    Recommend me a map app please.

    I use Strava on my iPhone, but the mapping on their is useless.

    I would like an map app which will show me a bit more detail.

    Does an app exist where you can share rides? This would be amazingly helpful for when I explore new places.

    I’ve just downloaded and am playing around with Viewranger – so far it looks pretty good. Uses O/S maps and allows sharing of gpx files. The app is free with some basic maps – it costs to download the O/S stuff.
    Just search for viewranger a dsee what you think.

    I also now use viewranger, it is excellent. Takes some faffing to get best from – worth looking at website how-to…

    Yep ViewRanger is good. Has nice route following options. Quite like planning out a route on the iPad app then transferring it to my phone.

    MotionX GPS is worth a look too. Free, offers a good range of maps, is very good at tracking and has some nice displays.

    Ordnance Survey have brought out their own map app for iphone. O/S map tiles appear to be cheaper than ViewRanger, but I don’t know any more about it cos I have android.

    I use UK Map – doesnt allow you to plot but its cheap and you can work out where you are without signal (needs GPS)

    It’s good in conjunction with a map cos it will go down to 1:10000 if needed

    You can use ViewRanger with OpenStreetMap/OpenCycleMap maps for free, with large scale OS maps when you zoom out (also free).

    That’s what I do, though I’d consider buying OS tiles if it was out in the proper wilds!
