Os maps

[Outnabout]

Cancelled my os subscription app was buggy and kept crashing when using route tracker feature. The main draw was for printing off the leisure maps.

Does view ranger provide these when you sign up for the subscription if not is it possible to get them elsewhere?

Cheers

I'm thinking of switching as well. The Android version of the OS Maps app is damn near unusable when you're offline, even with the maps downloaded on to the phone (by downloaded I mean redeemed paper maps, not maps created on the app). Can't zoom out, can't pan, can't rotate the screen. Where you've got two contiguous maps downloaded, it can't automatically move from one to the other. There's an update imminent apparently but I'm not holding out much hope.

The reviews on Google Play are pretty much all along the same line, but OS don't appear to be listening, actually telling some reviewers that they shouldn't be relying on electronic maps anyway. Well, yes, of course, but the OS have provided the option so at least make it usable!

It's like Scotrail setting up a train service and then telling us we shouldn't be relying on their trains to get us from A to B. Actually, scratch that, it's exactly how Scotrail works...

I've got Maverick. Downloaded all of the Lake District in Landranger and Explorer format to cover the whole of the Lakes in quite a short time, and now its purple arrow shows me where I am anywhere there. I originally got it free via some coupon a friend passed on (can't remember what or when,) and it doesn't seem to have charged me since (Shhhh)....unless it is charging him and he hasn't noticed. I am on an Android system.

There is at least one on the Internet using a PC that can be used to print OS mapping for free.
Although all apps I have on a phone do not allow printing off mapping. Unless there is a complementary PC version that can be used. IIRC

I've used viewranger for years and now you can subscribe to OS mapping with it (albeit for a pound a month more than the OS app) I can't imagine using anything else.

In other news i submitted an amendment to the OS about a wrongly positioned sea stack on the north east coastline and after a couple of weeks got a really nice and considered email back to tell me what they'd discovered about my suggestion. We're so lucky to have them

But the original question was can you print off the OS mapping? As such from the app. I don't use VR so don't know.
Can you? Ir just print routes.

@crfishwick what program is that? Regarding printing them off its usually just a screen shot of my route its not to scale.

Viewranger is brilliant, I've been using it on the phone for several years now. Sadly you can't print the maps though.

For digital mapping and printing on the computer, I use Mapyx Quo. I believe they were or have developed a mobile app.

I use Quo as well. It's free but you buy the maps. The mobile app is MXMapMobile. It's available for a small fee and you can put any maps you own on and off it via the main program. I really like it.

I also have used quo since its inception. Tried their mobile app but it is years behind the rest unless it has improved! Anquet a similar good for a PC but terrible as an app!

Nobody seems to rate MMap! Don't know why as they are the market leaders and others follow including Viewranger.
