£1000 Of Mapping Software To Give Away

Gear news in association with
eVent Fabrics

Ten Quo Pro mapping software systems are up for grabs in the latest OUTDOORSmagic competition. Each one is worth £99, and all you have to do to get your name in the prize draw is answer one simple question on our competition page.

Ordnance Survey Maps
Ordnance Survey Maps on Quo Pro

Quo is a relative newcomer to the field of mapping software, but Dave Mycroft, OM routes editor, reckons this means "the company has been able to look at what's missing from the competition and integrate it into their software". Read his full review of the Quo Pro system for a more indepth analysis of its cons and, erm, pros:-)

Getmapping Aerial Photography

The software features:

  • Ordnance Survey maps
  • Getmapping aerial photography
  • Route planning, distance measuring and drawing tools
  • Add pictures and text with media stickers
  • Easily share "projects" with other Quo users
  • Multiple seamless maps
  • Unique zoom & picture-in-picture controls
  • Live GPS link and Advanced GPS manager
  • Route analyser
  • GB Place & Country Gazetteer
  • Import/Export over 100 file formats
  • Advanced control printing

So, if you fancy getting your paws on a system, make sure you enter now.

Other prizes currently up for grabs on OM include a Páramo Fuera Smock, a Vango TBS Spirit 200 Lite tent and Venom 225 Sleeping Bag, and five pairs of Bridgedale Trekker socks which go on offer every month in our photo competition.

Paramo Fuera Smock

New competitions appear on OM as often, and as erratically, as snow storms in the mountains, so it's always worth checking the competition page for the latest details.
