Hi Brett, I'm Li, founder and developer of Mud Map 2.
You bring up great points. We have a small development team, the app was
released 6 weeks ago and it's just the start. Heaps of feature upgrades are
planned. Upload your tracks as a GPX trace to OSM from the app is one of
them.
Are you able to send me the link to that track? I'll have a look at it's
compatibility with Garmin basecampe.
Mountain peaks are available as a POI, you can turn them on by going to
Options > MapKey > POIs.
We don't include all OSM attributes in the offline vector data yet, but
plan to include more features. Which attributes are you keen to see
included?
As for battery life, did you have the phone's screen on the entire 2 hours?
Screens kill battery life. Mud Map 2 has background tracking, so you can
put your device to sleep and it will keep recording your location. We've
logged 6-7 hours using an iPhone 4S.
I do pay attention to this mailing list, however you are always welcome to
contact us with any feedback on supp...@mud-maps.com for topics directly
related to our products.
Li.
