I hate to quibble but you don't need to spend anything never mind 90 quid on viewranger. If you pay their opening 15 pounds you get tons of free map downloads included.

Hi Rob
I did the post suggesting a cheaper alternitive to other programes.
View Ranger for £15
Great Britain 1:50k (up to 14,800 sqkm),
1:25k (up to 630 sqkm). The £90 mentioned is for all of the UK
Mytrails you can download all of GB OS maps on an SD card + over 30 world maps to use off line £1.74p.
You save your selected 1:50,00 map tiles giving it a name. You can download as many map tiles as you want depending the radius specified. You load the selected map. Its there offline. When you pan if not conected it will only show map saved. If conected it will download tiles ajacent. Also whats good is you can zoom down to 1:25,000
Just think having all the OS maps on an SD card rather than using paper maps. No more blowing in the wind
I ve tried the old way with a compass and my mobile. It's easy to take bearings and dos'nt blow about
Great not just for GPS but as an alternitive to paper maps using a compass the old way
