We listened to your feedback and have added some more features to the first version. TopoSports has been enhanced with the ability to find nearby quads and download them. This is especially useful for the following two use cases: "MyLocation" keeps showing you in an area for which you do not have a map. Simply press menu and select "Nearby quads". This will show you all the nearby quads in a grid. The quad for the map you are looking at would be the center of this grid.

Great catch:) When we first started the project, we called it skiracer. Infact when you install the app, the name of binary that is installed is skiracer.cod!!
