These are the types of apps that might only cost you a few quid, but most are pocketing that without paying their mapping licence fees, and then letting you illegally download OS maps from sites like Walkhighlands - basically passing on all their licence costs to someone else and saddling them with the bills. They then avoid easy prosecution by saying that it's their users who are doing this as if it is not really the intention behind the app
If looking for a cheaper option and no subs, the talky toaster solution is the honest one.
