Upload a public
walking or scrambling route to our new OUTDOORSmagic
Routes Section and you'll be automatically
entered in a draw to win
£50-worth of Anquet digital mapping of your
choice direct from Anquet's web site.
Uploading routes is as easy as we could make it - you have a choice of
simply uploading a GPS data file, using our online mapping system to
create a route by joining up a series of clicked waypoints, or - if you
prefer - you can simply enter a written route description and we'll do
the rest. You can even upload images from the walk immediately, or come
back and do it later.
The system automatically generates a GPS data file that you can use
with your GPS unit or mapping software plus plots the route on a real
Ordnance Survey map to make it as easy as possible to follow.
Once you've uploaded your route, you have the choice of keeping it for
your own use on your 'My
Routes' page or you can choose to share it with
other OUTDOORSmagic users. And you can change the status any time you
like as well as keeping your routes page private or making it
publically viewable.
The routes system is also a fantastic way of finding out just how far
you walked last weekend and how much climbing you did, so go and have a
play.
The Prize
Every
week we'll be giving away £50-worth of Anquet Ordnance Survey
digital mapping which you can use with Anquet's free mapping software
to plan routes on your PC before transferring them to a GPS unit for
use on the hill.
Anquet's online download facility means you can download maps instantly
from the web site, choose and define your own map boundaries - just buy
what you need - and access free bonus maps as well.
