Hello, Seeing as how both abs could easily coexist on a device, I would not recommend removing Nearby Explorer, especially if you have the full version with the onboard maps. In my opinion, nearby explorer is still a superior product compared to this latest offering from good maps. I'm glad

People can't contact you with Do Not Disturb on if you disable the feature where a call which is repeated within 2 minutes it let through, but of course you also have to make sure you don't allow Emergency Bypass for some people. This is much easier now in iOS 15 because if you really want a

Whether you delete Nearby Explorer is up to you, but I'd check with APH first. I was under the impression that Good Maps Explore replaced Nearby Explorer, but I don't have documentation to support that. You do not need to delete anything to run Good Maps Outdoors. Richard "Reality is the
