### 4/5 — Northumberland maps offline

*2023-08-15, version 2.1.1*

Excellent map as are the others in the series. Quick and reliable to use. One snag is that part of the  coastal map detail along with the coastal path route east of Alnwick is missing.

### 1/5 — Oh Dear! Much of Northumberland missing!

*2020-08-12, version 2.1.1*

Just bought this to plan some walks around our local area, and we’re not even included!

The area South and West of Hexham is prime walking country (known as Hexhamshire), and yet it’s missing - as, of course is our own house and area around that - we do live in Northumberland!

Honestly, if you advertise your app as being a map of Northumberland - which you do - then you should really include Northumberland - all of it. Otherwise, advertise it as a map of ‘some’ of Northumberland - which would be more accurate.

Oh, and to include parts of Scotland, and not Northumberland, feels like a right kick in the ****s!

I’m feeling short-changed here!

edit: so the developer has responded, saying that the map is of the National Park + a little of the coast, as per the description in the App Store. Well it says that now - but it didn’t when I bought it, so my comments above stand!

### 1/5 — Conned

*2019-02-04, version 2.1.1*

Paid £1.99 for maps of Northumberland and it’s not even a full map, not showing anything south of the A69 isn’t right. I previously purchased the Lakes map which has been excellent for me and as we’re going for a weekend away in Northumberland I thought I’d buy this version too. Really disappointed that the whole map isn’t included. I’d prefer my money back to put towards the paper map.

### 2/5 — Interactive mapping ?

*2017-08-28, version 2.0.2*

It works but sections close to the sea are missed off in certain areas. Not that impressed

### 5/5 — Why aye man, it's fab

*2017-03-31, version 2.0.2*

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

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

*2017-03-18, version 2.0.2*

Good to see the map area has been extended from around the national park boundary to include most of the coastal areas.

### 5/5 — Great quality Ordnance Survey maps

*2016-10-29, version 2.0.2*

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).

### 2/5 — Disappointing

*2016-06-03, version 1.0.0*

Nice app but there are too many hill footpaths missing to rely on it.

### 1/5 — Incomplete

*2016-04-25, version 1.0.0*

At any level of detail a coastal stretch (of walks) does not show - could not use for a walk around Craster and etc.

### 1/5 — Northumberland

*2015-08-03, version 1.0.0*

This app leaves huge areas of the county uncovered. For me a total waste of money.
