Memory Map Landranger & Explorer

I was given memory map as a gift. I print out the1:5000 map to a
1:25000 scale on A4 paper. Far easier for me to read and I can write
bearings etc on it. I plan to get a laminater as the map is useless
if it gets wet. I always carry a Landranger Map as back up or if I am
trying to identify something off my trail.

I have a GPS but never figured out how to download the route.

Hi, I love my Memory Map, If using 1:25k maps the detail is easier to read
than paper maps due to the magnification options. I can spend ages working
out new routes and do far more new and different routes than I used to do.
The A4 print size is a bit of a problem for printing bit than can be
overcome if you have a A3 printer. I print and laminate all of my walks for
reference ( also carry a real map if away from my local area).
The MM selections can offer a better way into 1:25k as you can select 3
different area's of the country up to an area of 2500sq km.
Yes I do use it with a GPS but that is not essential unless you get lost!!

How do people find
Memory Map software for printing, planning routes etc
Is it an unnecessary toy or does it add anything.
Just general opinions would be fine.
I'm looking at the Landranger and Explorer versions.

I just got memory map v5.

It's excellent. I'm finding it really useful.

I just uploaded the Ullswater walk and included the maps and profile from
Memory Map in it. I also quite like the fly-through. Although gimmicky, it
does help to jog the memory.

it's much easier that using the measuring wheel and plotting the
ascents/descents and route by hand - which I have done in my other walks.

Just need a GPS now..............
