Memory-map is quite good you can buy the Landranger and Explorer OS maps for it. |

Yup..appart from the normal googlemaps or Bing Maps if you have unlimited data and good reception as bing also have fresh new OS mapping/road satnav type and sat imagry to choose from. There is also Memory Map that has a free trial download for the i-phone/i-pad.. (Also for android smart phones) if you like it then buy the MemoryMap UK maps for about £100.. You can share routes..do all your planning on the PC/Mac and then simply transfer/download the area with the route to the phone and away you go using the phones built in GPS... The alternative is ViewRanger.. I use this most of the time and it works a bit like MM. But now MemoryMap has a phone app it might just beat it.... MemoryMap Get a proper otterbox cover for it.. http://shop.memory-map.co.uk/acatalog/i ... ender.html |

I just buy the Memory-Map mobile only downloads of the maps, which is a lot cheaper and then use something like OS Get A Map for planning routes and printing copies. Memory-Map Mobile only 750sqkm is about £12 a pop choose exactly what you need to download on the phone. OS GAM about £20 a year for unlimited account with printing. |
