Just go ahead and create a new thread on it, in the Mobile Apps forum. I'll take a look as it may be an issue in the feed programs from the site.
Thanks!

Hmm, looks like it's using the correct coordinates but just plotting it a ways off.
I'll email Nathon on this one.

Update: Nathan found the problem and will correct it with and Update in the Android Marketplace.

Thanks again

So I am trying to search for this app on the android marketplace but can't find it, even tried scanning the QR code and still nothing. Has the app been taken down?

It probably doesn't show up for you because your device may not meet the minimum Android version requirements (v2.0.1).

I would just like to say how awesome the app is. I was at the peak of Mt. Evans today and I really didn't want to hike the same way back or take the road, so I pulled out my phone and looked up alternate routes down Mt. Evans. It was very useful!

Bill, just out of curiosity -- do you plan to make "Routes by 14ers.com users" available to download on the 14ers.com app?
