Does anyone use this software?
I'm thinking of subscribing (its about £18 for a year's subscription) to this service as I'm moving to a new area that I dont know very well and hope to get out and about on foot so want access to a variety of maps.
Its probably just me but I seem to discover the route or area I'm looking for is inevitably on the edge of 2 or more hard copy maps!
I like the idea of being able to print at home, customised maps with existing routes, footpaths etc as well as choosing from others in the database, or adding my own.
Apart from the cost, the free trial sample suggests its quite sophisticated and might take me a long time to learn how to use....I'm only averagely IT literate (not an IT-nerd or a map-geek!)
Thanks for any of your OS getamap experiences.
