Download GPS Route
Older Garmins : some Garmin's cannot import the "routes" we use in our GPX files. We are considering a GPX "track" version. In the meantime, use Garmin Basecamp
How to use GPS data
The Android and iPhone apps, and GPS devices like the Satmap 20, work while you are out walking as the maps are stored on your device, i.e. they don't use 'data', and you don't need a signal.
The best bit is the 'you are here' symbol on the map! Also, taking a powerbank with you is highly recommended!
Apps - OS maps
OS Maps
android iPhone PC
OS Maps Online - a website for planning routes, and an android/iPhone app with OS 1:25K and 1:50K mapping.
Not easy to recommend as downloading maps is a drag

android iPhone PC
Anquet OMN comes with an annual subscription for OS 1:25K and OS 1:50K mapping for Great Britain. Use discount code SWC20 at checkout for 20% off
Apps - OpenStreetMap
OpenStreetMap is a global free alternative to OS maps. It's more accurate in places, but doesn't have rights of way information. Brilliant for when you go on holiday!
Maps.me free

Maps.me is a free Android and iPhone app. It uses OpenStreetMap maps, which are also free.
Easy to use. Works with our KML files. Doesn't have contours.
Orux Maps free

Excellent, but over-complicated to use. There is a free version on the Oruxmaps website.
