I've tried OSMand 2.1.1  and Copilot 9.6.2.957.  I've downloaded 
appropriate maps.  What I want to do is find a route to Zion National 
Park or Zion Canyon or Zion Utah or any combination thereof.  Zip. 
Nothing.  Clearly I'm doing something wrong, but I can't even find help 
functions.  They find local gas stations, etc. and that's quite nice, 
but I want to find routes to distant  locations without city or street 
names when I have no wifi access to google maps, which does what I want 
just fine -- but not out in the middle of nowhere.  That's what I hoped 
OSMand and CoPilot would do, and I seem to remember that at some time in 
the past they actually did.

I don't like relying on the Garmin -- when I wanted to do the above 
search, it didn't find Zion unless I added 'Visitor Center' and routed 
me to a nearby town which was WRONG.  Looks like these aren't reliable 
either.

Anything new in the last 6 months?

Cheers, Bev
