Hi,

Just trying to get a handle on what, if any, mapping software regional groups are using to record routes and rights of way?

There are 2 mapping dudes in the Suffolk group and we've got an even split between Memory Map and Anquet (me).

Devon Group uses Memory Map but that can output various file types so we can cater for Google Earth (free!) and other software users

You can't beat an OS map Signs - but I wasn't thinking that on my last ride out on a windy day - it was like a sail :lol:

With the mapping software mentioned you can plot your route sat at the pc and then download it to your GPS and off you go. Depending on the softeware you can use OS mapping so it'll look the same on the GPS screen but tell you exactly where you are and the direction you need to travel etc.
