siearl Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Hi all, Just out of interest looking at linkng my laptop in to my GPS unit. What software do people use for offroading and green laning as have been looking at the garming / tomtom stuff and they dont seem to do anything which includes off the beaten track forest lanes.

Guest diesel_jim Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I run memory map. great stuff that is. it's done by the ordnance survey, so it's a direct copy of the OS maps you have, showing byways,RUPPs,footpaths etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Humphreys Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Memory Map is what I use as well, got almost all of the 1:25000 maps as well as all of the 1:50000, along as some others. Its a lot to buy new, about £80 for each area of map. Theres a new one coming on the market soon as well called Trackexplorer, it will have all the rights of way marked on it. You can down the LT version from www.way-finder.co.uk Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
