Memory-Map iPhone App Out

Memory-Map's iPhone app has been released and is now available from the Apple App Store making the company the first major PC-based digital mapping specialist to port their software over to the iPhone platform.


The new app uses the iPhone's built-in GPS to display your position on Ordnance Survey mapping or full colour topo, marine and aviation charts and there's a trip computer displaying time, distance and average speed. You can upload and download GPX routes and tracklogs to and from the unit and it also downloads a free base map of your current location.

The killer for existing Memory-Map users is that  it will also use existing Memory-Map v5 maps and charts via WiFi, but new users get a Topo Starter Pack including over 3,500 square kilometres of Digital Map Shop credits which can be used to download OS 1:50,000 and 1:25,000 maps direct to your phone.

We're getting hold of a copy for review, so more news shortly. Price of the new app is £19.95, but that includes the Digital Map Shop credits as well as the app.
