Just downloaded the free MAX OSX software. Off to have a play.

£19.99 for the iPhone App mind. Gulp. 🙁

Think you can also get [url= http://www.viewranger.com/iphone/ ]Viewranger[/url] on the iPhone.

Can't say how well it works on the iPhone but I have it on a Symbian S60 Samsung i8510 and it is as much of a GPS as I need.

Works brilliant on iPhone but Pete was after software that works on his mac too. I think.

Does it do anything that free stuff won't?

Anquet for MAC OS X is free. What I really wanted was something on my 'puter. The fact that I can combine it with my tellingbone is a bonus.

A double bonus is I still have access to the Lake District map I was using in Beta testing. Woohoo.

What really annoys me is that the maps I've bought in Anquet on my PC can't be transferred to my phone!
That and the app being £20 is a bit excessive! What do you get for the £20? Does the app come with map credit or is it literally just the app?
At the moment I'll be waiting for them to link the iPhone app with the PC version before I put my hand in my pocket!

You get some maps with the app but I am not sure which ones.

Just downloaded it but unfortunately it is Intel only. Bugger, another useful bit of software that won't run on the Powermac...

Well the program may be free but if you want any maps to go with it you are going to have to pay £££££'s

£564 for a map of a region OMG!

Digital OS mapping however you get it is expensive.

Which is annoying, as it's free online, just not offline.
