Looks cool. Just need to integrate it into some wearable mtb glasses.

It is pretty nice feature! My daughter likes it too - it add a fun factor to the walks, when she checks if we are following the arrows.

Can someone give me a summary of costs?
Can it use existing OS maps, or do I have to buy them again in-app?

The app's free to download and use and there are a number of [url= http://www.viewranger.com/en-us/maps/free-maps ]free mapping options[/url]. The OS maps are app-specific and can be bought by region, country, individual tile etc.

I was wondering if this had been mentioned on here. Just installed this myself - had to update the app and then update my maps with the skyline data. Pretty cool feature, even sitting in my house it shows me where my local 'peaks' are (South Downs so more like hills really), like the blue follow trail thing, could be really useful when exploring new trails and there's 2 paths close together. Supposed to work offline too so you don't need a phone connection. Amazing!
