A Cautionary reminder

In defence of the OS map app, you can download bits at a time for when you know you'll be out of mobile range. And that's at no extra price. So you could go on a touring holiday, and just download the maps you needed for the following day - eg, if you had wifi at your stopovers.

Thanks Noel. I actually just went back into the OS maps app to try that but my premium subscription has now expired and I couldn’t. Presumably the downloaded map only stays on your phone for a fixed timescale?

Good question. Maybe it deleted when your subscription expired. I've just turned my wifi off to test it, and I've still got my local downloaded maps from maybe 2 years ago.

We did the same and downloaded a set of maps onto an ipad for the Isles of Harris and Lewis a couple of years ago and it worked very well.
