Ahhh right I will have a snoop at it... I know the official memory map app sucks as you have to buy all the maps at retail price

Whatever way you look at it, paper maps are the losers

I just think paper maps will be better for planning as the whole map can be laid out on the table not just a 3"x4" screen.
I just wondered which one were easiest for planning and navigating round the lanes.

Paper maps are fine if you have someone in the passenger seat who is willing to read it and give directions.
