Maps on GPS Phones

Ordnance Survey topographic maps for UK and Ireland can be used on a GPS mobile phone with ViewRanger.

The Anquet Maps app allows users to view Anquet's UK maps on their iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. The app also accepts routes generated with Anquet Maps for Mac software. Both applications were developed by Virtual Programming.

Downloadable Maps

Due to cartographers restrictions/copyrights there are only a few companies that have the platform and technology that can securely distribute original maps in digital format via download. However those that do, like Anquet and emapsite, often provide free software that manages the maps but also helps route planning, map printing and programming of GPS/PND devices with those routes and maps you downloaded.
