### 5/5 — Excellent maps

*2022-06-28*

Just used in Cairngorms for a week’s hiking I wouldn’t be without them wish they were available for all of uk

### 5/5 — Absolutely fantastic

*2021-09-25*

These apps are a game changer. Only downside is they’ve made our paper OS maps (almost) redundant.

### 5/5 — Fandavidozi

*2017-03-31*

Love this app. I've now got every app in the full set of National Park series. Well done. I recommend.

### 5/5 — Best offline OS maps at a fraction of the cost

*2016-10-13*

These are the best detailed maps out there and the route planning is the easiest to use from all the apps like this I've looked at. As you zoom in the detail increases right the way down to 1:10k.  The comprehensive search and hill details is amazing too with every detail of every hill covered (I've not found a hill that's not included).

### 5/5 — Great App from great collection

*2016-10-01*

The map detail combined with GPS and the excellent new route planning functionality (including gpx import/export) make this app a very useful aid to a traditional map and compass. 5* 👍👍👍👍👍

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2015-05-22*

Excellent detail of paths and routes. You cannot get lost now. Part of an excellent set of maps.
