Description

***** From the producers of Lake District Maps Offline - nominated in the 2018 best app awards by the readers of The Great Outdoors magazine *****

From the producers of GB Maps (featured in Ordnance Survey's OS OpenData innovative application showcase)

Beautifully detailed maps supplied by Ordnance Survey.

Dartmoor Maps provides a useful offline (no mobile signal required) mapping reference and navigation aid whilst travelling throughout the Dartmoor area by footpath, road, rail, canal, lake and river.  Intuitive route and waypoint management features are implemented enabling creation, modification, deletion, import and export of routes. A powerful offline search facility can locate places, roads, post codes and hills within the region.  Worldwide online Apple Maps (Standard, Satellite and Hybrid) with map features that users are used to are available on both offline and online maps as well as providing 3D buildings on Apple maps (where available).

Maps

7 different levels of offline 2014/2015 Ordnance Survey map detail from national overview to street view within the region. (No data connection required)
Progressively more detailed maps are automatically loaded as the map view is zoomed. The OS recommended viewing scales for the more detailed maps are approximately as follows:

1:1000,000 (The whole of GB is covered at this map scale)
1:250,000
1:50,000

Brilliant

I have purchased various locations and use them a lot. The maps are detailed and the route plotting is really accurate - prefer the route this to the OS app which I also use a lot simply because these maps are restricted to certain locations. What they do better than OS is to switch maps as you zoom, why OS can’t adopt this I don’t know; it’s great to zoom out, navigate to a new location then zoom back in without ending up in a blank space with no markings!

Works but very limited functionality

I downloaded and purchased this app after reading the dire reviews of Ordnance Survey’s own navigation app.

I downloaded it in the morning and took it out onto Dartmoor in the afternoon. First the good news. The maps are very good (I think they use the OS data) - good detail for walkers with contours, features and critically, paths! Try using Google maps on Dartmoor and you just see one empty green space! Second your location is tracked accurately. I walked a known route and it placed me correctly at all times.

The problem with the app comes with doing much else. You can plan a route but I can’t see how the app can be use to help guide you along that route (e.g. by showing a bearing or even saying head NE). Also most hikers usually do some on the fly route alterations while out and about. You can’t simply add a waypoint and get nav to it.

Finally and probably most frustratingly it doesn’t record your track when you go on a walk - either one you’ve planned or an ad-hoc one. I had to use Runkeeper to do that. This is a key safety feature. If things go wrong in the mountains then the ability to retrace your route is key. But it’s also really useful to do a route in good weather and then save it for use again in bad weather when this app will be much more critical in getting you out and back safely.

I’m hoping the developers will continue to add to the functionality. At the moment I’d recommend it but it could be so much better!

Developer Response ,

Thanks for taking the time to write a review. The latest release now has route recording functionality.

Ordnance Survey maps at a fraction of the cost

These are the best detailed maps out there. As you zoom in the detail increases right the way down to 1:10k. The route creation is simple and intuitive (unlike other apps I've tried) and 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).
