No sooner does Anquet
announce an iPhone app, than fellow digital mapping software specialist
Memory-Map follows suit
with the launch of its
own iPhone application.
Available 'very soon', the new app will display maps from Memory-Map's
current range including Ordnance Survey's Explorer 1:25,000 and
Landranger 1:50,000 maps, CAA and marine charts and the company's
world-wide mapping.
The app will use the iPhone's in-built GPS to show real time position
on the mapping and will be able to 'download routes, tracks and
waypoints as well as access a host of other useful features'.
Meanwhile Anquet's Mac software which will work with the iPhone and
also with Intel Macs, though not the older PPC versions, is about to go
into beta testing prior to launch.
What it all means is that in the near future, iPhone users should have
a choice of four apps capable of running OS mapping - the existing
Route Buddy Atlas, Anquet, Memory Map and iOSMaps, which downloads OS
mapping free if you have a data connection, though the app is limted
and often exceeds that limit fast.
For the minimally minded, have a look at GridPoint GB, which simply
gives you your position as an OS Grid Reference.

More than likly, no. Given the OS draconian rules with what you can do with the maps. I would hope however I am wrong.....

In this case I think yes, read their announcement a couple of times and it says. "The Memory-Map iPhone app will be available through Apples App store and all our maps are available through all leading outdoor, cycle and other specialist retailers." So looks like it will work with the normal maps sold in the stores, yipee if I've read it correct
