Garmin EarthMate app

Just noticed this, it runs on Android and iOS. It is integrated with the inReach devices that are based on DeLorme's technology, however it appears to also work as a standalone app.
Just offhand, I don't see anything compelling that isn't already available from a number of other apps. Too bad Garmin won't release a *real* gps app that funcitons like their dedicated handhelds, with the ability to load your own maps, etc. But maybe this app gives you access to DeLorme's maps, which have been popular in the past?
