Looked into Viewranger.. £4 to buy .. not bad methinks. . .

Then maps are £18+ each :shock:

Would like an overlay for Google maps for bridlepaths and public rights of way etc. . .

Have a look at RMaps on Android Market.

Couple of good features :

Open source OS maps
You can put GPX routes in it's folder on your memory card and load them in for navigation while you're on the bike.


There's one or two apps that use the open source and free OS stuff.

Google maps is king

bing maps is better than google, since they (Microsoft) acquired multimap it means free OS maps for all.

How do you see where anything is other than roads, houses and trees, ... try finding a footpath or bridleway

 

[gibbleking]

custom layers can be added but i have no idea how...trial and error i guess

I prefer multimap too, for the OS maps...........easy to take some screen grabs to use on my iPAQ (cooncil gps!!).
