As I have mentioned on a previous post I recently purchased Memory Map for the PC and decided that this little gem of a software package was worth it's own topic.
It has features galore! You can plot your own routes on the screen overlaying ordnanance survey maps at a scale of 1:25k or 1:50k. These can then be printed as route cards or saved for later. Not only that but once you have plotted your route you can then take a 3D fly through to get an idea of the scale of ascent and the length of the route.
Memory Map is best used when synced with a GPS unit, you can download routes onto your GPS ensuring that you always follow the correct route or you can upload your route from GPS onto Memory Map and check the exact route that you have walked.
Routes can also be saved and shared with fellow users. So if anyone wants to share some walking routes then let me know!!
If this all sounds intriguing and you just love planning walks and looking at maps then I highly recommend this piece of software. You can dowload a free trial here:

So, does anyone else use MM???
