android to iphone or vice versa)...

Reach, is there any update on when the Android version might get upgraded to catch up with the iOS version? I love the product but I'm moderately jealous of the iGuys.
