‘appen that I’m quite fond of old maps, and if I ever go back to 1911, I’ll be able to find my way home with this one (it could be a little awkward to put in a backpack though.... I’m also a bit of a sucker for old OS maps of places that I’ve frequented. The Bristol and Lands End maps are cloth. |

Just found this thread, I've always loved maps too and I'd never throw any away. I still use my old OS maps that are over 30 years old as I don't have smartphone technology The footpaths don't really change much out in the country.

I do love a proper map and must confess to still buying paper maps for everywhere we go.

A friend recommends Viewranger too. When I get a new phone I shall load that app above many others.
