NB. This review is now several years old. I will be updating it shortly. The apps themselves get updated, in some cases my gripes have been addressed and I am acutely aware that some features which I have no time for, are now widely accepted and used. For years I used the excellent 'Viewranger' app for maps and planning trips but this disappeared into the vortex of global capitalism and re-emerged, much changed, as part of Outdooractive, a German company. I applied four main criteria in searching for a replacement app. Ideally it should: Give you good quality maps, preferably usable offline,  Allow me to upload my routes and for you to access them.  Import my detailed notes on interesting or entertaining places on the routes. Have a clear and intuitively usable interface. This wasn’t straightforward mostly because my needs will probably be different from yours as a user and my experience is muddied but because I am a paying user of some of the apps and not others.  None...
