Hello Everyone,

I have been looking for OS software which allows you to use OS maps on your Iphone and I have found this software called "Outdoors" at £14.99 its cheap. I have been using it on my Iphone which I have attached to my bike and it works a treat...Very good I must say. You can connect your Iphone to your bike by mounting it on the handle bars. You can buy a heavy duty waterproof/shock proof cover called an "Otterbox" to protect the device (just goggle it). You can also get a mounting bracker called a "Ram Mount" which is used to mount the Iphone on mountain bikes but works a treat on an off road bike.

There is a company in the uk which sell these for £19.99. I then used a cigarette lighter socket which I got from Hein Gerricke for a tenner (its a tidy one) runs straight of the battery with a fuse in line....Then I plug a car charger in the iphone and keep it charged etc. or just plug it in when the battery is getting low.....I found this a very cheap option that works very well.......Heres the software what do you guys think?? It works for me just thought id share it!!

I've got a HTC Touch HD with memory map installed.
Fantastic piece of software.
Just ordered an Otterbox 1900 with motorcycle mount.
Will let you know how the otterbox works out

I have the Outdoors os maps on my ipod touch. No GPS but still comes in handy. Been thinking about getting the Otterbox Defender case, do you know how waterproof they are?

Hi

Yes a "cool" idea as Apple people say. However the software might be cheap but I don't like the idea of risking a £350 iPhone on a dirt bike; sooner use a cheaper GPS.
