Memory-Map Launches Free iPhone App

Memory-Map now has a free app for the Apple iPhone running alongside its paid-for app which has been available for a couple of weeks.


Whereas the full app includes map credits which you can use to purchase OS and other compatible mapping from Memory-Map's Digital Map Shop, the free version has all the same features, but comes without credits.

There's a Topo Sample Pack which will allow you to try the features on the app for fit and then, if you choose, purchase further mapping from the Digital Map Shop. If you do that, you can also opt for a cheaper mobile licence option, though this will only allow use of the mapping on your phone and not on your PC. Possibly a good option for Mac users then.

We've been using the full app for a couple of weeks now - review to follow - and we're impressed with the map reproduction and speed of zooming and scrolling. It's not as sophisticated as ViewRanger on a smart phone or a full version of Memory-Map, but it does most of the basics you'd expect.

Also imminent - it's about to start beta testing apparently - is an Anquet iPhone app. Watch out for out round-up soon.

You can download the free and paid for apps direct from the Apple app store. More information at www.memory-map.co.uk
