Can confirm UK Map for iphone is fantastic. I have used it all over the UK and it works perfectly, all 1:25 and 1:10 are free after the initial purchase. The app now allows GPX files to be uploaded from web site which makes following routes a doddle

Shame it isn't 1:25,000 though - they want you to buy credits to then buy the higher detail .

Suppose they are OK for use with a GPS device but I swear by the 1:25k for proper walking.

I'd love a map for Loch Lomand... Ffs, doesn't inspire me with much confidence

where do you get those maps ?

You can get them from ViewRanger. I only buy the tiles I need rather than a whole area. Only spend about £10 a year for much better mapping.

I buy my 1:25000 Explorer maps here for £5.84 each.
Each map has a scratch off code that you can use to install the same map on a phone or tablet. They say you can only install each map on one device, but I've had no issues installing all the maps (I've bought 5) on a couple of phones and a tablet.

There's always free alternatives, you just need to know where to look :grin:
I use these maps with Locus Map Pro play.google.com/sto…pro There is a free version of the app too.
androidmaps.co.uk The offline vector maps can be viewed as "Hike and Bike", "Ski", "City" and "Road".

Not much point in having OS maps on your phone if you're walking in a remote rural area with no signal. I'll stick with conventional paper maps, thanks.

The point is that the maps are on the phone, so no need for a signal

Dont need a phone signal, just a gps signal.

Nothing feels as good as a paper map unless it blows away of course :wink:

Sorry to hijack the thread, but I'm hoping a ViewRanger user can answer a question that I can't find an answer to online...
If I purchase any tiles/maps, do they automatically update to the latest version if a new one is available, or will I need to repurchase the maps/tiles?
Many thanks.

When it comes to payment, is it through the play store - I'd use up some rewards credit
